🆕 An employment tribunal has set out in great detail why the Supreme Court ruling does not require segregating Trans+ people from single-sex spaces, in stark contrast to advice from the EHRC

Also the most amazing thing happened, Rainbow Rose, the LGBT Labour of Europe has roundly condemned UK Labour’s transphobic action, this is significant in contrast with LGBT Labour’s craven silence.
rainbow rose NO! TO BAN ON TRANSWOMEN AT UK LABOUR WOMEN'S CONFERENCE We stand with the UK transgender community rainbow rose The decision of UK Labour's governing body to exclude transgender women from its women's conference next year goes against principles of human dignity and fundamental rights. Our thoughts are with transgender members of the party. We oppose this move and will reach out to LGBT+ Labour to advocate for a return to a place where transgender women play active and full roles within women's sections of the party.

A decade ago trans people warned this would happen.

The “gender-critical” transphobes have opened the door to a much wider attack on women’s rights, including on safe and legal abortion, birth control…

I even managed to get this published in @opendemocracy.net in 2022
Through the wedge issue of transphobia, self-identified gender-critical 'feminists' have opened the door for the far-right's homophobia and misogyny. After investing all this money, are they really going to stop at just harming trans people?

Greens welcome #GreatBritishRailways but what about rolling stock?

ROSCOs paid £275m in dividends to shareholders last year - a huge drain on public finances!

I urge the Government to find ways to bring our rolling stock into public hands.

An important point to come out of the Sandie Peggie case is that 'gender critical' employees can't take matters into their own hands and confront trans employees. If they do that it is likely to be harassment/ bullying/ a hate incident.
So far as her other comments are concerned, they were impermissible manifestations of her belief and were in our view what amounted to an incident of harassment by the claimant of the second respondent related to the protected characteristic of gender reassignment, reasonably perceived by the second respondent to be so, and were a breach by the claimant of section 26 of the Act and of the Bullying and Harassment Policy. The second respondent was entitled to view the actions of the claimant in those particular regards as being such harassment, or as a “hate incident” within the policy, and the first respondent was entitled in principle to act on the complaint made, but the detail of how it did so depends on all the circumstances as more fully addressed below. The second respondent was also entitled to regard the claimant’s actions as a breach of the second respondent’s Article 8 rights, so far as the claimant’s expression of her beliefs was impermissible. 1034. We also considered that the claimant had acted deliberately to be able to challenge the second respondent whilst they were alone. What she did was to wait until other members of staff had left the changing room, and for the second respondent to leave the cubicle, before raising her own beliefs directly with the second respondent in the manner we have set out. 1035. Whilst the claimant had not been informed as promptly and in the detail we considered appropriate, and the first respondent did not consider whether to revoke permission at all, the claimant did not herself raise any formal grievance under the policy. She is an experienced member of staff who had access to union advice. She knew, or ought reasonably to have known, that the first respondent having granted permission to the second respondent she required to have raised her concerns with the first respondent as the decision-maker rather than with the colleague to whom it had been granted, and in any event ought not to have done so in the manner that she did.

Here: Streeting and Labour invest £10 million into manufacturing the “evidence” they need to legitimise their cruelty towards Trans+ youth

Elsewhere, in the real world: Scientists - yet again - prove that access to Trans healthcare, including HRT, dramatically benefits Trans+ young people
erininthemorning.com Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com · 19d
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

Nor do we believe making life more difficult for those in need is the way to unify British society.

8% of the UK economy = more than £220,000,000,000 (£220 billion).

By comparison the entire NHS costs £188,000,000,000 (£188 billion).

Remember Farage saying #Brexit would fund the NHS…?
natacha.bsky.social Natacha @natacha.bsky.social · 27d
Once more without the typo;

#Brexit has cost the UK way more than expected; Britain’s economy has declined by a massive 8%. Investment is down 12%+

No wonder we’re getting poorer. Farage’s fascism & Starmer’s timidity have been a disaster.

We need politicians with the courage to say “rejoin”.

Excellent overview of the Good Law Project vs EHRC legal case.

It makes it clear that the EHRC - pushed by a few ‘gender critical’ transphobes at board level - has gone rogue… Even the Equalities Minister seems to be recognising it now!
