Folk apparently found helpful my exposition of what I have been calling the ‘Hansard Gap’ in the For Women Scotland judgment. At the suggestion of a correspondent, I am going to set out the myriad other difficulties with this judgment one by one over coming weeks.

I’m an atheist, so I don’t believe in an afterlife, but the US SC judges who came up with this nonsensical justification for allowing the Trump ban on correct markers in trans people’s passports probably do. If so, they are headed for a very hot place… 🔥 🔥 🔥

Supreme Court flaws.

I have been, and remain, very critical of the Supreme Court decision in For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers. I have at least 15 fundamental criticisms of the judgment.

Working today, helping a charity through a big change in their governance which has involved a stay away from home in grey, rainy England…

It’s a tough life, but someone has to do it!

Short distance Senior Swindon split

There are savings to be made even on relatively short distances.

Today I am off to Swindon with the Chartered Institute of Rail operators to hear Mark Hopwood, GWR MD speak. He is always good value.

I’ve been asked about the attached.

Of course, if the facilities are gender-neutral, or separated by gender not sex, or provided in areas that the Supreme Court ruling had no relevance to, like workplace facilities under the 1992 Regulations, no one is ‘flouting’ any law to be inclusive.

Who is in charge?

An aspect of the almighty mess that is the For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers Supreme Court judgment that I have found surprising, perhaps shocking, is the silence from parliamentarians about the Supreme Court’s ignoring the will of Parliament.

Something from Sonia Sodha I AGREE with, but not perhaps in the way she intended.

We do not rise by stamping on others.

The ‘childish and parochial campaign’ is the one that suggests women will be advanced by fitting us all into a patriarchal pro forma.

I always find it encouraging when the antis attack me for something I have written rather than the substance of what I have written.

Permitting the Conservative Party conference to be used for the demonisation of trans people shows the Conservatives will be unfit for government for a generation.

Inclusion of Trans people in Workplaces and Service Delivery

Anti-trans hate group 'Sex Matters' have been crowing about a Judicial Review they have brought against the Scots Govt to suggest that allowing trans people (trans women p’ly) to use gender-appropriate facilities is harassment of women.
