Amnesty argued at the Supreme Court, in the For Women Scotland case, that all protections for homosexuality under the Equality Act be rendered meaningless and gay only associations be made unlawful.
Twenty-two years ago today Section 28 was repealed.
But we're seeing history repeat itself as some in the media and in politics spread bigotry and misinformation about trans people.

The idea that we would grant people asylum, and then rescind it after potentially decades, seems to me both unworkable and inhumane.

NHS Cataract surgery update. I now have 2 operated eyes, 1 toric ,1 not. They wouldn't do 2 toric because one eye was not astigmatic enough. Second non toric surgery not great & still blurry1/2 .

I worked in tax. Supreme Court rulings in tax or any matter of law, as Jolyon Maugham once said but seems to have forgotten, are binding. l'd have been thrown out of my professional body if I'd told a client to ignore one. So this is the UK Govt advocating breaking UK law. Unprecedented I think.
Despite Keir Starmer's assurances last week, *this* week Bridget Phillipson has instructed lawyers to argue in Court that some men should be allowed in women's single sex spaces on a case by case basis, in direct contravention of the Supreme Court ruling. archive.ph/y4yW7 Labour can't be trusted

In a court of law this week Good Law Project ( which must now be an ironic name) argued that if you let a male cleaner into a ladies loo to clean it, that loo becomes "gender neutral" 😂

Lots of BBC bros on X denying there's an issue with bias & gender. Unfortunately TERFs always keep the receipts. Here's a lovely R4 Today programme producer in 2019

A bloody decade it took to get this. We still have numerous sport bodies in this country who allow men into female competitions in their sport and an IOC ban only covers the Olympics.

Trying to make everyone believe 2) is true, or a fact, is however, oppressive
the fact that sex both 1) exists and 2) can be changed is freeing, not oppressive
