If Edinburgh Uni, with no operational deficit, gets to sack 1800 people, imagine what this will signal to more fiscally challenged Scottish universities?
MSPs need to realise that this is more than a local crisis – we need urgent public scrutiny of Edinburgh’s governance.

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.

These are the reasons the Supreme Court gave for refusing to hear from the trans intervenors (whilst agreeing to hear from many transphobes).
None.
Our legal team of three barristers included two who are now KCs.
(I have redacted the Registrar's signature.)

The EHRC guidance isn't just aggressively anti-trans, it's also actively authoritarian and openly anti-LGBTQ+, attempting to break LGBTQ+ freedom of association.
Any government that does not resist it will be complicit in the most significant shift to social conservatism we've seen in decades.

Truly sickened by this
🚨The EHRC has failed trans people once again.
We’re busy reading this update and will be publishing an analysis of their legal inaccuracies tomorrow.
One thing is immediately clear: They frame guidance as law incorrectly and unlawfully.

The immensely frustrating thing here is that this opinion hinges on the immutability of sex (to tie all trans people to our "birth sex") while also acknowledging the mutability of sex to justify the exclusion of transitioned men from single-sex spaces.
Degendering for everyone!

It shouldn't have to be like this.
An entire minority shouldn't be sitting, terrified, that the UK Supreme Court is going to remove their rights off the back of a decade-long hate campaign.
