Remarkable article by a Commissioner of the Scottish Human Rights Commission (albeit written in a personal capacity):

It is... not good... that sharing an article published in The Economist is flagged by moderation as "intolerance".

Guardian and Observer journalists have asked people not to share Guardian stories for 48 hours from midnight tonight (Tues), to respect their strike and the virtual picket line

The CA has given permission to appeal in Barton Turns v Treadwell, the HHJ Martyn Barklem judgment which ignored Wicked Vision & followed the orthodox position on Osipov. It's been consolidated with Wicked Vision for hearing next October to allow the CA to bring back clarity (1 way or another)

I lost this ring in the toilets in Bounce in Farringdon tonight. It’s hardly worth anything, but it’s a ring my dad gave my mum and it’s priceless to me now that he’s not here. It’s gold, with a diagonal band of green stones on it. If you find it can you please get it back to me

I've done a quick round-up of pre-reading for anyone interested in following FWS v Scottish Ministers next week: www.legalfeminist.org.uk/2024/11/23/f...

I haven't been able to find any substantial commentary arguing that SG should win. Please link in reply if you know of any, and I'll add it.

Utterly absurd, and wrong, that this post is marked by @bsky.app as "intolerance". In reality it consists of links to serious legal analysis, from someone whose opinion you might agree or disagree with.

After the FW outer house decision I had a conversation with @naomicunningham.bsky.social where she suggested the interpretation now essentially that argued by Sex Matters. At that point she was I think a lone voice. But review of the issues of interpretation makes her argument more & more compelling

The Scottish Government has now published its submission, which can be accessed here. www.gov.scot/publications...

This gives me far too much credit. It was Maya Forstater who first persuaded me that there had to be a respectable argument that the GRA didn't stick its spanner into the works of the EqA; and @michaelpforan.bsky.social who did the detailed doctrinal work of putting that argument together.

He gets more than his fair share of abuse, we disagree often, but this piece by @michaelpforan.bsky.social is the best lawyering that I have read this week, in any field.

It is detailed, but changed my view on "What is a Woman" in law

There’s no verification on this site, so it’s hard to be sure what you’re looking at.

The Kemi Badenoch account on here is fake, her team tell me

Followed the crowd here 🐑 I like it so far. I’m making a legal challenge to the Sussex rape crisis centre to try and secure single sex rape crisis therapy for women unherd.com/2022/07/why-...

Many of the claims made for this place are doubtless justified. But note how @naomicunningham.bsky.social ‘s posts are labelled ‘intolerant’. You won’t see them in full unless you click on them. When you do, you discover a statement of fact. Something to bear in mind, I think.

And a lovely interview of one of employment law’s great clear thinkers and social media’s great explainers of discrimination law @audreysuffolk.bsky.social
