Female colleagues should never be expected to share changing facilities with male colleagues regardless of how they identify. It's wrong, and unlawful. But that's what happened to Sandie Peggie, a nurse working for NHS Fife. Today's Observer column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is desperate stuff. The UK has ratified the Convention of the Rights of the Child. Article 3: The 'best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration'. It is clearly not in the best interests of the child for them to be subject to medical interventions which are not evidence-based.

A few days ago, Accessorize refused to pierce @lucywebster.bsky.social’s ear unless she provided a GP note. Why? Because she’s disabled. And now she’s in the Sunday Times calling it out because it turns out, disabled women are not 5 years old - they are leaders. www.thetimes.com/uk/society/a...

‘What it reveals is that the police in this country are not just institutionally racist, but also institutionally sexist. In fact, what this story shows is institutional rape, committed by the forces of “law and order”.’ A thread on #SpyCops

I followed @womansplaceuk.bsky.social from the start and their campaign during the early years was met with aggressive hostility and silencing. Their experiences featured heavily in my doctoral research. I am proud to have been a small part of the campaign in recent years. ♥️

Heart broken but incredibly proud to be a Director & organiser with WPUK for so many years. I hope we demonstrated what grass roots organising can achieve & the importance of feminist women’s voices in policy change. Remember- If something is broke, fix it…. Next! I ♥️ Woman’s Place UK

Scottish Government KC says straight males who ID as trans without a GRC are straight but with a GRC are lesbians. Absurd. For Women Scotland KC says problem with the Scottish Government’s approach is not that they downgrade women's rights but that they ignore them. 💯 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Supreme Court is today holding a hearing to decide what a woman is - in other words, whether "sex" in the Equality Act means biological sex or whether a man who identifies as female can opt into Equality Act protections normally reserved for females.

It frustrates me that so many political types fixate on UBI, but largely ignore the urgent immiserating horror of the #DWP #sanctions regime. We should focus on giving cash to those who need it, without the absurd hoops they’re made to jump thru (35 hrs a week doing job applications, FFS!).
