iosphere.beehiiv.com/p/1-a-very-b... @iododds.bsky.social asks about the elephant in the room: Does the EHRC and chair Kishwer Falkner really expect us to believe that 15 years ago the United Kingdom passed an anti discrimination law that was actually a comprehensive bathroom ban?

“Our lives are this queasy clash of realities: the normalcy of our every day vs the waking nightmare of staring, powerless, as media, public bodies, governments and the courts succumb, over eight creeping years, to the manipulation of anti-trans ideologues and the moral panic they put in motion.” 👏🏻😣

🏳️‍⚧️ FAQs 🏳️‍⚧️ Based on legal advice from a team of equalities lawyers, including a KC, we answer some of the pressing questions raised by the Supreme Court. The law is uncertain – but it’s almost certainly been misstated by the EHRC and ministers. goodlaw.social/bf2d17

The EHRC are really going to try and rush this through Remember when they forced us to have 3 whole consultations on the GRA Reform because the result kept supporting reforming it? We are going to have to be so intense about this. Completely flooding it and also fighting against them rushing it

This reads like more evidence that the interim EHRC guidance was drawn up by Kishwer Falkner and cronies, without input from neutral expert staffers. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

🧵 The recent miscarriage of justice in the UK Supreme Court, where it created a class of people with fewer human rights than others, has led to two key developments. It has created an intersectional backlash against systemic transphobia in the political class, as well as embolden transphobes. [1]

I’ll tell you what I see when I look at the #RainbowMap 2025, which was published this morning, an absolute failure of government. The UK once stood proudly at the top of Europe on LGBTI legal equality. Now we’ve slipped into the yellow. Well done to all the countries continuing to make progress.

Not a trans person. Not a drag queen. This is a cis woman and member of the church! Does this mean we should be restricting the access by cis women and self-identified Christians to children???

New essay! In the wake of the Supreme Court judgement, I reflect on woke ideology, standards of evidence, rampant lesbianism, and why the transphobes cannot possibly ever win.

Just had a rueful only-half-in-jest comment from someone in Labour that Reform MPs have more influence over Number 10 (and are taken more seriously) than Labour backbenchers. Definitely a nasty mood out there (and Morgan McSweeney is the lightning rod for it).

Conversion practices are cruel, abusive, and have no place in a modern Scotland. The Scottish Govenrment promised action all the way back in 2021, but have only given us excuses. This puts LGBT+ people at continued risk of long-lasting harm. The decision must be reversed.

The person in charge of 'story-telling' at Labour works out of Policy Exchange, a Tufton Street outlet whose anti-trans stance is so extreme even the Sunday Times is embarrassed to carry it. The Right's takeover of Labour is complete. politicshomecom.cmail20.com/t/t-e-gpyhdt...

If you open the anti-trans HHS report’s appendix in NotePad, you’ll see that it was compiled by Alex Byrne. The appendix is a rigorous, scientific overview of systematic reviews. Alex Byrne is an MIT philosophy professor with no apparent background in science, let alone expertise in it.

Absolutely insane. Uneblieveable. "Sex Matters", one of the hate groups responsible for removing trans people's rights via the Supreme Court are arguing that trans people shouldn't be allowed to transition because they don't have rights and not having rights is bad. Fucking hell

Shabana Mahmood, herself a vigorous opponent of the rights and dignities of trans people, says they are not even supposed to question why the Supreme Court locked them out of proceedings about their lives. It's a proper, ugly, scandal.

Today I've written to Bridget Phillipson to ask for clarity on how the government will ensure trans people's rights in the wake of the recent Supreme Court ruling and EHRC guidance. At a moment of extreme worry and distress for the trans community, govt must step up and give assurances.

Remember: Cass is not peer-reviewed - and is therefore not “gold”, silver, bronze or even recycled plastic standard. IMO it’s just pseudoscience. There are now at least five damming, peer-reviewed critiques of Cass; all automatically of a higher standard, with at least two more in peer-review.
