"It’s as if the NHS was planning a trial of lobotomies ... even worse because the test subjects are children. It seems that £10 million of public money is going to be spent on this unethical experiment." ✍️Helen Joyce on the puberty blocker trial 👇 www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

Sir Keir keeps talking about “safe” spaces instead of “single-sex” spaces. This doesn't reflect the Manifesto wording. To reassure women that they are taking their rights seriously politicians must talk about single-sex services 👇 sex-matters.org/posts/stand-...

It has been another extraordinary week of fallout from the Sandie Peggie case, which escalated as the week went on.

Stonewall used to insist that refusing to accept someone's "trans" identity — refusing to pretend to believe that they are the opposite sex from their real sex — was "transphobic". Stonewall's definition of "transphobia" has been written into countless workplace policies.

Have any mainstream civil society orgs said anything about the Supreme Court? Either backing Amnesty's intervention or anything else? The integrity of sex discrimination protections and gender reassignment discrimination protection you would think would be important?!
