@AHFdoco Not a good week for Ed Uni. AFFS (Allumni for free speech) are taking action against Edinburgh for their EDI hiring practices: https://t.co/A5fGeK6xNt

News!

[PresumptuousInsect @DogLoverOfPI]

Walking away from a female customer who is worried about being undressed in front of men in changing rooms, and calling her "abusive" for asking about it, is not a good look @marksandspencer. I wouldn't go near that store.

[Abouterf @Abouterf197543]

Colchester @marksandspencer I asked where the women’s changing room was to try on swimwear. Manager Andrew (he/ his /him) says gender neutral changing areas are “completely safe” for women and girls. For asking him this question, he told me to leave the store. @SexMattersOrg

This. If it was about wanting somewhere safe and private to pee, third spaces would be fine. It’s not. It’s about claiming territory, validation, and winning.

Dominating, intimidating and humiliating women is the point.

Is academic freedom not negotiable?Because you have failed so many on this question including us when your members helped to twice cancel our film @EdinburghUni see you in court

[UCU @ucu]

Equality is not conditional. Dignity at work is not negotiable.

The EHRC Code of Practice has been published. UCU is examining it urgently.

This is a significant and unsettling moment and we will not leave branches to navigate it alone.

Employers' duties under equality and employment law remain in force; this does not change that.

We've written to @UniversitiesUK: universities and colleges are responsible for protecting staff and students, not putting them at risk through rushed or inconsistent decisions.

UCU will organise, defend, and fight for the rights of trans and non-binary people.

[WRN Norfolk @WRNNorfolk]

Really, @eventbrite? You smeared us as smear us all as dangerous and violent. You have not been "happy to assist" others in the UK .

You have cancelled lawful events including one about unevidenced medical treatment (@genspect ), women's rights events, screenings of the Adult Human Female documentary (@AHFdoco) , the launch of a self published book containing the narratives of men and women who found themselves ‘gender critical’ (@SVPhillimore @moleatthedoor), and @StandingforXX. You have censored and suppressed medics * psychotherpists, documentary makers, book editors and many women and some men standing up for the rights of children and women.

So MSPs are going to be compelled to deny reality

This is not being polite or respectful it is perpetuating a dangerous lie that harms women and children

If MSPs are prepared to lie about this why would we trust them on anything at all

[Naomi Cunningham @LoudBonnet]

And what drives that obedience is cowardice. Anyone who says “she” of this man is paying a contemptible, craven tribute of fear to bullies.

[WRN Scotland @WRNScotland]

This is not neutrality or respect it's compelled speech. Forcing elected representatives and by extension, the public to affirm contested beliefs about sex and gender under threat of sanction sets a dangerous precedent.

Parliament's role is to uphold free debate, not police pronouns. Biological sex is a material reality rooted in science and law not a belief system to be enforced.

This breaches the spirit of the Nolan Principles that govern standards in public life particularly objectivity acting impartially, on evidence, without bias and Integrity.

The Presiding Officer must serve the whole Parliament and the public interest not impose ideological conformity.
