This @barrydistrict story is an embarrassment to journalism.

Readers are told a "woman" masturbated in front of nurses. They are then told the prosecutor said:

"The defendant put her hands down her leggings to the groin area. Staff could see that she had her penis in her hand and that her hand was moving up and down."

"Her penis."

To be fair to the reporter, he is accurately reporting what was said in court.

But that means the pronouns change from female to male halfway through the story.

And journalism is supposed to help readers understand what happened by reporting material facts clearly and accurately.

Not require them to perform mental gymnastics in order to make sense of the story.

This kind of reporting is confusing, absurd and frankly beneath the standards journalism should aspire to.

And it shows exactly what happens when gender ideology is allowed to dictate public life - including the legal system and the media.

No one wants to harm Parkrun @parkrunUK it is a fabulous event. I’m spent my life trying to get people more active. That will carry on. My point is a simply one of fairness & equality. 28 women’s records are held by men, over 200 1st places in the women’s category have gone to men. More every weekend. It’s demoralising for those women wanting those places & records. This only goes one way. Women just want their own course records & places based on the reality of biological sex, which matters in physical activity. There are ways that extra categories can be added. So records & places remain, which is what the vast majority want to happen, which proves there is a competitive element to Parkrun as it stands. Hence a 30k petition to bring them back. Everyone runs together dresses as makes them happy. Non of that changes but simply enable a fair female category for females please?

Tribunal ruling "There is no express legal right for a transgender person to use the single-sex facilities of the gender with which they identify; either under the EqA or the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992"

Nadia should stop wasting parliamentary time.
The code elaborates the law.
It cannot change it.
To remove well- established equality & sex discrimination legislation, she must change the law.
And, find a different political party.
@UKLabour supports equality legislation.

When they say ‘LGBT+’ they only mean the T+

BINGO

[Colin Wynter KC @QcWynter]

This foolish man implicitly suggests that because of the EHRC Code of Practice trans-claiming people will not be able "to live freely and safely".
The very least he must do is explain how and why trans-claiming people will neither be "free" nor "safe".
That or drop the hyperbole.

[Duncan Bannatyne @DuncanBannatyne]

If I don’t put biological then the trans women will say “I am a woman so he means me”. We need to distinguish between real women and them.

[Akua Reindorf KC @akuareindorf]

Employers should have withdrawn “inclusive” policies in Feb 2022 at the latest, when it was confirmed in @ForWomenScot’s 1st case that self ID isn’t the law

It’s not rocket science. Men’s, women’s and a mixed sex space if practicable

Maybe read this ⤵️

@NadiaWhittomeMP Who is going to stand up for the biological women & children that want to get dressed without being in the presence of people with penises staring at them?

[For Women Scotland @ForWomenScot]

A number of male MPs who signed the EDM are pretending to care about MVAW when they can weaponise it to score points over rivals.

Yet they would deny these women the safety of women-only spaces & services, including rape crisis centres & medical examiners.

Your motion is a disgusting support for perverts

@DannyBeales If you're going to oppose delivery of our manifesto pledges, you really shouldn't have put yourself forward as a Labour candidate.

[Sarah Phillimore @SVPhillimore]

@DannyBeales But it’s irrelevant. The law will remain. If you think the law is wrong - what are you going to do to change it? You will need to be explicit that you do not think women have a right to single sex female spaces.

[Sall Grover @salltweets]

It is the work of so many amazing Australian women to finally get “men are not women” on the front page of the newspaper, and absolutely unforgivable that it’s a fight we’ve had to have in the first place. But we’re not giving up until we have our rights back.

[For Women Scotland @ForWomenScot]

Marion Calder said: “Q Manivannan should stop trying to colonise our spaces. What Q is calling for would amount to a clear breach of the law and workplace regulations.
“The women who have contacted Q may not be the same women who contact us, who have been raped and assaulted by men who claim to identify as women, including ones with long hair.”

.@TheGreenParty would destroy female-only spaces, sports and services. Even saying 'females have xx chromosomes' is forbidden.
All female Green MPs are TQ+ lovers, and I have no doubt that Sarah is too.
I am taking the party to court where their rank misogyny will be sliced open.

Recently elected male MSP argues that he and any other men who fancy denying women safety, privacy and dignity should break the law.

[Audrey Ludwig MBE @AudreySuffolk]

The conclusion I draw from the Early Day Motion that more than 130 MPs are entirely relaxed at the prospect of continued unlawful sex discrimination seen in recent judgments like the Darlington Nurses and LS v NHSE. As an experienced equality lawyer that sadden me greatly
