FWS Equality Monitoring

Monitoring the protected characteristic of sex in policy documents throughout Scotland.

[FWS Equality Monitoring @Equality_FWS]

We are gathering data of Scottish organisations who misrepresent/misinterpret the Equality Act e.g. listing Gender/Gender Identity as a protected characteristic instead of Sex. Please contact us with any forms/policy docs that are a concern.

Today's slow clap is for The Cube cafe in Croydon @JohnWhitgiftFdn - they've added a handy unisex sticker to the ladies loos, but the mens is still for, well, the menz. @FairfieldHalls tell us, pray, why men's privacy and dignity matters, but not women's? dying to hear it...

I always love to share this quote.

Scream, even when you’re called Karen’s, dinosaurs, bigots and more, because we have a generation of girls coming behind us who need us to.

"Cheryl Hole", geddit? There's no demographic other than women that the state broadcaster - which everyone who has a TV must pay for, by law - would be so willing to insult and demean.

Images of young women with mastectomy scars are becoming ubiquitous. @CostaCoffee says it's to celebrate "diversity" and to encourage young women to feel "free and unashamedly proud to be themselves."

@ForWomenScot @RobbieTravers @JamesEsses @CostaCoffee Hey @CostaCoffee, your latte has always been my fave. But I won't ever go into Costa Coffee now. I had my first mastectomy when I was 36, my second at 37. Because I had cancer. You are being hugely insensitive to women with this "celebratory" image of elective self-mutilation.

[James Esses @JamesEsses]

Dear @CostaCoffee,

Could you kindly explain why you are glorifying irreversible surgery performed on healthy breasts of women for a mental health condition?

Strong words from a group of 54 peers who’ve written to Channel 4 to complain about lack of balance in its news coverage of what’s happening at the @EHRC.

Maybe women in the bathroom don’t look at you twice because they are afraid of you. Everyone knows you’re a man.

This dude looked to be in charge of the anti-fa agitators at Speakers Corner, including leading the mob in aggressive chants. These are the type of men in the driving seat at the protest when women try to meet. His hate was palpable, videos incoming. Does anybody know who he is?

Why are @metpoliceuk not pushing them back? They’re chanting death threats to women trying to meet and talk. @MayorofLondon this is happening on your streets - why should women have to put up with this harassment? Will a woman have to be seriously harmed or worse before you act?

[Magi Gibson @MagiGibson]

At 70 a woman's skin is more fragile - a punch will do even more damage. Her bone density is much reduced - a punch is even more dangerous.

Older women are the elders of society, with life experience and wisdom. They should be safe in the public space. #NewZealandShame

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

Please @TimesRadio stop falling into the lazy characterisation of opposition to #GRRBill as being anti-progressive. There is nothing progressive about giving any man the right to self ID as a woman with minimal safeguards. In fact it rolls back #WomensRights

[Rita Panahi @RitaPanahi]

No.
