Confirmed: male criminals who say they are trans are still held in women’s prisons.

And why is a minister using language like “assigned male at birth”?

Trans ideology still rules in the Ministry of Justice. 🧵

[Helen Joyce @HJoyceGender]

This is disgraceful. If only the HEFSA complaints scheme was up and running - Michael would have a strong complaint here. But sadly Bridget Phillipson postponed it just a few days before it was due to come into force.

[StephanieDavies-Arai BEM @cwknews]

Beyond disgraceful. How long are we prepared to let this bullying go on?

[Akua Reindorf KC @akuareindorf]

@Rhammified @ForWomenScot @DavidWootton69 @Scott_Wortley Bottom line: the Code was never going to depart from what the judgment said. It is simply not possible. The Code is guidance to the law. The judgment is the law until such time as parliament changes the legislation.

[StephanieDavies-Arai BEM @cwknews]

Heartbreaking interview with Emma Webber, Barnaby's mum. The full extent of failures that led to her son's murder, and the appalling behaviour of some people afterwards, are difficult to comprehend. What a contrast to this woman's courage and dignity.

A reminder that no woman who values her hard-won rights to single-sex spaces, services and sports should vote LibDem. I say this as someone who was once a party member and voted LibDem for decades until they completely turned their backs on women.

[Jenny Smith @GoodyActually]

@swklibdems @VMMChamberlain Voting down the guidance will not change the law; it will simply remove the best tool that organisations have for obeying the law.

Why do you object to a clear statement of the law?

[Women of Surrey @WomenofSurrey]

Ladies, Kingston Council want to make it easier for us to meet our domestic responsibilities as well as staying ‘looking nice’ on a bike.
From an EQA on the procurement of e-bikes. 🤡
Thankfully, a local resident challenged it and it has now been removed.

.@TheGreenParty cannot distinguish the EHRC from the ECHR.
I guess it should not be a surprise. They can't distinguish men from women.

[Jane Waring @CreeAnt]

So trans identified men refuse to be ‘outed’ by using third spaces or the men’s toilets, but menstruating girls can go to a special period toilet? Who sits in the meetings where this kind of misogyny goes unnoticed and ideas like this are rubber stamped?

[Helen Saxby @helensaxby11]

@JournalismSEEN Girls in this story become 'children', presumably to hide the sex of those threatened. Only last week girls were being called 'young women', presumably to minimise the crimes of male rapists. The problem with female victims, as always, is that they make men look bad 🙄

[Emma Bateman @EmmaBatemanGPW]

.@EllieChowns You say the EHRC guidance is unfit for purpose. Perhaps you should come to the @GreenPartyWomen webinar with @akuareindorf KC on Thursday 9 July at 19.00 if you are confused about the ruling.
It is sad that you and @TheGreenParty seem determined to flout the law.

[Women Won’t Wheesht @WWWheesht]

We have sent an FOI request to all 32 local authorities in Scotland to request details of their school toilet provisions to ensure they are all compliant with their legal obligations.

We'll keep you informed.

[Akua Reindorf KC @akuareindorf]

This is a confusing letter @sianberry.

I have some questions:

1. You’re asking for legislative action in response to a non-legislative Code. Assuming it’s the Equality Act you want to change, does it follow that you accept that the Code accurately reflects the Act as it is?

[teresa smith @treesey]

This is topical

Para 21

‘…the answer to the Council’s submissions is that guidance is not law.
The Council has its own duties and powers conferred on it by legislation. The Council is
obliged to obey the law, not guidance if that deviates from the requirements of the law.’

[Susan 🌻 @Scottish_Women]

“The Council is obliged to obey the law, not guidance if that deviates from the requirements of the law”

West Lothian Council School toilets court findings published

[Michael Foran @michaelpforan]

The Scottish Court of Session has just ruled that providing multi-user unisex toilets in a primary school amounted to indirect sex discrimination against female pupils.

[Fiona @DerryBanShee]

The @BBCNews cover-up is worse than I thought. This was a man who identifies as a woman threatening violence against girls specifically for denying he was a woman.
This is not new. But it should be news.

[SEEN in Journalism @JournalismSEEN]

Again we stress: activists had no problem with the number of ‘trans’ stories until they switched from ‘lived experience’ to proper journalism.

[Sheila @JenWainwright3]

@AudreySuffolk The Lib Dems are currently leading this embarrassing list.

36 out of 72 Lib Dem MPs have now signed it, with a further 2 who signed it and later withdrew their signatures.
