Non-binary is fucking bullshit, and here's why. I had prostate cancer, and you know who can get that? Men. And, if you can get prostate cancer, you can't get cervical cancer. And do you know why? Because sex is a fucking binary,that's why. Turn it in, you fucking dickheads

[Dr Ellie Chowns MP @EllieChowns]

The proposed EHRC Code of Practice is unfit for purpose and places trans people at serious risk of violence and discrimination.

It is vital that guidance protects the rights of all people to live their lives with peace, privacy, and dignity.

[Steve Walker: #NAFO #KPSS #FBPE @tweetdodger]

@unisontheunion @AndreaEganGS Lol, nope. If a workplace cannot provide legally required facilities for the dignity & safety of female staff, then it should be closed down.

I never thought I'd live to see a trade union with 70% female membership arguing that those workers should be denied their rights.

[Russ @SocialRW]

Put it in your manifesto. Put it in every campaign for every election you'll stand a candidate in. Go on, put the abolition of single-sex spaces and services, which includes healthcare and sport, in your manifesto, because that's what you're really advocating for in this video.

BETRAYAL BY MOTION: PARLIAMENT MOVES TO KILL WOMEN'S RIGHTS CODE

On 1 June 2026, 51 MPs from five parties signed a motion to block the EHRC's statutory Code of Practice on single-sex services before it can come into force.

Let's be clear about what that Code is and what it isn't.

It does not change the law. It does not remove trans people's protections under the Equality Act. Gender reassignment remains a protected characteristic. What the Code does is clarify that women's single-sex spaces actually mean single sex. That single, straightforward legal clarification is what 51 parliamentarians have mobilised to kill.

Labour supplies the largest single bloc: 24 MPs, including John McDonnell, Rebecca Long Bailey, Ian Lavery and Richard Burgon. The Liberal Democrats contribute 20. The SNP, the Greens, Your Party and Diane Abbott make up the rest.

Two MPs who signed have since withdrawn their names. The parliamentary equivalent of checking whether anyone noticed.

The primary sponsor, "Nadia Whittome", calls the Code "enforced segregation." The word deserves a response. Segregation describes the forcible exclusion of a minority from civic life, designed to humiliate and subordinate. Using that word to describe a domestic violence refuge restricted to biological females is not an argument. It is an attempt to associate women's sex-based protections with racial apartheid. It is obscene.

The Code covers far more than toilets. It covers refuges, hospital wards, changing rooms, competitive sport, clubs, support groups and the fundamental right of women to organise as women. The motion's sponsors know this. Their refusal to acknowledge it is not confusion. It is strategy.

And here is the political fact that should trouble every Labour voter: the same organisational energy that produced 51 signatures in eleven days was nowhere to be seen when the winter fuel payment was stripped from pensioners, when the NHS was running wards at collapse, when hunger was rising across the working-class heartlands.

That disproportion is not accidental. It tells you whose priorities this parliament has chosen to serve.

The 40-day window closes at the end of June. If you have not yet emailed your MP, now is the time.

The Code does not remove rights. The motion would remove clarity. Women are not a special interest. They are half the population. A party that must be reminded of that has already lost its way, and may soon lose a great deal more.

The liberal left are ideologically captured...

'The political damage this motion inflicts on Labour is not measured in votes on the order paper.

It is measured in every working-class woman who watches Labour MPs sign a motion against the legal clarity she has waited years for, and draws the obvious conclusion.'

Also, thoughts are with the ACAB lot who must be going through their hierarchy of oppression matrices to determine whether or not those coppers were Bs or not.

[Russ @SocialRW]

I have, to borrow a quote, "pure cold rage" over what happened to that lad and over many things happening in this country in recent years. It doesn't mean that I'm going to pelt the rozzers with bottles. F*rage is undeniably a bit of a dickhead, but he isn't inciting violence.

[Akua Reindorf KC @akuareindorf]

@stellacreasy But I suspect the changes you want to see are more fundamental. Perhaps to replace "sex" as a protected characteristic with "gender identity"? I would venture that that's not going to be a vote winner. It would be amongst the most regressive anti-woman legislation in history.

[Russ @SocialRW]

Come off it, @EdwardJDavey. You and the @LibDems would be only too happy to see Lions in the Lionesses team.

Wow. What an inspiration the Lionesses are.

In your next manifesto, be explicit about your support for the removal of single-sex spaces, including in healthcare and sport, because that's what your letter boils down to. See where it gets you, you absolute cretins.

[Liberal Democrats @LibDems]

The new EHRC Code of Practice is not fit for purpose. It does not provide clear guidance, it does not do enough to protect everyone from discrimination and harassment and it is not compatible with longstanding British values.

[Russ @SocialRW]

I cannot, in all good conscience, continue to pay subscriptions to a trade union that places gendershite above all else and no longer has worker’s rights as its core tenet. Alas, the current movement is no longer in unison with what the Martyrs stood for.

@ChrisWebbMP @BeaversLorraine As an officer on the APPG for boxing, do you support single-sex categories in sport? If, as your statement implies, you want to tell the panel and your constituents that you don't see a need for sex-based sporting categories and that you endorse one open category, just say so.

When the panel is specifically discussing women in politics and public life, I would argue, @BBCkatyaadler, that it's absolutely "the time for this right now", especially given that @JuliaGillard is the architect of the erasure of sex from Australia's Sexual Discrimination Act.

Former prime minister Julia Gillard has been branded a "destroyer of women’s rights" as she was confronted by a protester at a UK festival, following the recent Tickle v Giggle discrimination case.
