Disgraceful.

Bloke tells women’s collective bookshop what books they’re allowed to stock.

It really is a tale as old as time.

But he’s got a point, RT’s do spread awareness.

Not ‘far right’. Anyone with any taste and/or meaning of the fundamental importance of the works being ‘illustrated’ will have been shocked and disgusted.

Who thought this was a good idea? Very bad start. A non-inclusive games for women

Two men arriving with the Olympic flame. The erasure of women in all spheres of public life continues.

Disappointing. PM’s first mis-step?

Woman's Hour, March 8, 2022

Emma Barnes: And Labour’s definition of a woman?

Annaliese Dodds: Well, I have to say that there are different definitions legally around what a woman actually is. I mean you look at the definition within the Equality Act and I think it just says someone who is adult and female, I think, but then doesn’t say how you define either of those things. I mean that’s then… you’ve got the biological definition, the legal definition, all of this kind of thing.

Emma Barnes: With respect I didn’t ask for that. What’s the Labour definition?

Annaliese Dodds: Well, I think with respect Emma I think it does depend what the context is, surely. You know there are people who have decided to…that they have to make that transition. You know, I’ve spoken with many of them. It’s been a very difficult process for many of those people, and you know understandably because they live as a woman they want to be defined as a woman. That’s what the Gender Recognition Act – again a Labour process – brought into place.

Emma Barnes: Context is all, but trans women are women from your perspective?

Annaliese Dodds: But, but then when you come to the Equality Act, and you know Emma I’m not going to…

Emma Barnes: No no, you’re just Shadow Women and Equalities Minister.
