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.

February: Unison campaigns against scrapping equality laws that would “fire a starting gun on a race to the bottom”
May: Unison campaigns to scrap equality laws.
@Kat_Says_Stuff@BriannaWu@PompeySteph@EHRC That's not true. She is a former commissioner of the EHRC. The Chair of the Commission was previously Kishwer Falkner and is now Mary-Ann Stephenson.
To make sense of this, given how at odds it is with women's experience of the world, you need to understand that "high" stands for "important" and "low" for "unimportant"
@MinnOrchia@kittysull1 9 times out of 10 there will be. Either the organisation/service provider will be large and will have provided plenty of options, including gender-neutral options, or else it will be small and will have a couple of self-contained, floor-to-ceiling cubicles that anyone can use
@stellacreasy It's the law, Stella.
The "work on the concept of proportionality" has already been done, at very great length and by many dedicated public servants and highly specialised lawyers. If you don't understand it that's OK, but uninformed fearmongering will not help trans people.
Just amazing that the conclusion Owen draws from this is "women shouldn't have their own spaces" rather than "men should do something about their own behaviour"
I think it's genuinely sad that a once-mighty human rights organisation like Amnesty International - an unalloyed force for good - has beclowned itself by producing something as cranky as this. Just another proof point that there's nothing more stultifying than gender ideology.
You have to sort of admire Keir Starmer for telling the whole cabinet to basically go fuck themselves and then pissing off for the afternoon to an Owl Sanctuary.
The only way he tops this is to post trolling selfies with the Owls all afternoon
Please can we not make this just about marches.
It has to be about so much more than that.
And can we not talk just about our politicians. Britain’s Jews don’t want to be a political football. We want actual action.
That means looking at:
- hate preachers in mosques
- antisemitism not being prosecuted by the CPS
- antisemitism in our political parties
- a huge swathe of the left not only ignoring antisemitism but actively encouraging it
- antisemitism being allowed to run rampant in the NEU, in our universities, and our NHS
- foreign bodies hostile to Jews and the West including the Muslim Brotherhood and the IRGC being allowed to run rampant - even collect money for their charities - while other countries proscribe them
- conspiracy theories about Jews being pushed across social media, content creators being encouraged to post it as it makes money
- and yes hate speech such as ‘globalise the intifada’ - stop the gaslighting that this is a peaceful cry
- a lack of education about antisemitism with many people thinking it began and ended with the Holocaust, and a total lack of education about antizionism.
Action has to mean actual action.
Ultimately calling experts sticking up for vulnerable people “zealots” is reflective of the horribly bad-faith campaign advocates ran for a dangerous bill that posed intolerable risks to vulnerable people. It’s utterly graceless.
