Our draft Code of Practice helps providers of services, public functions and associations apply the Equality Act 2010. It doesn't apply to workplaces; employers should consult the Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regs 1992, the Equality Act, and seek independent legal advice.
@owenjonesjourno That's exactly what you say when you want to deny women the opportunity to defend women's rights. It is gaslighting, and, frankly, stupid.
Polite notice to those urging me to show blind tribal allegiance to a party that's screwed over female nurses who want to change in a female-only space, female prisoners housed with male sex offenders and female rape survivors who want an all-female support service: nope.
We are in deep, deep trouble.
A reader wrote in to me this week saying that they wouldn't read my Trump corruption story because ChatGPT "fact-checked the piece" and informed them most of it was false.
Among other things, ChatGPT told them that there is no Iran war, Jared Kushner is not a negotiator in the war, Qatar never offered Trump a $400 million plane, George Santos wasn't pardoned, the NYTimes did not report on Syrian billionaires lobbying Trump for sanctions relief, Trump never launched a meme coin, and World Liberty Financial (the Trump family crypto firm) doesn't exist.
Of course, all of these things ARE real, do exist, and are happening right now. Apparently, the reader copy and pasted the text of my story into ChatGPT, and without the links ChatGPT couldn't confirm any of it. Once the reader sent ChatGPT the link to the story, it ended up concluding all the facts were correct.
How many people simply don't know how to use AI and are offloading all their thinking? It's a terrifying thought. And a totally new frontier of reality to navigate.
@GussieGrips I'd like to see proper documentation of trans people receiving poorer healthcare than the general population. What i find is self-reporting. It's the same self-reporting that says they're the sex they're not. And what is seen as appropriate care is founded on ideology not health
The BMA’s long awaited critique of the Cass review has largely vindicated the findings of the original landmark review into gender identity services for young people

@simon_schama It's also funny how even though the Israeli state and many zionists, Jewish or not, constantly conflate the state Israel and the Jewish people it is expected that no one who is critical of Israel NEVER make that same mistake.
A female netball team has forfeited a game over a male opposition player who claims to be "non-binary", amid growing anger over men being allowed to play in women's leagues in Victoria.

Nigel Farage has committed prosecutable election offences with this video under the Representation of the People Act 1983.
The Act prohibits inducing voters through the threat of “temporal injury”, which includes material disadvantage such as the targeted imposition of government burdens.
Threatening to specifically house illegal migrants in a constituency if it does not vote Reform is coercive and constitutes a criminal offence.
@Ninoinoz1@genevieve_holl Your comment is evident of your low intelligence. The patient is the one that ends the life. Other people involved are only required to provide their professional expertise. Thicko!
When you stop and think about it, assisted dying's a bit like salted caramel ice cream or shuffle dancing, because they're choices, too. Or Lynx Africa body spray - use it, don't use it, nobody else's business.
Our first article analysing how the Scottish Prison Service had come to place some men in women’s prisons, based on self-declared gender identity, and criticising a lack of concern for the impact on women in prison, and women staff, was published in 2019. https://t.co/oJvL0EHifd
@MICHAELWELBECK@rowingdonna If I identified as a female at parkrun, my parkrun PB would break almost every course record in the UK, and go from 81.60% to 93.38% age graded, a world class score.
Yet I am not even the fastest male in my local area. People who defend men in women’s sports are frankly idiots.
The Scottish government is responsible for this sexual assault. The Supreme Court has confirmed women’s right to single sex spaces, a ruling the SNP continues to flout. If the victim wishes to sue, https://t.co/iyohnrgVZN can assist with all costs.
