Women and girls deserve to be able to live freely and equally.
The EHRC guidance helps make that possible by restoring the nation’s understanding of how single sex services and spaces should operate.
Last ditch attempt by Chief Cons to humiliate female Police officers & staff. The job of protecting the public has been left to @SexMattersOrg@WomensRightsNet@WeAreFairCop Should a custody Sgt ask your mum, daughter or sister who serves, to strip search someone like Karen White?

“I haven’t been included in the defence investment plan from the start. I only got read into it two weeks ago.”
Al Carns shares what “ruffled [his] feathers” enough to prompt him to resign as armed forces minister and says that in the event of a leadership race, “if someone fires a starting gun, I’m not scared of gunfire.”
Men who claim to be women have accommodations in society specifically for them but they don’t want them. The singular goal for these men is to go into women’s spaces.
It is the work of so many amazing Australian women to finally get “men are not women” on the front page of the newspaper, and absolutely unforgivable that it’s a fight we’ve had to have in the first place. But we’re not giving up until we have our rights back.
‘Far from a minor semantic difference, the swapping of ‘equality’ for ‘equity’ represents a significant change in approach – potentially at variance with the law’

Vital reading from @JournalistJill on a policy change that’s gone almost wholly under the radar. This is the ‘going beyond the law’ we hear so much about from activist organisations - painted as progressive, often unlawful.

And I have updated this element of the story on my website accordingly (down the bottom of the piece if you want to scroll directly to it).

I've pointed this apparent contradiction out to both WellBN and NHS Sussex.
There's certainly no public-facing statement making anything clear as per the NHS instruction.
If anything, the WellBN statement muddies the water and is potentially misleading.
NHS: WellBN "must not resume offering specialist gender care to children... and that the Practice’s public facing materials must make this clear with immediate effect"
WellBN: "there is no change to the care, treatment, or support our patients receive."

Smashing up other people’s property is illegal. Injuring a police office with a sledge hammer is illegal.
Having a political motivation for illegal acts doesn’t stop it being illegal.

Huge congratulations to our director and founder, Mary Colwell, on being awarded an MBE for services to nature.
This honour recognises years of dedication, leadership and advocacy for nature, helping to inspire countless people and shine a spotlight on the urgent need to protect Curlews.
Those who know Mary will know that, while we're all celebrating, her focus remains firmly on the birds and the work still to be done. The MBE is richly deserved, but her real reward is seeing a future for Curlews.
Mary, from everyone at Curlew Action, we are incredibly proud of you 💚

These are pro-Palestine protesters at Waterloo station, some holding a giant Palestine flag. Police officers are all standing around and watching. Told commuters there was nothing they could do.
If anti-immigration protesters pulled this stunt, would they respond the same way?
Important win for women and sex-based rights:
Employment Tribunal just ruled in LS v NHS England: Allowing trans women (biological males) into female-only facilities = indirect sex discrimination + harassment against gender-critical women.
No legal right under the Equality Act for 'trans' people to access opposite-sex spaces.
Single-sex spaces are lawful and must be protected. This precedent has now been confirmed multiple times - time for every organisation (NHS, schools, prisons, sports) to update policies and stop the confusion. #SingleSexSpaces #Safeguarding
Zack, I appreciate hardly anybody within the Green Party is prepared to stand up to you when you are clearly wrong.
The Green Party supports the right of peaceful protest and NVDA. You know what "NV" stands for right?
Premeditated destruction of property on a grand scale. Unrepentant assault against an officer of the law, taking a literal sledgehammer to the back of a police officer resulting in spinal injury & ongoing occupational health & psychological trauma, these are not acts that politicians should be condoning but condemning. Instead you are championing their violent conduct.
Please don't kid yourself, even as Leader of the Green Party, that you can act as a law unto yourself. Whether council tax liability or convictions for perpetrators of gratuitous harm, the law does apply to all citizens equally.
Your continued betrayal & transgression of Green Party core values is concerning - as is your advocacy of violent tactics.
