Melon Cauliflower

Life is but a melancholy flower.

This has been quite a journey of self discovery but I'm so glad I made it! I have much more clarity on my identity now and am very grateful to all those that helped.

Campaigning to ensure legal rights in law for all humans, except those pesky ones who make up over 51% of the population, obvs...

[Sonia Sodha @soniasodha]

Shameful. This is what happens when the NHS prioritises the demands of men who identify as female to be on a women-only ward over the safety of vulnerable women. Shocking this is still going on post Supreme Court judgment in FWS.

[Akua Reindorf KC @akuareindorf]

By a painfully slow process of realisation, @unisontheunion have understood that if they want gender self-ID they'll need to change the Equality Act

Now we wait to find out how they think they can do it without obliterating women's & LGB rights

Pro tip: don't hold your breath

Yesterday these legends went to an event about their own legal battle: a case they won & wrote about in a book. OTHER people were invited to talk about the case, not the @ForWomenScot women directly involved. I hope they sat in the front row.

And I hope @edbookfest are ashamed.

On @BBCr4today @JustinOnWeb makes the point that if it was a racial group being discriminated against by the Taliban there would be more outrage, but because it's "only" women it's accepted, including welcoming the men's national cricket team. (SA were banned during apartheid)

[Sall Grover @salltweets]

“…I would rather have my daughter come in 2nd, 3rd or 8th than traumatize those kids…”

This is actually the crux of gender ideology: it’s better for women & girls to accept defeat than it is to tell a man or boy that he is lying.

[For Women Scotland @ForWomenScot]

���We felt it was important the guidance was quashed so that fresh policies start from first principles and take into account the full implication of this ruling as well as that of the Supreme Court. We are pleased that there is no chance that the old guidance can sneak back in any guise.”

Thoughts from @KishwerFalkner and me on the @EHRC Code of Practice coming in to force today, and our tribute to the women & grassroots groups who are going to have to keep on holding the flame (because nobody else looks likely to do it)

Two-tier justice is alive and well in policing. A male officer who called a rape victim a “slut” and followed a female colleague home kept his job. On Friday, a hardworking female DC was sacked after what looks very much like a witch hunt over her feminist views. https://t.co/sUpmV7zVKZ

[Maya Forstater @MForstater]

Good news for Sandie Peggie (and a good decision by James Tayler HHJ) - the case is going forward to employment appeal tribunal on 13 grounds. ✊

[Jo Bartosch @jo_bartosch]

Really sorry to see that Rachel Fletcher DC, who spent her career investigating male violence, has lost her job because she upset some sensitive colleagues with hurty words about men’s propensity for violence. Utterly disgraceful & I hope, if she can & if there’s a round 2, she destroys the bastards.

[Sonia Sodha @soniasodha]

Unions continue to fail women, and to fail to defend women's rights when they come at the expense of male desires. Nothing new here. Absolutely shameful.

"My first husband stripped me naked and threw me and my daughters out of the house. Neighbours wrapped me in a quilt and my parents took us away. As I hold this gold medal in Glasgow, my message to every woman in India is to fight back against abuse."

This is what got us into this mess. Basing your opinions on who else holds that opinion is no way of deciding what’s good or bad.

Donald Trump’s favourite song is Tiny Dancer. And we all just have to live with that.

"Secretive NHS Fife in hot water again as it's ordered to publish trans guidance written by Isla Bumba

Health board became infamous last year during Sandie Peggie employment tribunal and has once again been rebuked by Scottish Information Commissioner"

[Sex Matters @SexMattersOrg]

We have accepted Amnesty's offer to meet "in September or October".

In the meantime we hope they will be clear about their position. The issue is not just one withdrawn report but a track record of getting the law wrong and painting thse who express gender critical beliefs as "transphobes" who have "no place in society".

[Average Undertaker Enjoyer @itsmerfornothin]

?

You’re saying girls shouldn’t care about the ‘thrill’ of winning when you’re still riding the high of winning a race when you were 10 years old?

[Helen Joyce @HJoyceGender]

This is the Scarlet Letter of our time.

[Colin Wynter KC @QcWynter]

NHS Fife very clearly does not wish the public to see its "trans guidance", which strongly suggests that it will be a doozer in one way or another.
I look forward to seeing it and have electronically pencilled the date in my diary.
Should be good.
Good work by "Simon".

[Lola @thefempire50]

Schrodinger��s sport. It’s simultaneously so important that TW will die if they can’t compete on the female team but also fairness is completely irrelevant when girls ask for it.
