GC feminist. Pro self expression and gender nonconformity. Anti men in women’s spaces and the unnecessary medicalisation of healthy bodies.

@BriannaWu How do you intend to differentiate between the transvestites and the transsexual women? How do we know which is which?

[uk_gender_atheist @ukgenderatheist]

@Hatcorn @Glinner @BBCWomansHour I’d so listen to that!

[uk_gender_atheist @ukgenderatheist]

@AlisonMoyet I wonder if there’s a parallel thread somewhere where men are bemoaning the fact they weren’t taught cooking and sewing? Oddly enough I’ve never seen one…

[uk_gender_atheist @ukgenderatheist]

@Honeypo34014809 @AlisonMoyet Yep, late 1990s I worked in a bank in the UK. Women had to wear skirts, men wore suits. We weren’t even customer facing. I was well aware of the unfairness of it at the time, but I was a temp so it wasn’t worth the risk of objecting.

Bethany said: "For more than a year, my colleagues and I have been fighting for something so simple, so basic, that it should never have required a court case: the right for women to have safe, single‑sex spaces at work.

Today, a tribunal has confirmed what we knew from the start, that what happened to us was unlawful, and that the NHS Trust failed in its duty to protect our dignity and our safety.

This case was never about ideology for us. It was about truth, biology, fairness, and the basic protections the Equality Act was designed to uphold.

We never asked for special treatment. We asked only to be able to undress for work without a man being present.

Instead, we were told to “broaden our mindset,” to “be inclusive,” and to accept that a biological male could use the women’s changing rooms simply because he said he was a woman.

When we raised safeguarding concerns, concerns no reasonable person could dismiss, we were the ones pushed aside, belittled, and forced into a makeshift “temporary” space that was unsafe and dehumanising.

The tribunal’s ruling affirms that women’s rights cannot be overwritten by internal policies or political pressure. It affirms that our concerns were legitimate, and that the trust’s treatment of us was discriminatory and unlawful.

But this judgment must also serve as a warning.

Across the NHS, there are countless women who feel they cannot speak, who fear being labelled or punished simply for wanting the privacy and safety they are entitled to.

The Government has still not published the lawful guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission. NHS leadership continues to prioritise ideological policies over the real needs of frontline staff.

Our victory today is a step forward, not just for us, but for every woman in the NHS.

We hope it gives others the courage to speak, and we urge those in authority to finally listen. Women deserve better. And we will keep standing up until they get it."

@helensaxby11 They are for men, apparently.

[uk_gender_atheist @ukgenderatheist]

@Johntheduncan That’s what he is.

[uk_gender_atheist @ukgenderatheist]

@datadriven_tdoc (Or changing rooms.)

[uk_gender_atheist @ukgenderatheist]

@datadriven_tdoc I have literally never heard an actual woman threaten to go into the men’s toilets and seduce a man in there, let alone actually do it. Only men pick up men in public toilets.

[uk_gender_atheist @ukgenderatheist]

@SamanthaTaghoy Gah! I wanted to see that too!

[uk_gender_atheist @ukgenderatheist]

@BlanchardPhD They are both the same thing. And they are both men.

[uk_gender_atheist @ukgenderatheist]

@numptypants @ianmiles @JamesEsses @wesstreeting Not at all. Lots of us read the Cass report and thought “no worries, there’s no way any ethics committee will allow that to go ahead.”

[uk_gender_atheist @ukgenderatheist]

@ncaipics @Gaynotqueer1 Thats not what intersex people are. Many of them can have children. (Though I suspect this person is probably not actually intersex.)

[uk_gender_atheist @ukgenderatheist]

@HazelAppleyard His behaviour is horrific and criminal. However this is also why women should never make themselves financially dependent on men.

[uk_gender_atheist @ukgenderatheist]

@roseveniceallan @unisontheunion @Unisonsouthwark There are two unions where I work. Bison is the one I’m not with. Unfortunately my union is also completely captured. I stay (for now) because chances are that if I ever need them it will be on a different issue. But the alternative is not being in a union at all :-/

[uk_gender_atheist @ukgenderatheist]

@JamesEsses I would eyeroll equally at anyone with their star sign in their email sig.

[uk_gender_atheist @ukgenderatheist]

@JamesEsses They are different from cutting and purging in that those are not endorsed by medical professionals.

@BriannaWu It’s not a medical condition though, is it?
