You’re “pleased”? I bet you’re gutted.
Today, the High Court has refused Good Law Project permission to intervene in a legal challenge against trans inclusion at Hampstead Ponds.
We are pleased that the trans advocacy group TransLucent has been successful in its application to intervene.

Yes it is. You’ve said if you don’t try, you’ll never know if you can recover. You won’t accept that people know their limits because they know their own bodies. In fact you don’t seem to think highly of anyone with ME who isn’t focused on pushing themselves to recover

This man also spent 10 weeks in a women’s refuge in Leeds. A group of us from @LeedsReSisters brought a deputation to Leeds City Council about it, asking them to ensure women have some single sex refuge provision. They said no.
I’ve sent a link to the CPD module produced by Action for ME to the practice manager at my GP surgery, asking them to share it with their staff. I’m keeping my fingers crossed they take notice of it.
GP's who chose to remain ignorant of PEM in #ME have done immense harm to their patients over many decades
This is why education in ME must be mandatory for all Drs & HCPs & they must follow the science👇

And yet for the past five years the courts have been full of cases involving men who think they belong in women-only spaces. With the exception of Mr Roxy Tickle, every single one of these narcissistic men has lost
Why would trans people ever choose to go to a GC-run hospital? Why would any reasonable human?
Absolute twattery.

If there are a male cleaners in female-only facilities there will be a sign to alert women to this. Women can request female-only healthcare and their request will be accommodated where possible. Why are you fighting so hard to force women to accept men in our spaces?
Male cleaners access female only facilties every single day. Male doctors and nurses access female wards in hospitals. It's not remotely workable or helpful to have single sex spaces in law, which is why it won't happen.

So here is @tcanham459, another man incapable of having an adult discussion about the safety and dignity of women and girls without blocking. What a dick

Is there any reason why you’ve turned off replies? Just I’d like to ask you how you can support a party that says any man who declares he’s a woman is one, and is therefore permitted to access single sex spaces for women and girls simply on the grounds of that declaration.
I’m not a Green Party member, but I’m supporting Zack Polanski in this election.
I genuinely struggle to understand how any Muslim, in good conscience, can still support or stand as a candidate for the Labour Party.
Vote for @ZackPolanski

Petition: Create Multidisciplinary NHS services for hEDS and associated conditions.
We want the Government to establish national care pathways for people with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and associated conditions

Any employer whose members are in Unison and who abides by the law will be “held to account”? Are you insane?
Today I met with our trans, non-binary and gender diverse members.
So many members have written to us explaining that the updated EHRC guidance is unworkable.
I will work with our trans non-binary and gender diverse members to change the law for legal gender recognition.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
UK SC unanimously ruled on 16.04.2025 that “sex” “woman” and “man” in the Equality Act 2010 mean biological sex. Trans identified people have not lost rights, they remain protected separately by the Act's gender reassignment provisions and other discrimination protections.

And as expected, you’ve turned off replies.
I'm devastated for the family and friends of Jason Arday.
He faced an unacceptable public hounding and campaign of abuse. I know many Londoners will be angry and upset this evening.
Jason Arday was the victim of a pernicious public shaming that other people in his position simply wouldn’t have faced.
His death was a tragedy, but once again it should be a wake up call for all of us.

Microsoft want to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. There's still time to stop the final council sign-off. Please add your name: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio… via @38degrees

“Confused older lesbian women”? Yes, I’m sure she knows now what you’re really like
I think it's just that confused older lesbian women whose understanding of trans people comes entirely from the internet really have no idea what we are like in real life, or what HRT can do. There was also a trans guy at our table and she didn't clock him either.

You’re not interested in debate. You’ve turned off replies.
I've joined more than 120 colleagues in signing this EDM to reject the EHRC Code of Practice.
Trans people deserve love and equality. I’m worried these new rules won't achieve that.
We need a proper debate in Parliament on them, and what they mean for our trans constituents.
