Hello all. A quick update from me. My sex screen assay is progressing well. I promised rapid: I can detect SRY from a cheek swab in about 30 minutes. I am currently testing whether I can drop it to 10 minutes without compromising reliability. I promised cheap: The current cost per assay is about £2. I am currently testing whether I can drop this to below the pound line, and it’s very promising. I promised accessible: The assay could be run by any grassroots sports coach, school nurse, and my Mum. I promised on-site: This is where my lab efforts are currently focussed. I’ve always held “from the UK to Uganda” as a principle, and ensuring easy deployment is crucial. I’m currently learning a lot of materials science… The other main push is setting up various blinded, larger-scale tests. This will require lots of form filling. If anyone wants to help me hit my final budget target, my crowdfunder is here.

Devastating detail on the maternity 'care' provided to Nottingham families here. A midwife reported to have advised colleagues to tell women, who were worried they were in labour, to go home with the advice: "Don't be too kind, she'll keep coming back", bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c152…

Writer and cultural commentator @G_S_Bhogal Gurwinder Bhogal defines Neotoddlerism: “Instead of trying to forge good arguments and trying to convince people with rhetoric, or trying to create good protest movements…what people are doing instead is they're doing stunts.”

Absolutely nobody wants mixed changing rooms but transvestites and predators

Oh and PS don't you dare lecture me on what happens to butch women. Just don't even try it. I genuinely can't believe how many transactivists try this with me. It's like you haven't got eyes.

It's interesting to me to hear @lenadunham and @MonicaLewinsky discuss the TERFs. It's rare for anyone on the left with a large platform to acknowledge our existence. @lenadunham and @MonicaLewinsky, if you'd like to explore what we're about, feel free to check out my Substack, "The TERF Report": karadansky.substack.com/ Feel free to reach out any time if you'd like to chat.

"It is guidance, its not the law, it's not a set of rules. It's guidance to what the law is. And the law is in the statute, that's the Equality Act 2010 and to a certain extent the GRA in any regulations made under them and in any judgements of the court" @akuareindorf UK Equality and Human Rights Commission's draft updated Code of Practice for services, public functions and associations.

🧵 New statutory RSHE guidance issued by @educationuk comes into force for all schools from Sept 2026. This includes a requirement on schools to consult with parents on new policies. A template policy from @thekeysl is being used to flout the DfE guidance... 1/n

Discover sharp, insightful responses to the manufactured lies promoted by the snake oil peddlers. The fabricated consensus they created. Mia debunks the activist slogans (myths) pushed at children, families and young people by the pushers of trans identity ideology. How they coerced parents to "trust the experts, trust the protocol is evidence based. Unwittingly endorsing an experiment on healthy kids that lacked any credible scientific support.” And who are the masterminds behind this mirage? Were they “the leaders who looked the other way as innocent youth fell victim to one of the greatest medical crimes in history?” Watch @_CryMiaRiver @May_Day_Canada and find out

Ministers didn’t look at “costs”and “complexity” when removing spaces from women, nor did they spout “compassion”. Im afraid I find these kind of nonsensical replies really raises my hackles.

NEW: Updated EHRC code to be published in May @bphillipsonMP has made a statement saying that she intends to lay the updated draft of the @EHRC’s code of  practice before Parliament “as soon as practicable” after the local and devolved administration elections. Then after 40 days, if neither house passes a resolution disapproving the draft, it will come into force. The EHRC has admitted that it amended the guidance after the government provided it with “a narrow set of comments” on its previous draft. Neither the minister nor the independent regulator is mandated to engage in this sort of delay and negotiation whereby the independent regulator edits its guidance to meet the preferences of the government. Section 14(7) of the Equality Act 2006 says that before issuing a code the EHRC shall submit a draft to the Secretary of State, who shall either approve the draft and lay a copy before Parliament or give the EHRC written reasons why she does not approve it. The legal framework does not envisage this as a back-and-forth process of backroom negotiations between the government and the EHRC. It is concerning that in her statement the Minister for Women and Equalities continues to focus on specialist service providers such as hospitals and women’s refuges and has still not made clear that ALL employers and service providers that offer single-sex or separate-sex facilities do so under the Equality Act, which recognises that men who have the protected characteristic of gender reassignment remain men, and do not have the right to access facilities provided for women and girls. Delaying laying the guidance till after local council and devolved administration elections is more unjustified procrastination. The government has patted itself on the back, saying: “We are getting it right, showing leadership by implementing the clarity the Supreme Court ruling delivers.” Yet government departments up and down the country are still operating with unlawful policies that the previous head of the civil service refused to withdraw.
