I feel it's time for this wonderful theme tune to get another airing. I will be singing it on the way to work in the morning. youtu.be/Vqbk9cDX0l0?si=3ksS…

Welcome to SEEN in the Third Sector, the Sex Equality and Equity Network for not for profit & charities' staff. We focus on the protected characteristic of sex. We're open to anyone who works in the sector who shares our aims and values.

Uni’s are marking students down for using the words “women and mothers”. In this clip from the new story, the woman behind @justsay_mother tells how changes to language in women’s health were made with no research, pushing gender neutral terms. This is why research is needed.

Big News this morning : The George Washington statue near Fenway Park in Boston has been given the Highest Honour By the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scottish Fans. Someone has got up there God knows how and placed a traffic cone □on his heed. 😅🤣😂😂. This is a proud moment for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland. 👍🏻

Disability Rights UK opposes the law of the land, specifically the Equality Act 2010. It also opposes the disabled people it purports to represent. It places a far, far greater priority on the wishes and feelings of men who say they are women than on the needs of disabled people. In all its talk of healthcare and the lamenting of gender-addled people being placed on wards relating to their sex, it does not *once* mention the necessity of single-sex intimate care for disabled women. It does not say that disabled women should be allowed to choose the sex of the person carrying out their intimate care, which most often takes place in the woman's own home, far from supervision. It sees this as a far lesser priority than men being allowed to invade female wards, where they are known to be a danger. Could there possibly be more of an indication that Disability Rights UK has *entirely* lost its way and is no longer a disability rights charity at all? The charity's statement does say one thing that initially seems to support disabled people: "We are appalled at implications from the Code that an adequate workaround is trans people using Disabled toilets instead." I fully agree. However, it goes on to explain that its concern is not about disabled people who will lose our accessible facilities altogether if anyone and everyone is permitted to use them, but for the men who will be sad if they can't invade women's spaces. Not "accessible spaces are under threat of colonisation by the able-bodied", but "we will not be used as a ‘loophole’ in the wider erosion of trans rights." That is exactly the wrong way around. Disabled people have known for a decade that the major disability charities are hopelessly captured. They're pulling a Stonewall by going after easy money and cheap non-solutions to the problems disabled people face every day. They're throwing us under the same bus Stonewall threw same-sex attracted people under. We've known this and we've tried to fight it but we haven't been heard. The gender war against disabled people is about to intensify and we don't have many allies. Can I ask you to share this, to demand answers from the major disability charities if you can and to remember that gender ideology is not just a war on women, children and same-sex attracted people, it's a war on disabled people too. And we often feel as though we're fighting it on our own. @hen10freeman @PankhurstEM @ThePosieParker @LWSNorthEast @JapanesePolar disabilityrightsuk.org/news/…

We assume FWS is one of the "billionaire-backed anti-trans groups". However, there is no evidence that Wadhwa suffered "violence & harassment" from us or anyone else. We would remind @scottishgreens that this is defamation. Wadhwa did conduct a "heresy hunt" against Roz Adams. That was proven at Tribunal.

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.

We have written to @ScotGovFM asking that any inquiry into the role of money in politics includes lobby groups funded by the Gov which campaign to promote the policies of the governing party.

Please share widely!

"An NHS investigation into the activities of WellBN – a Brighton GP surgery which prescribed cross-sex hormones to children – has found it caused “actual potential harm” to its young patients and “fell substantially below” the professional standards of care required"

I've written to my MP who signed the EDM.

Must be pretty stressful when you can't remember where you left your nuts.

Marion Calder said: “Q Manivannan should stop trying to colonise our spaces. What Q is calling for would amount to a clear breach of the law and workplace regulations. “The women who have contacted Q may not be the same women who contact us, who have been raped and assaulted by men who claim to identify as women, including ones with long hair.” thetimes.com/uk/scotland/art…

More disappointing and depressing news. A young woman had to embarrass Gloucestershire Police into responding to her reports of rape threats after her initial reports were dismissed. It's only a woman's experience, after all bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgjp…

It is sickening to hear about this story, another tale of child grooming, feeding young girls booze and drugs to make them easier to rape. Where have we heard this before? Will we ever learn? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd6e…

Marginalised identity? He’s a hugely privileged young man who has post grad degrees from two leading universities (Trinity College Dublin and St Andrews) and is now a parliamentarian in a country where he is not (yet) a permanent resident. How many working class women are hidden in the “quiet corners” with no voice?
