I would love someone to explain why silently and unwillingly removing your clothes in front of men who demand it, is an act of “compassion”. How is it not humiliation and degradation? How is “be kind” and “compassion” in this example not coercion?

It is difficult to think of a worse case of a lack of disclosure - it goes to the worst examples of abuse of process. The main suggestion that progress could be made today with initial disclosure doesn’t take us far,

Well well

As always the assumption the only person who matters is….. yup

TO - going through docs, can I just show the parliamentary q&a. Q on 10 Jan from Lord Lucas, asking if it is policy for officers male at birth to strip search women. Reply was PACE is clear, ss must be conducted by same sex officer. J - that's about officers

We are at the Royal Courts of Justice hearing this case. It is all about s.54(9) of PACE which requires that strip searches are done by and officer of the same sex, and whether it is lawful for police forces to go outside of PACE and come up a "consensual search" regime which allows police forces to offer that female police officers will search male detainees who say the magic words.

A reminder that @tribunaltweets are following the Sex Matters judicial review into the British Transport Police's strip-search policy, which should start around now.

BREAKING: Health secretary @jamesmurray_ldn has refused to honour a meeting with the Darlington nurses Bethany Hutchison, President of the Darlington Nursing Union, said: “We were encouraged when @wesstreeting recognised the seriousness of our case and indicated a willingness to meet. That commitment now appears to have been set aside. This issue is not theoretical, it affects frontline staff every day. We are simply asking for clarity, for the law to be applied properly, and for our dignity and safety to be respected. We urge the current Health Secretary to honour his predecessor’s commitment, meet with us, and ensure that what happened in Darlington is never repeated elsewhere in the NHS.” Andrea Williams, Chief Executive of the Christian Legal Centre, said: “At a time when clarity and confidence are needed, the continued failure to ensure compliance with the law on sex and single-sex spaces across the NHS is deeply concerning. This is a snub to the nurses who have fought for years to secure dignity, privacy and safety at work. The Health Secretary should meet them without delay, listen carefully to their concerns, and provide assurances that their right to single sex spaces will be respected."

Sturgeon demanded women's groups had an inclusive trans policy to qualify for govt funding. The women refused, and Sturgeon withdrew every penny. A massive transfer of essential government funding for rape crisis and breastfeeding centres went from women to men.

Whilst there is a focus on the activities of gender clinics, could I recommend taking an interest in the activities of the adult Welsh Gender Service? An independent investigation was ordered in July 2024. It hasn't started yet. genderblog.net/welsh-gender-…

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.

Men dominate and outnumber women in all kinds of areas of life - particularly the ones where physical strength, money and Power are concerned. I have no idea why Steph finds this surprising. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Men with long hair are not marginalised. And they are not women or no sex at all. They remain men and are subject to the same laws as everyone else. This acceptance of trans exceptionalism is astonishing.

❌ A government cannot pick & choose which laws it follows 🧑‍⚖️Yet that's exactly what is happening inside the Welsh Government in relation to the Supreme Court's ruling on sex. 👇We need action - not more excuses and delays

1 The Code of Practice is not “rules”. It’s guidance. 2 Rejecting the EHRC’s guidance doesn’t change the law. The law stays the same. 3 Parliament can of course change the law. And if this is what you mean, say so—and also how you’d change it. Otherwise this is just posturing.

And women, @EmilyThornberry ? What does it mean for women?

Housing male prisoners in women’s prisons is a clear breach of the Equality Act 2010. Yesterday I asked the EHRC what they are going to do about it given they have responsibility for enforcing the Equality Act.

Next week we will be in court for our long-running challenge against the National Police Chief's Council and British Transport Police for their policies that try to get around the law on police searches which must be same-sex. This is round 2. ⬇️

Revolting man.

An important point. Ask the question clearly, you get a different picture.
