An FOI shows #Stonewall in #NorthernIreland got the NI Civil Service to remove the words 'mother' and 'woman' from their maternity policies. @StephenNolan you covered this re Scotland; now it's here too. Doc 5 in FOI reply:

Left column is #Stonewall's recommendations to remove 'woman', 'her', etc; right column is NICS HR response.

@StephenNolan Big relief! This account was set up to amplify concerns about replacing 'sex' (a material fact) with 'gender identity' (an untestable claim in law). We were slurred as a 'hate group' by @SeamasBelfast, who went on to block women who said we aren't a hate group & they support us.
@StephenNolan @SeamasBelfast We shared photos of pro-women stickers people have been putting up around NI, and @TRPNI put out baseless claims there were razor blades underneath them. Very distressing to young people they're meant to support. @antoflynnser @AllianceLGBT @KateNicholl @GerryCarrollPBP RTed
@StephenNolan @SeamasBelfast @TRPNI @AntoFlynnser @AllianceLGBT @KateNicholl @GerryCarrollPBP We contacted the PSNI and got confirmation not only had none been found, but none had even be reported, leading us to suspect it was the decades-old smear tactic used to distract from the message of the stickers. We shared this, but they left the baseless claims up. #razorgate

THREAD: Multiple unverified claims have been made of people finding razor blades under pro-women stickers in #Belfast in the last few days, and were repeated by politicians and trans orgs. Despite multiple claimed sightings, not one photo of razor blades was shared. #razorgate
The @BelTel piece about ‘transphobic’ [sic] stickers did not mention the worrying #razorgate claims. Can @PSNIBelfast / CI Rosie Thompson please comment on whether any razor blades were found, or indeed whether any concerned citizens reported finding razor blades to the police?
@BelTel @PSNIBelfast Risking injury to people by putting razor blades under stickers, before or after they're first put up, would be deplorable. If trans orgs & politicians are making or repeating untrue claims causing distress to vulnerable young people they claim to support, that's vile. #razorgate
