. @EHRC 's sex discrimination page is back up. The section on single and separate sex services is very sparse. There are many more everyday examples than this in the Equality Act - why not list them? equalityhumanrights.com/en/advice-and-…

But at least it does list sports

Here are some more everyday examples of single/ separate sex services it could have included, straight out of the Equality Act

It also could have included these examples on communal accommodation which show that it is not unlawful to exclude someone of the opposite sex, and employers should make alternative arrangements for men and women.

It could also have included the section on charities. Which can limit their benefits to people who share a common protected characteristic. For example the @WomensInstitute says its membership is only open to women.

So, the past few weeks has seen a growing public awareness in the UK of how the far-right, especially the religious far-right, in the US likes to operate, and likes to use willing, if witless, pawns to do their bidding.

The name that's been making the headlines recently...

1/n

is The #Heritage #Foundation. But what, exactly, does The Heritage Foundation espouse? What is it's driving ideological foci?

And the answer to that, if you care one iota for women, or for LGBTQI+ people, is grim to say the least.

This is an organisation that states:

2/n

On SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Laws):

"SOGI laws are about forcing all Americans to embrace—and live out—certain beliefs about human sexuality. They are not about protecting the freedom of people to live as LGBT, but about coercing everyone else to...

Digging into some of the literature in advance of a talk I am giving next week on LGBTQ+ and STEM. #lgbtSTEM

Will tweet some 'highlights' from the literature: mdpi.com/2076-0760/6/1/…

LGBTQ+ rights in STEM are not better with age, and it is not just about waiting for the older generation to die off. #lgbtSTEM

mdpi.com/2076-0760/6/1/…

There's a great graph in the paper by Cech and Pham. This is the "workplace experience" of employees in US based STEM federal agencies. 3 = positive, 2 = neutral, 1 = negative. LGBTQ+ have a systematically worse of experience. #lgbtSTEM

(1) I am going to ASSERT and then EXPLAIN something I am positive you THINK you understand, but you actually DON'T.

In fact, OUR very THINKING WE UNDERSTAND WHEN WE DON'T is a PRODUCT OF THE ASSERTION.

THE ASSERTION:

The entire Obama presidency was based on deception.

(2) This thread is brought to you by the memory of the memory of the movie Memento, which showed in a very unique way, how the universe allows the long arm of the law to move forward, by our minds moving back in time.

IF YOU CAN'T SPY ON THE FUTURE, SPY ON THE PAST

(3) The assertion of TOTAL DECEIT by Obama, was brought about by a series of expanding realizations, each of which showed that more and more of his presidency was not SIMPLE FAKERY of incompetence, but rather DIABOLICAL FAKERY with greater purpose.

I REPEAT.

DIABOLICAL.
