Excellent job just now by @selina_todd on BBC politics live bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b…. Calm & clear despite being talked over by @lloyd_rm who put forward the biological nonsense that 'sex is not binary' & the sexist nonsense that being a woman is "how you present yourself"👗💋👠
Twitter tropes being trotted out by an MP. "Do you propose a gene test to check whether everyone has the right chromosomes" 🙄

"i've not seen the detail of the pledge" but it "sounds very sensible to have disciplinary proceedings" for people who wont say transwomen are women
Selina Todd says the the pledge calls women & gay rights orgs @Womans_Place_UK and @AllianceLGB transphobic orgs.

Lloyd Russell-Moyle MP butts in: "well they are"

The search for the elusive middle ground. @gabyhinsliff calls for debate ✅...theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

But misses the mark on the issues ❌

Its not about "exceptional circumstances" 🙄 it's about upholding the exception that allows males to be excluded in general from 🚺spaces
Is it the "cruelist of personal repudiations" to say this space/ service/ job is single sex (because of other people's bodily privacy) and expect people of the opposite sex (whatever their gender identity) to respect that?
Gaby suggests it's all good. But she's coy about the questions.

"Absorb gender questioning pupils"? Of course! The Q is should males be allowed in girls showers etc

"Unisex loos" ? Fine (in addition to single sex ) The Q is should males have right to be in 🚺 facilities?

Off to court for Kate Scottow's verdict #IStandWithScottow .

A reminder. This is how this started

Act I: Professor Kathleen Stock tweets about people scheming to get her and other gender critical academics fired
2. Act II: Hayden repeatedly calls Stock a transphobe and a twitter discussion ensues
Act III Hayden calls a black man a hypocrite for his stance in this debate.

Several people object

This is a terse press release from @fawcettsociety

It's good @Samsmethers said something but her quote makes no sense alone

What was she commenting on? How was @Womans_Place_UK
being referred to? By who?

fawcettsociety.org.uk/news/comment-o…
Take a look at the URL: "comment-on-denunciation-of-a-womans-place-as-a-trans-exclusionist-hate-group"

There's the original title of the post!

But somewhere along the line it was neutralised to "Fawcett comments on the sex, gender and identity debate"
So now we have a statement which leads with the unnecessary both-siderism "Trans people are targeted with violence, abuse and threats" .... "(and so are women)"

and doesn't say ANYTHING about the actual threat to women in this case (of bring kicked out of their political party)

BBC News - Princess Haya: Dubai ruler's wife in UK 'in fear of her life'

This comes after two of Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum's daughters, Shamsa and Latifa, tried to escape and were both caught, returned to Dubai and held against their will.

bbc.co.uk/news/world-mid…
Per BBC's @FrankRGardner: "Sources close to her have said that Princess Haya had recently discovered disturbing facts behind the mysterious return to Dubai last year of Sheikha Latifa, one of the ruler's daughters."
If confirmed, this is a huge deal.

It was Princess Haya who invited former Irish president Mary Robinson to Dubai last year for a stage-managed public appearance with Latifa

Robinson parroted the Maktoum line that Latifa was "troubled" and "in the loving care of her family"

The #BBC says it will not include abortion information on its Action Line website - a site that provides signposting for viewers seeking support on issues covered in their programmes - because it's too "contentious".

Our press release: bpas.org/about-our-char…
These organisations have written to the @BBC calling on them to reverse their stance. Read our letter in full here: bpas.org/media/3103/let…
The issue emerged after an episode of #CallTheMidwife, in which a woman died from an illegal backstreet abortion. Viewers visited BBC Action Line for support but were unable to find information on abortion.

For those who are criticising the rebels led by Dominic Grieve for lacking courage, and who doubt the viciousness and lies being unleashed against them, as the Brexiters get more and more hysterical in trying to bulldoze what they want through Parliament... [THREAD - 1/18]
2/
 Just check out the deliberate distortion & orchestrated hate that Grieve is subjected to by the vicious, sinister, lying pro-Brexit propaganda machine, including its outriders on social media. I’ll walk you through it...

 Yesterday morning, Dominic Grieve was interviewed on BBC Sunday Politics about the attempt to amend the Withdrawal Bill so as to require a meaningful vote in Parliament over the Withdrawal agreement that the govt is negotiating.

BBC Radio Word at one #wato had this absolutely ludicrous interview with Christopher Montgomery MP. It's so bat-shit crazy, I've transcribed it below. 16.20 in on this link if you don't believe me, and I can see why you wouldn't.... bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09…
Interviewer: "Christopher Montgomerie - though a conservative now was until recently the DUP's chief of staff at Westminster he joins me now Mr Montgomerie, is it fair to say with reference to this document "never, never, never"?
CM: "absolutely, it's dead on arrival"

Interviewer:"is there anything worth discussing within the document as far as you think the DUP might be concerned?
