No reasonable person can read this and accuse us of hate. This is what @fairplaywomen is about. 1/3
#ExpelMe

We stand up for the sex-based rights of women and girls. Sex is a protected characteristic in Equality law and it's right that this group (like any other) has advocates who prioritise and campaign for their rights and needs. 2/3

We support the right of trans people to live safely and free from unfair discrimination. But sex and gender identity are not the same and #sexmatters too. Sometimes sex needs to be prioritised in policy making. Existing law allows this. 3/3 Image

Today we have published the first ever report on the impact of trans inclusion in sport in the UK.
It shows a widespread problem, affecting many women and girls all over the country, at all levels, from juniors to masters and at all levels of competition and participation. 1/11 Image
Women and girls are being put at risk and their legitimate concerns disregarded.

They’ve been intimidated and silenced. This report gives them a voice. 2/11
fairplayforwomen.com/new-report-how…
Personal testimonies from dozens of women and girls in the UK across 25 sports show six key areas of harm.

It's not just unfair competition and demoralisation, or
losing out on records, rankings and opportunities to participate. 3/11 Image

THREAD:
Despite clear law to the contrary, female police officers are required to perform intimate searches on men - if that man says he identifies as a woman /1
The law says SAME SEX ONLY but the Statutory Code prioritises GENDER IDENTITY. This is yet another example of bad guidance corrupting policy contrary to the law /2
The Police And Criminal Evidence Act (1984) sets out how the police must lawfully search suspects.

55(7) A constable may not carry out an intimate search of a person of the opposite SEX /3

BREAKING NEWS: Schools told they must record the SEX of all pupils in England /1

gov.uk/guidance/compl…
Image
Every term schools in England must submit data to the DfE. This is known as the School Census. The DfE determines what data is required by law.

In recent years, sex data had been replaced by "self-declared" gender /2 Image
With the high numbers of children now self-identifying at school this was likely to seriously corrupt any dataset cross referenced with sex. /3

THREAD:
Yesterday we received an email from a woman who had checked the meaning of a “woman-only” fitness class at her local gym. With permission, we’re sharing the story verbatim. Well done that woman 💪… /1
“Warrington's major sports centre is run by a company called LiveWire. They are widely publicising "women only fitness classes", saying how "empowering" these will be because they are "women only"…. /2

“…. with an odd emphasis in their PR about women being freely allowed to make mistakes in these fitness classes that otherwise they can't.” /3

NEWSPAPERS:

Fair Play For Women has been lobbying the U.K. Press Regulator @IpsoNews to update its transgender reporting guidance for over 2 years /1

We have had multiple meetings with the chair, head of complaints and the head of standards and regulation. In 2020 the head of IPSO promised updated guidance was on the way /2

ipso.co.uk/news-press-rel…
New guidance is now being written and a draft has been promised by end of January 2023. In light of the avalanche of press coverage regarding the transgender double rapist in Scotland this guidance is more urgent that ever. /3

#census2021
48K people over 16 identified as "transwoman" in the 2021 Census for England and Wales.

Of those a whopping 32K (2/3rds) said their sex was FEMALE /1

ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati… Image
Following our successful court challenge the judge forced the ONS to amend its guidance accompanying the question "What is your sex?"

Guidance confirmed "sex" means "sex as
recorded on a birth certificate or Gender Recognition Certificate" /2

fairplayforwomen.com/sex-in-the-cen…
Fewer than 4000 GRCs have been issued to males identifying as transwomen since 2004.

This means the 32K transwomen saying their sex is female cannot be explained by them having a GRC.

This leaves 28K transwomen answering that they were BORN THE FEMALE SEX /3
