We’re on track to be one of the hardest hit in the world thanks to initial dithering & herd immunity. Our death rate will be worse than Italy, Spain & France *combined* We’re forecast to be 85K ICU beds short. But the news here is that lockdown might be extended? #CovidUK
@DominicRaab We need covid19 daily briefings that level with the British public: no nonsense, fact based, like NY Governor @andrewcuomo

@BBCNews We’re having to watch US cable news @maddow for honest reporting of what’s going on in the UK.

Level with us. Knowledge is power.
Correction: forecast is 85K beds needed. Short 20K plus ICU beds — on @IHME_UW University of Washington projections. Like everyone else, I would be happy if they’re wrong, but I’m also sure that it’s idiotic & foolhardy to dismiss this research as scaremongering or unpatriotic.

I am sorry that I have not succeeded in my Appeal against Stonewall.

I am grateful to The Hon. Mr Justice Bourne for his reasoned judgment, although I am of course disappointed with the result.

I will consider the judgment with my legal team, but my initial view is that there are five key aspects of the judgment which are of concern.
1/7
Firstly, the judgment gives permission for organisations like Stonewall to procure the withdrawal of employment from people whose protected characteristics they disagree with, if this can be framed as a “protest”. This seems to go directly against the terms of the Equality Act.
2/7
Secondly, sight should not be lost of the fact that Stonewall, a charity set up to protect the legal rights of lesbians like me, should be the ones to limit workplace rights like this. How far they have fallen.
3/7

1/ According to Ruth Hunt CEO of Stonewall until 2019, “It’s perfectly legitimate for Stonewall to advocate that position [that transwomen are women]. It doesn’t say ‘trans women are women’ and if you disagree, *we’re going to do something terrible to you*”
2/Well, Ruth, I did disagree and Stonewall *did something terrible to me.* On 21 October 2019, Stonewall wrote to my chambers (a few months after you stepped down as CEO) demanding that I be sacked, shamelessly leveraging Stonewall's influence to do so. allisonbailey.co.uk/wp-content/upl…
3/ Whether Stonewall's actions in soliciting my removal from chambers was unlawful under the EqA 2010 is the subject of appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal. That Stonewall sent this letter to my chambers is not in dispute. All because I disagreed that TWAW literally.

1/The Employment Tribunal found that Garden Court Chambers discriminated against me because of my gender critical belief when it published a statement that I was under investigation & in upholding Stonewall’s complaint against me.

#AllisonBaileyWins
2/The ET further found that GCC also victimised me by upholding the Stonewall Complaint because of my protected act: tweeting against the idea of the ‘Cotton Ceiling’ & about the appalling levels of fear and intimidation driving the Stonewall self ID agenda.

#AllisonBaileyWins
3/In doing so the tribunal held that my protected gender critical belief also included the belief that "gender identity theory as proselytised by Stonewall is severely detrimental" to women, and to lesbians.

1/ The furore surrounding the number of women prosecuted for rape in 2012-18 illustrates why we need sex specific data.

In 2011, of the 2,663 people proceeded against for rape of a female in England & Wales, EIGHT of the accused were female. Image
2/ In 2011, of the 1,058 people convicted of raping a female, FIVE were recorded as female.

These women would have been convicted as co-conspirators or accessories to a male offender. Image
3/ In the period 2012-2018, the number of women (and men) prosecuted for rape increased:

2012 - 3,803 men; 60 women

2018 - 4,423 men; 83 women

With a total of 463 women prosecuted during this period.

We have no data as to whether these 463 women are in fact natal females. Image

1/ Over the past few days, I have beens subjected to a vicious & co-ordinated campaign of vile abuse & harrassment by trans rights activists.

They seized on single sentence from my speech: "Girls are having breasts removed that have never known a lover's caress".
2/ In a short while my speech will be released & everyone can judge for themselves whether I was advocating for the molestation of children or for young people to experience sexual intimacy in their bodies before having bits of them amputated.
3/ The point is this is a political tactic. Trans activists rightly worry that I will speak truth to power & they are scared. They have come for me, like they have for so many other women. The goal is to instil fear & to stop people speaking out. It's a form or terrorism.

Disgust at homosexuality hasn't gone away. That's what makes this moment in history far worse than the Section 28 era I grew up in.

We're called bigots for saying that young people & society's enthusiasm for transgenderism is a response to homophobia & is itself homophobic.
2/ It's about sex stereotypes. You cannot explain the concept of 'gender identity' without them. The sudden jump in the number of girls wishing to present as boys correlates with same-sex attraction. The same is true for boys.
3/ I've been stunned by the number of trans men, females, who say they were lesbians & cannot conceal their discomfort with that word / reality. Being gay is seen as more difficult, more shameful; feelings that most lesbians & gays can relate to at some point or other.
