I like Lloyd, but this article is a mess. Here's a long and detailed thread explaining why, mostly in pictures. Really happy to meet in person to discuss it, @lloyd_rm. /1
First two paragraphs were so full of inaccuracies I had to annotate them twice. Sunday Times article is here if you want to check what's actually been reported: thetimes.co.uk/article/boris-… /2
Here's the link to the Populus opinion poll results. Credit to @helenstaniland for this useful data: fairplayforwomen.com/wp-content/upl… /3
Evidence of attempts to roll back women's existing protections: womansplaceuk.org/references-to-…. /4
Lloyd repeatedly describes opponents of GRA reform as 'social conservatives' but all the actors he identifies are left wing feminists, apart from @DavidTCDavies. Women have forced this issue onto the agenda against formidable institutional resistance. We are nobody's puppets. /5
'Just like Section 28' klaxon! Here's my response to Owen Jones saying that a year ago: rebelyarn.wordpress.com/2019/06/13/are… /6
Bit of a sting in the tail here. Lloyd picks and chooses which bits of the Labour manifesto he wants to stick to. Rather than ensuring that the single-sex exemptions in the Equality Act are fully understood, he wants to get rid of them altogether (except for 'medical reasons') /7
I'm not a social conservative. Here's what I said in the GRA consultation: lesbianlost.home.blog/gra-consultati…. Here's what I said last September in Brighton (against the noise of an intimidating mob outside): rebelyarn.wordpress.com/2019/09/26/i-a…. Let's talk. /8
