One of the worst things about being cancelled, is being cancelled. un-personned, discontinued, sent to Coventry.

I've never met Søren but I am grateful that he has been one of the few people in #globaldev to stand up and point to me & @CGDev and say 'do you see this happening?'
In practice very few people think my view is so awful I deserve to be cancelled (otherwise they would say so).

Most think the issue is complex, but the cost of engaging is too high.

Many fear that if it was debated and they were honest, their views would be judged cancellable
The lack of courage in a sector which is supposed to be about evidence and about standing up for what right is utterly dispiriting.

I am sure everyone else who has stood up in every sector feels the same thing.

Stonewall are reverse ferreting saying they agree with the Cass Review Image
Remember what they said before:

- hormone blockers pay a vital role in healthcare for "trans children"

Image
Children should be given hormone blockers on the basis they are "reversible" without having to understand the impact of the whole course of treatment Image

Here we are.

Stonewall recognizes that "misgendering" is something like "criticising religion"

Is it criminal to criticise religion ? ❌

Is it harassment to criticize religion? ❌

Would it be lawful for an employer to require staff never to criticize religion? ❌
This is the same Stonewall which has trained the police forces that think "misgendering" is criminal.

The same Stonewall that never stepped in to say it wasn't, as people were arrested. Image
The same Stonewall that reported Allison Bailey to her chambers for misgendering. Image

On March 13 2024 I made a complaint to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office about Master McCloud, a serving judge who has been engaging publicly and inappropriately in debates on sex and gender.

The judge (who remains in post) had been posting on Linked in as "Judge in the High Court" ... The Judicial Conduct Standards say don't do this. Image
Demonstrating hostility towards people with gender critical beliefs... The Judicial Conduct Standards say don't do this. Image

This is just wow 🤯 Image
They conducted a survey which asked their members if the expression of gender critical beliefs creates a hostile environment for them Image
Their members compared recognizing that being a woman and being a trans-identifying man are different with apartheid Image

Chair of a civil service SEEN sued! This case will be big & important. Let's get it funded.

SEENs are gender-critical employee networks.

Her employer is being sued for harassment for allowing the SEEN to exist!

Elspeth is being sued for harassment.

What are the claims of harassment?

- She said ‘only women menstruate’.

- She posted a list of the 9 protected characteristics from the Equality Act and highlighting that gender expression, gender identity and gender are not PCs. Image
She shared a link to "my body is me" by @RooneyRach

I went to this yesterday, with my pal @charlesworth102

Professor Cooper was presenting on the findings of the £0.75m @ESRC funding research project.

We were underwhelmed. Image
As @_JVigo wrote at the start of the project in 2019 it did not define what it meant by gender or sex and consistently demonstrated a lack of understanding of bodies.

In 2024 that hadn't changed. Prof Cooper slipped between "gender" and "sex" throughout

She sounded a bit deflated.

The project hadn't delivered on its ambitious goals of offering policy and regulatory recommendations and influencing govt departments and shadow ministers.

Instead she talked of envisioning "utopias"
