"Both sides"
People who write careful, evidenced papers critical of self ID get complaints to their employers, complaints to the publisher, threats & smears
And EHRC ignore their work and chide "both sides to improve their discourse"
It smarts

Maybe by "both sides" she means the established womens orgs? @fawcettsociety @womensaid @RefugeCharity @rightsofwomen
Yes they need to improve their discourse
(I understand the pressure they are under not to, but like EHRC they should do their job)

It is amazing, just amazing that the head of the nation's equality body could wonder why people are "not supportive" of TW in women's refuges, without considering that it is because they have considered the interests of women at their most vulnerable...
That anyone thinks it is these women's role to validate and include, to swallow discomfort and fear, to pretend someone is not male, and for staff meant to be supporting them to collude in gaslighting
...it is like they just don't see women as anything other than support humans

If you think the rights and dignity of women in women's refuges matters (and especially if you wrote one of the papers) I suggest you write to Rebecca Hillsenrath.
I doubt the established womens orgs will be doing it.
