I understand Network Rail's policy not to have political advertising. But as @campervanwoman points out they impose a political viewpoint on staff by their membership of the Stonewall Diversity Champions scheme.
Is the other political viewpoint: that #sexmatters accepted by NR?
Not according to their Diversity and Inclusion strategy "everyone matters": race, disability, gender, LGBT+, carers, faith, age all matter.... but what about sex? #sexmatters (not according to @networkrail )
Terminology matters they say.... but their glossary doesn't give a definition of sex (or gender for that matter)
Sex is a protected characteristic in the Equality Act Network rail - use it.
This matters because you can't do diversity impact assessments if you forget about a protected characteristic altogether #SexMatters
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.
- 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.
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.
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
The project hadn't delivered on its ambitious goals of offering policy and regulatory recommendations and influencing govt departments and shadow ministers.
