If you missed this weeks Woman's Hour discussion about the GRA you can listen to a clip of the whole interview here /1

And here are some of our best bits! /2

"One of women's sex-based rights is to have spaces just for us. Female only. Male free. To exclude based on birth sex"

"That law simply can't function properly if another law allows males to hide their birth sex."

fairplayforwomen.com/wp-content/upl…
"I want trans people to be treated fairly and live safely but I want that for women too. Everyone should be considered in good policy making"

"Women still need male-free spaces. Nothing has changed for us. The reasons we need them have not gone away"

/3

fairplayforwomen.com/wp-content/upl…
"With the greatest of respect, transwoman are not women. That word woman has already been taken and means something quite specific"

"Transwomen are transwomen. They were born male, not female"

"Biological sex is real and matters to women"

We speak up because others can't or won't. It must never be wrong or shameful to talk about the reality of our birth sex. /5

BREAKING: New EHRC guidance relating to ‘women-only’ job adverts.

“A ‘sex-based’ occupational requirement to be a woman under Schedule 9 cannot include transgender women who have not obtained a GRC” /1

equalityhumanrights.com/guidance/guida…
We have been calling for this guidance for a long time. We have been reporting rogue employers each time they misuse the law by advertising for ‘self-identifying women’ to fill women-only roles. /2
In March this year @EHRC promised to publish new guidance. From now on no employer can say it didn’t understand the rules. /3

THREAD
In March the @EHRC promised to publish new guidance to stop employers mis-stating the law on female-only job adverts. We had reported numerous breaches over 2 years /1

telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/03/1…
The EHRC also said it would ‘enforce’ the law and would take ‘urgent action’ when problems are reported. We reported ‘Survivors Network’ who said ‘being female’ was a requirement but ‘this post is open to self-identifying women’ /2

Image
Despite being reported to EHRC the advert was not corrected and remained live until applications closed. However, the wording of its latest advert for a therapist has changed in line with the law. All references to ‘self-identifying’ have gone. /3

Today we have published the first ever report on the impact of trans inclusion in sport in the UK.
It shows a widespread problem, affecting many women and girls all over the country, at all levels, from juniors to masters and at all levels of competition and participation. 1/11 Image
Women and girls are being put at risk and their legitimate concerns disregarded.

They’ve been intimidated and silenced. This report gives them a voice. 2/11
fairplayforwomen.com/new-report-how…
Personal testimonies from dozens of women and girls in the UK across 25 sports show six key areas of harm.

It's not just unfair competition and demoralisation, or
losing out on records, rankings and opportunities to participate. 3/11 Image

THREAD:
Despite clear law to the contrary, female police officers are required to perform intimate searches on men - if that man says he identifies as a woman /1
The law says SAME SEX ONLY but the Statutory Code prioritises GENDER IDENTITY. This is yet another example of bad guidance corrupting policy contrary to the law /2
The Police And Criminal Evidence Act (1984) sets out how the police must lawfully search suspects.

55(7) A constable may not carry out an intimate search of a person of the opposite SEX /3

BREAKING NEWS: Schools told they must record the SEX of all pupils in England /1

gov.uk/guidance/compl…
Image
Every term schools in England must submit data to the DfE. This is known as the School Census. The DfE determines what data is required by law.

In recent years, sex data had been replaced by "self-declared" gender /2 Image
With the high numbers of children now self-identifying at school this was likely to seriously corrupt any dataset cross referenced with sex. /3

THREAD:
Yesterday we received an email from a woman who had checked the meaning of a “woman-only” fitness class at her local gym. With permission, we’re sharing the story verbatim. Well done that woman 💪… /1
“Warrington's major sports centre is run by a company called LiveWire. They are widely publicising "women only fitness classes", saying how "empowering" these will be because they are "women only"…. /2

“…. with an odd emphasis in their PR about women being freely allowed to make mistakes in these fitness classes that otherwise they can't.” /3
