The witchfinders are out because @RosieDuffield1 liked a tweet in which I used the word cross dresser
Stonewall say trans includes "cross dressers"
Global Butterflies (who contributed to the SRA template ) says "transgender" developed to cover 3 terms: transsexual, drag queen and cross dresser
The SRA template uses the term gender expression
Meaning clothing, haircut, voice on a full or part time basis....
Or as Stonewall tells the kids, if you are a girl you might dress in a certain way or read certain books
The SRA says that if a male colleague decides their gender expression means they feel more comfortable using the ladies them they can.
And as an elected representative if you so much as like a tweet questioning whether the lawmakers really did intend this, the enforcers will pop up to condemn you and invite you for a struggle session.

I have seen quite a lot of this question going around.

Its called the "transman gotcha" and it is addressed in the Supreme Court judgment. Image
It goes like this: If you exclude "trans women" from women's spaces then you must include burly, bearded "trans men" Image
The answer in the judgment is that the Equality Act exceptions mean that both sex discrimination and gender reassignment discrimination prohibitions are disapplied so a service provider can lawfully exclude both ways. Image

There will be much talk of the single-sex exceptions in the Equality Act over the next few days.
These are the exceptions that allow service providers to offer services that are only open to one sex or the other (found at Schedule 3 Part 7 of the Act). (1/7) Image
Without these provisions service providers would be committing sex discrimination by excluding men or women.
Service providers don’t need to “use these exceptions” to exclude people, they just provide the service in the normal way. If they were to get sued they (or a lawyer) can point to the exceptions to show the service is lawful. (2/7)
The exceptions disapply both the prohibitions against sex discrimination and gender reassignment discrimination.

Again service providers don’t have to “use the exceptions” to exclude someone based on a particular protected characteristic. (3/7) Image

Stonewall publishes a story about asexual "conversion therapy" to support its campaign for a new criminal law.

It is distinctly odd. Image
Elizabeth gets married then tells her husband she isn't sexually attracted to him and doesn't want to have sex with him (or anyone else).

What was she doing getting married? 🤷‍♀️ Image
The couple go to therapy, which seems like a reasonable course of action.

The story says "made to" but with no detail as to how she was forced. 🤔

She stopped going with no ill consequences for her. Image

The CEO of @AdvanceHE has written to university vice chancellors acknowledging that "certain policy statements" cited in the @officestudents decision on @SussexUni "originated in part from" their template. Image
The parts in yellow came word-for-word from the Equality Challenge Unit/ Advance HE template....

i.e. almost all of it. Image
... this policy was influential and contributed to the culture of declaring everything "transphobia" and of hounding and not protecting those accused of it. Image

The ONS have new guidance out on their gender identity data from the census....

They say that you can take it from them with "high confidence" that around 1 in 200 people have a "gender identity different from their sex at birth" 🤨 Image
But low confidence as to whether these are "trans men" "trans women" "non binary people" or others.

So what is it they are confident about? Image
They divide the apparent trans response into type A (e.g. sex male, says no to gender identity same question says "woman" for gender ID)

Type b 1 (says no to gender identity same question w no further answer)

Type b 12(says no to gender identity same question and then gives matching answer e.g. Male and man)Image

So who is "Mr X" the trans identifying man held in high security male prison after multiple convictions for luring boys into sex acts while pretending to be a teenage girl on social media?
Could it be Nigel "Emma" Davies who posed as a teenager online and shared indecent images?

No. Davies wanted to engage with young girls. Davies was convicted but not jailed.

Could it be former children’s holiday camp manager Cameron Osman who engaged more than 70 teenage boys in sexualised chat pretending to be a 16-year-old girl “Lizzie lemon”.



He is in prison. No idea what pronouns he now uses. independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/…Image
