So the Observer article that accuses JKR or misrepresenting my case and said "the devil is in the detail" has made a correction....
The original article said she repeated proclaimed on social media the "truths" that....
In this edited version they go with something else I said on social media, and note that I also wrote to my MP
Here is me "proclaiming"....

I don't think being a woman/female is a matter of identity or womanly feelings. It is biology.

(they couldn't even quote the whole sentence! 🙄 )

If the devil is the detail (and the details are wrong) what is it that @RowanMoore is accusing JKR of misrepresenting? 🤷‍♀️

Dear @KathViner - @guardian is welcome to write about my case, but please fact check it.

Being the child of a journalist is not the same as being a journalist.

And a journalist writing about their own child is still primarily a parent.

Where are your editorial standards?
Claim 1: She repeatedly proclaimed on social media that “transwomen are men”.

Not true.
Claim 2: She repeatedly proclaimed on social media that “it is not possible for someone who is male to become female”

Not true

I unintentionally misgendered this person on Twitter in June 19

They complained to Scouts who undertook an investigation of me leading to a process still ongoing

I submitted evidence which was not read by Scouts

Some of my evidence ended up in my employment tribunal judgment
The complaint was that I had
(1) deliberately misgendered Murray
(2) spread lies about them
(3) "Broken the Scout Law" in these two tweets

There was lots of other baseless accusation: calling me an anti trans bigot, unsafe for children, causing pile ons (please don't!) , making claims that Scouts was working w Transgender Trend, which GM called a "hate group".

GM gave no evidence for any of this

Its April. My appeal is coming up soon.

It is two years since I lost my job @CGDev for disagreeing w the erasure of sex

16 months since CGD's representatives stood up in court and said such things as "how can you possibly tell what sex someone is?"

15 months since JKR tweeted
In that time not one international development blogger, open government commentator, women in development commentator has written a word.

There has not been one article in the development, voluntary sector etc.. press @devex @CivilSocietyUK @ACEVO @ThirdSector
CGDev pleaded & the judge agreed that my view is "not worthy of respect in a democratic society" --

putting it on par w naziism

How they square this w writing perfectly sensible articles like this, I do not know, and no one has had the courage to ask

I am thinking about #digitalidentity and how your personal data is required and used by official and commercial systems

Basic data protection requires it be accurate, reliable and purposeful.

So if they record my sex it shouldn't then be mixed up in a category that's not sex
Current systems which mix up sex and self identified gender cause all kinds of risks and problems, which get worse with interoperability
What would good ID look like in relation to sex?

Are these 5 system characteristics adequate?
