*NEW AND EXCLUSIVE*: Today we are publishing the internal documents that reveal why prison bosses decided to put the unit for dangerous trans prisoners in a women's prison instead of the men's. /1

fairplayforwomen.com/transgender-pr…
Equality Impact Assessment rejected the safer option of putting dangerous trans prisoners on the men's estate because they need "association with other women" and "female services". /2
Allowing male sex offenders to mix with vulnerable women in prison was intended to "foster good relations". /3
Trans 'lesbians' who have sex with women prisoners should not come under "extra scrutiny" compared to other relationships in prison /4

Thread: Great to see the problem of police recording crime based on gender identity not sex being called out in parliament. Thank you for standing up for women and girls @ToniaAntoniazzi /1

And great to see figures revealed by Fair Play For Women now being used by MPs in their speeches

Freedom of Information requests revealed up to 16 police forces now record crime according to how the offender identifies and not his sex. Even rapists /2

And this is the consequence. BBC and newspapers report a shocking increase in female child abusers. There is no way to know how much of this increase is due to males identifying as women /3

NEW: Mental health servicer providers must stop recording information about sex and ask about gender identity instead /1
fairplayforwomen.com/mental-health-…
Gender identity options will now include 1) Male including trans man 2) Female including trans woman 3) Non-binary 4) Other.
/2
While people’s identities are important to their own lives, and collecting data on identity can often be useful, this must not be seen as a replacement for data on sex. Especially in mental health and autism services where sex really does matter. /3

THREAD: Fair Play For Women has provided detailed written feedback to @Englandrugby regarding its proposed updates to its transgender eligibility policy. You can read our findings here /1
fairplayforwomen.com/rfu_transgende…
*Women’s rugby is a sex category not a gender category*.

The word ‘sex’ is rarely used. By failing to frame the issues in terms of sex the needs of women and girls have not been adequately described nor accommodated. /2
*The policy priorities are confused & contradictory.*
The policy speaks of safety, fairness & inclusion but is unclear and inconsistent about how these policy objectives are prioritised or ‘balanced’. As such, the policy gives an unrealistic impression of what it can deliver /3

Asked about the government delay, @FiLiA_charity says we must take enough time to make policy that works for everyone, which needs proper democratic discussion, to strike a position and policy which is balanced.
@Womans_Place_UK what has made the debate toxic is the insistence that any objection has been transphobic. There's been a failure by bodies that have a duty to foster good relations, like @EHRC. it's been left to grassroots women's groups to take personal risks.
NW: When we did speak to people on the streets, they didn't call us transphobic, they said thank you for explaining the issues. It is not hateful to do this. The effect on women and girls has to be discussed.

Today @EnglandRugby has launched a 2 week external consultation on it proposed transgender inclusion policy. A link to the survey and a promotional video to accompany the draft policy can be found here /1
englandrugby.com/about-rfu/rfu-…
In contrast to the @WorldRugby decision to restrict elite women's rugby to female players only, @Englandrugby will continue allow male people who identity as women to play community women's rugby /2
In the video they say this

"The policy aims to strike a balance between fairness, inclusion and safe participation."

"The RFU has considered measures to safeguard and mitigate as far as reasonably possible any risks to players". /3

Thank you to Baroness Noakes @1SVN for submitting this series of parliamentary questions following the consent order signed by @ONS that Census law does not allow sex to be redefined to include self-identified sex. We look forward to the answers by 31st March /1
