How on earth has it come to this? Police forces admitting they would record a male rapist as 'female' if that is how they self identify /1
Here's another police force doing the same. Did it prick anyone's conscience when they typed these words in the FOI? Did anyone say 'hang on should we really be recording a male rapist as female?' /2
Whose dignity matters most? The male rapist or the victim? How does the victim feel when she's told she's been raped by a woman? /3
"Durham records a persons gender as they identify themselves REGARDLESS OF THEIR NATAL SEX" Yes, you read that right - even male rapists /4
These aren't one-offs. We asked every police force in the UK. Sixteen responded. All saying they would record male crime as female if that's what the perp wanted. Read more here. /5

Why are police recording male rapists as female? Who could have suggested this mad idea? Take a look at all the police forces who are Stonewall champions... /6
sex-matters.org/stonewall-cham…
North Wales Police = Stonewall Champion /7
Durham Police = Stonewall Champion /8
Suffolk, Dyfed-Powys, West Midlands, Herts, Dorset Police .... all record male rapists as female if they want it.... all stonewall champions. /9

Thank you Derbyshire Police. The only police force in the UK that confirmed it would record a male rapist as male even if they said they identified as female. Please don't let common sense crumble when Stonewall finds out! /10
When it comes to male crimes small misclassification errors make a huge difference. Today at least a third of the female sex offenders in prison WERE BORN MALE! /11

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

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

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

NEWSPAPERS:

Fair Play For Women has been lobbying the U.K. Press Regulator @IpsoNews to update its transgender reporting guidance for over 2 years /1

fairplayforwomen.com/ipso-failing-w…
We have had multiple meetings with the chair, head of complaints and the head of standards and regulation. In 2020 the head of IPSO promised updated guidance was on the way /2

ipso.co.uk/news-press-rel…
New guidance is now being written and a draft has been promised by end of January 2023. In light of the avalanche of press coverage regarding the transgender double rapist in Scotland this guidance is more urgent that ever. /3
