Listen from 7.50am on @BBCr4today to hear discussion on Stonewall in which Benjamin Cohen CEO P*nk News claims it is untrue that the organisation is campaigning for the removal of the single sex exemptions in the Equality Act… It is. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li… 1/
Here is what Stonewall are campaigning for: “A review of the Equality Act 2010 to include ‘gender identity’ rather than ‘gender reassignment’ as a protected characteristic and to remove exemptions, such as access to single-sex spaces” stonewall.org.uk/women-and-equa…
Gendered Intelligence “We need a comprehensive review of the legislation affecting trans people (and intersex people) with the aim of deleting the exceptions laid out in the GRA 2004 and EA 2010.” data.parliament.uk/writtenevidenc… Image

The government was very clear about the importance of hearing women’s voices in the #GRA consultation. This is from the ministerial forward assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
“We also want to be clear that this is an explorative consultation and we do not have all the answers. That is why, as we consult, we are mindful of the need to engage with all perspectives... #WomenAtWESC
“We particularly want to hear from women’s groups who we know have expressed some concerns about the implications of our proposals... #WomenAtWESC

We are really pleased to have been invited to give evidence to the @Commonswomequ inquiry into reform of the GRA on 21st April, alongside representatives of @fairplaywomen and @FiLiA_charity committees.parliament.uk/event/4307/for…
@transwidows will be providing written answers as, although invited, the committee were unable to hear their oral evidence in private.
We are very pleased that this WESC inquiry has sought oral evidence from many different perspectives - you can see earlier sessions with @GoonerProf @Docstockk @ProfAliceS here parliamentlive.tv/event/index/df…

Ensuring that the census recorded accurate sex data was one of our earliest campaigns back in 2017 see this post for details womansplaceuk.org/2020/10/17/wom… #Census2021 #SexInTheCensus #WomenCountSoCountWomen
Here is our correspondence with the National Statistician on #Census2021 womansplaceuk.org/2020/11/10/cor… #WomenCountSoCountWomen #SexNotGender #SexMatters #SexInTheCensus
We recently sought a legal opinion on the advice given to @Scotgov by @EHRC on the collection of sex data. We believe that their advice misrepresents the law and call on them to withdraw it womansplaceuk.org/2020/12/11/ehr… #SexInTheCensus #WomenCountSoCountWomen #SexMatters #SexNotGender
