Dear god man, this is absolutely pathetic .

Get off your knees.

Do your job. Make sure your institution complies with the Equality Act.

Protect the rights of all your staff and students.

Including your gender critical staff

The Reindorf Review pointed to a culture of fear for gender critical staff

Things that the VC has apologised for:

- Anyone who felt excluded from or affected by the process of contributing to the Review
- The manner in which the Report
was released
- the timing of the release
- that the Report and the actions agreed have required considerable time from students to address the impact on them and on other students and especially students in leadership roles
- some have not received appropriate training
- public scrutiny this has focused on some of our students
- any harassment or bullying that has taken place and for anyone having been made to feel unsafe as a result of the Review.
This is ridiculous. Just pathetic

Akua Reindorf said @Uni_of_Essex should consider its relationship with Stonewall because "this relationship appears to have given University members the impression that gender critical academics can legitimately be excluded from the institution"
The report includes an open letter from the LGBTQ forum which demonstrates clearly what this impression looks like Image

I wonder if @fawcettsociety is going to do a tweet welcoming this judgment which is in line with their position: "Trans women should, subject to an appropriate and effective risk assessment, be treated as women
within the prison system"
"... which already deals with women who are a risk to other women. It is clearly unacceptable to keep trans women in the mainstream male estate".

Why is it unacceptable for these "women" to be in the male estate ?

@ayeshahazarika @fionamac2017 can you see yet why your quips about accessorising are so offensive?

A judge weighed up women's safety against the feelings of convicted male sex offenders and said the sex offenders feelings win.

Interesting discussion here.

What is emerging (as with AEA v EHRC) is that policies that says people *must* treat colleagues as if they believe they are the opposite sex, on demand and at all times is unlikely to be lawful

The consensus that seems to be emerging here is that in areas of work & working life where sex matters it cannot be harassment to refer to a person's sex.

So employers need to consider where sex matters & how upset can be reasonably avoided (eg. by providing unisex alternatives)
They need to have reality based conversations w employees e.g. xxx prefers to be called "she", you are asked to do that as a courtesy (or at least not use "he") but we will not interpret this as a statement of belief that they have changed sex or consent to share facilities.

New Online Safety Bill will be a disaster for freedom of speech

It is based on the concept of "Duty of Care": proactive censorship of entirely legal content on the basis of potential psychological harms.

The Duty of Care Framework comes from a consortium of "be kind" NGOs
Also these ones.....
As @IndexCensorship warn "The proponents of the draft Online Safety Bill have created a new construct, the Duty of Care, that bypasses both Parliament and the Courts, in order to create a new framework for private censorship."

A thread about numbers and bravery and institutions

This is CGD's tweet announcing their disappointment in the UK court's decision to protect freedom of belief about sex and gender.

CGD has 6x as many followers as me.

They managed to garner all of 132 likes on this tweet.
It costs nothing to like that tweet. No one will start monitoring what you tweet and report you to your employer.

Yet only 132 people did.
Meanwhile 16,000 liked this announcement

A mix of anonymous accounts and identifiable ones.

More people are getting braver. I am seeing more names and faces everyday.
