At 38 minutes - Robin Moira White "the go to lawyer for trans cases". Some good questions from @Emmabarnett. She has done her homework
bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
Robin gives advice on toilets - both in workplaces and in education. We don't have segregated workplaces any more. there used to be race segregation in NASA. There used to sex segregation.

(dodges the question of why we still have sex segregation in toilets)
Says an example of proportionate means to a legitimate aim of trans exclusion would be "breast screening", a higher degree of nakedness. It may be legitimate to say to a trans user that they need to come at a different time. That is the extreme of the position. [No case law here]

Rosie Duffield being discussed on BBC Politics Live now bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live/b…
@libdemdaisy says "we have to get toxicity out of the culture war debates, we need to find time and place"

Is it a problem that she liked Piers Morgan tweet
Daisy. I would have a problem with that tweet. I am a woman. There are settings, eg. medical settings there is a different language that has to be used for a different reason. People have to use medical language.

The @FawcettSociety 's new code of conduct isquite pointed (and authoritarian)

Section 1 "women and girls in all their diversity" is code for gender id

Section IV suggests @ ing a Trustee could be grounds for expulsion

OLD--> --> NEW
Members have not been invited to vote on the new code of conduct which means that members must not disagree with the replacement of sex by gender.

And public debate will not be tolerated.
Obviously harassment is harassment, but being on Twitter is an invitation to be @'ed into conversations by strangers -- and being a Trustee or senior manager of an NGO seeking to influence policy is being a public figure.

NCVO...... ....also NCVO
Charity bosses: if you want a regulator that is politically impartial and governs without fear or favour then act like it.

LGBAlliance were granted charitable status because they meet the criteria of charity law. Full stop.
Here are the two threads to compare and contrast

Podcast interview between safeguarding lawyers and trans rights and surrogacy lawyers @Farrer_Co

farrer.co.uk/news-and-insig…

Safeguarding lawyers ask about "gender questioning children"

Trans rights lawyers respond about "trans children" 🤨
Robin White talks darkly about orgs that are "not supportive of trans children" raising safeguarding issues & other children's privacy

Says other children just have to get used to there being children in school using opposite sex facilities (but may be some balancing issues)
Dr. Bianca Jackson says that innocuous questions about what sex you are can be transphobic harassment.

Both talk about parents as "supportive" (i.e. gender affirming) or "unsupportive"
