Delighted to publish thread of brilliant speeches at our public meeting #LWDBrighton at #Lab21. Tonia Antoniazzi MP: "There is no way that it is fair for a male-bodied person to be on a sports pitch with a woman in a contact sport".

Outside, steward Ali Ceesay said, "That noise is a perfect example of drowning out women's voices in this debate. I don't have any hate for anyone - we're just here to support women's rights, and every time we try to speak we get harassed". #LWDBrighton
Chair Ceri Williams welcomes attendees: "As Labour supporters, don't we all wish that the Labour front bench had spent just 30 seconds listening to Emma's biology lesson... Maybe she can tell us if dinosaurs have a cervix". #LWDBrighton #Lab21
Jon Pike @runthinkwrite: "If you want to believe, contrary to scientific knowledge, there are five sexes, then you've been 'had'... you should have no influence on our policy or manifesto". #LWDBrighton #Lab21
Emma Hilton @FondOfBeetles: "Males and females are built differently... a baby is held safely in place by - pay attention - the CERVIX. That's just one of the many important functions of the cervix, an amazing part of a woman's body. #LWDBrigton #Lab21
Here's the slide Emma Hilton @FondOfBeetles is using in her basic biology lesson for @UKLabour front bench (including .@DavidLammy!) at our #LWDBrighton public meeting.

Thread in particular for @UKLabour MPs in advance of the 2nd reading on Fri 1st March of @lloyd_rm's Private Members Bill to #BanConversionPractices.
A good place to start is this legal analysis from Gay Men's Network:
gaymensnetwork.com/letters-and-re…
We share Gay Men's Network's conclusion:
"Our position is a bill based on the self-reported phenomenon of “identity” & the wide term “suppress” might, despite best efforts, perversely fuel the very problem that it intends to solve".
A CP Ban is a solution in search of a problem.
LWD met with Lloyd very briefly &, as with other groups who met him, he was friendly but made it clear that at this stage we would be wasting our short time slot if we talked about how the Bill would have negative consequences for young people, girls & lesbians in particular.

"LWD has won a significant policy shift & also has 2 fringe meetings listed in party's conference guide
..but has now learned it will not have a stall there this year. The politicians who applied [on their behalf] are baffled..

"..Lord Hunt calls it 'authoritarian & short-sighted' & points to 'a chilling effect of the years of 'no debate' in Labour'. Diana Johnson, due to speak at one of the fringes, says conference delegates will be 'denied opportunity' to discuss with LWD due to the rejection..

"Starmer is clearly more comfortable sticking his neck out on gender politics...
But he's seen that the tectonic plates have shifted under his feet: now the campaigners he has to listen to are the ones his party previously felt were safe to ignore."

"The court says... a GRC changes whether someone is a woman or a man for the law governing single sex services and anti-discrimination measures." Thread for @AnasSarwar @jackiebmsp and all who care about @ScottishLabour manifesto commitments. #NoToSelfID
murrayblackburnmackenzie.org/2022/12/13/mbm…
First up, single-sex grassroots sports. From women-only swimming sessions to clubs for teenage girls, providers are already scared to make separate provision on the basis of sex. Opening up GRCs to a larger, undefined group will make it impossible to address this. #NoToSelfID
The girls and women who most need single-sex sports opportunities - including from some religious groups, and those who've experienced male violence - will likely self-exclude from 'single-sex' opportunities if they can't be sure that they are female only.

Failures of leadership in @ScottishLabour have seen a refusal to openly discuss women's rights and gender recognition reform. The result is incoherent policy and ineffective challenges to @ScotGov's flawed and hurried process. A thread.
#NoToSelfID
dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…
In November 2021 @ScottishLabour's Women's Conference called for the party to "lead on finding a route forward that respects the rights of women and trans people through empathetic and respectful dialogue". @ScottishLabour should be well placed to do that.
labouroutlook.org/2021/12/22/sco…
But prevarication and lack of resource/political will saw the promised consultation with women members delayed for nearly a year. When it happened it was poorly publicised and women members have yet to see the report which we understand was discussed by SEC last weekend.

Thread.
In the week of #GIDs closure & #AllisonBaileyWins..
@UKLabour doubles down on its refusal of our conference stand application.
With result that MPs Diana Johnson, Feryal Clark, Steve McCabe, Tonia Antoniazzi, Marsha De Cordova, Rosie Duffield & Mary Glindon go on record..
..with backing of @UKLabour Peers @HayteratLords @LordPhilofBrum Estelle Morris, Tony Young, @DavidTriesman, in support of our application for a stand at #LabourConference22.
Scroll down to third letter "Labour must reconsider ban"
theguardian.com/theobserver/co…
Following initial refusals @HayteratLords offered live on air on @BBCWomansHour to take a larger stand when told that smaller stands were taken.
But then on 27 July the party's Business Board ruled our application should be rejected "on commercial grounds"
