A male employee starts wearing women's clothing to work and receives 20 comments over the course of a year.

The majority of which are more awkward than abusive

Is awarded enough money to buy a house

And employer signs legal agreement w EHRC equalityhumanrights.com/en/our-work/ne… ImageImageImage
I am struck by the contrast between this and the hostile, degrading, humiliating and offensive environment the likes of Kathleen Stock, Shereen Benjamin, Michele Moore, Jo Phoenix have just been expected to put up with.
Cambridge University Students Union thinks it's ok to publish guidance like this.

A bit more on the global funding story

(AKA: where is my right wing money?)
@victor_madrigal 's report quotes from Meet the Moment : A call for Progressive Philanthropic Response to the Anti Gender Movement by the Global Philanthropy Project group of LGBT funders
They report how anti-gender movements "funnel" money overseas (sounds dodgy doesn't it?)

Trying to use the Equality Act to remove safeguards on sterilising gender non conforming kids
goodlawproject.org/update/healthc…
This is shocking.

Being a transgender is not (so they say) a medical condition.

The Equality Act protected characteristic does not require medical diagnosis.

Yet the EqA protected characteristic is being used as a lever to remove safeguards from extreme medical treatment
Their case is that whatever safeguards are put in place around "trans children" should be compared to "non trans children": as if the EqA was there to protect people's right to be sterilised without consent!

No one is sterilising non trans children to make them look better

This is Erica Anderson, clinical psychologist at the University of California San Francisco’s Child and Adolescent Gender Clinic, transwoman WPATH Board member
They are saying the things that have got @ALLIANCELGB and @Transgendertrd called "Hate Groups" by Stonewall and Mermaids, that have got @JamesEsses investigated, James Caspian's research stopped, & @LisaLittman1 & Abigail Shrier hounded.

Q "has the TERF responsible been fired" ...
A"its an understandable but incorrect assumption that a TERF was responsible"

This is extraordinarily unprofessional & concerning from @RainbowNHSBadge scheme.

40 NHS Trusts are part of the "NHS Rainbow Badge assessment model"
Try that exchange substituting a slur for a person with any other protected characteristic in place of "TERF" and ask yourself if this is an acceptable way for a public body to behave?
The scheme is a collaboration of @LGBTfdn @stonewalluk @LGBTConsortium @LGBTSwitchboard and @GLADDUK

Several of those orgs signed a letter condemning @ehrc for recognising that people w gender critical beliefs are protected by S.10 of the Equality Act
