Good grief @carolinenokes this is abysmal

Did you not even read what the GRA requires? There is no panel judging if you are "feminine or masculine enough" - this is complete fantasy. Pure propaganda

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The panel assesses the evidence submitted - paperwork of change of name and title/ gender markers over 2 years

assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
And two doctors reports
That is it. They check if the statutory declaration bis correctly made, and if there are marriage and divorce certificates.

It is very worrying you are proposing law reform based on a fairy tale about how it currently works.
Thousands of people put in thousands of hours providing evidence in good faith, and this is the best you can do?

I am appalled.

UCU's bar chart is a crime-against-data-visualisation, which buries what its own survey data shows:

80% of respondents to their survey who said they had direct experience of sexual violence at work were women.

What sex were the perpetrators?

UCU didn't bother asking.
Bar charts like these with percentages and fixed overall lengths are usually read as 100% bar charts - each coloured slab is a proportion of the whole.

But in UCU's the percentages don't add up, because each one is a percentage of something else.

Its misdirection
It is a self selected survey (likely to attract people concerned about sexual violence and more likely to have been victims).

66% of respondents were women, 32% men, 2% trans/NB

And out of those who said they had experienced sexual violence 80% women, 16% men, 4% trans/NB

The Domestic Abuse Commissioner today launched a survey.

It does not ask your sex.

Does. Not. Ask. Your. Sex

😢
People have different needs and the survey is to tell government what those needs are.

But @CommissionerDA has already decided that there are no needs that are different depending on sex.

Everything must be mixed sex.

She is not even going to collect data on sex.
The @CommissionerDA says that their work abides by the @womensaid Research Integrity Framework

The government published and then unpublished the "easy reading" version of the consultation.

Luckily @SexMattersOrg saved a copy

The easy reading guide shows how poorly thought out this legislation is.

It reveals that the ban would target teachers
"Conversion therapy is an an attempt to change ... the gender you want to be"

Sexual orientation means "the gender you are attracted to"

On @BBCWomansHour at 10: Interview with @stonewalluk Nancy Kelley

I hope @Emmabarnett challenges her on comparing women who won't pretend that they can't see sex to anti-semites, and lesbians to racists if they rule out dating any men.

bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
Also how she thinks their guidance to allow males to self ID into "female" spaces (changing rooms, toilets, showers at work, uni etc..) accommodates Muslim, Sikh, Jewish women ...
Emma: why do you want to do the job.
Nancy: I am a lesbian. I am married. I adopted children. My life has been transformed.
So to repay Stonewall for its work for LGBTQ people
