It’s 100 days since the Supreme judgment. 100 days during which @Girlguiding could have looked at their dreadful ‘inclusive’ policies and changed them.

Reader, they have not.

This thread 🧵 may distress you if you thought your daughter’s welfare and safeguarding were a priority.
1/

Their section on what the law says makes no mention of the Supreme Court judgment of 16th April.

The Equality Act is referred to, but if there is any review of policies since the judgment, it’s not apparent.

It’s hard to know where to start when it comes to their policies. Let’s start though with their approach to who can occupy a ‘woman only’ role.

Their current policy still online (link in thread) permits men to identify in.

Who can forget this particular ‘woman’?👇

THREAD. 🧵
“I honestly could not believe what I was reading when I saw this survey. As a gender critical police officer, I have been openly called a 'nazi, 'fascist', 'militant' and 'obtuse' - just for expressing my views post-Forstater".

This National Police Chiefs’ (NPCC) survey 👇 has been circulated to officers and staff nationally following the Supreme Court judgment. A serving police officer leaked the survey to us and shared their shock.

We suggest the NPCC (the head honchos of every UK police force) just need to follow the law. Now.

(WRN will not share the link to this survey publicly)
1/

The officer said:
"There is no mention of the horrendous treatment of gender critical people and, indeed, it actually goes above and beyond to imply my abusers might be the actual victims of the ruling".

"I have no hope that the current NPCC might do the decent thing and kick ideology out of policing once and for all. They seem intent on destroying the trust of the public, undermining the law and trashing what little morale there is left within the rank and file”.

Read on – and brace yourselves.
2/

Unbelievably, survey responses are sought to help the Chief Constables (the heads of each police force) to identify what now needs to be done and to detail how this ‘emotive and deeply personal’ subject effects them.

After the initial sorting hat questions, survey respondents are asked how they feel about the judgment.

Because apparently, the NPCC’s shared focus is on ‘creating a safe and inclusive environment’.

Silly us, we thought legal compliance would be the shared focus. They are the police after all.

Lines on the retirement of Thomas Bach

So. Farewell then Thomas Bach
9th President of the IOC

Your tenure in the top job
Has been marred
By scandal
After scandal

From which you have emerged
Smelling of roses,
Until the boxing debacle.

Men punching
Women
For sport
Was frankly
A step too far.

Stepping down
From the top job
Is the best thing
You’ve ever done

(with apologies to the late EJ Thribb)

Let us count the ways Thomas Bach has destroyed women’s sport …

The darkest day in Olympic women’s sport has to be 1st August 2024 when Angela Carini became the first woman boxer to square up against a male. IOC-sanctioned violence against women.

That’s on you Thomas Bach. #NonEGiusto

Allowing a convicted child rapist to compete at Paris 2024 was a new low. Passing the buck by blaming the Dutch Olympic Federation was par for the course. You could have introduced rules banning athletes, coaches and officials with criminal convictions but nahhh, it’s only women … nothing to see here.

What would you do if you spotted a long-haired man in a bikini exiting the female changing rooms at your local swimming pool?

Alan’s immediate instinct, as the lifeguard on duty, was to report the incident to his managers as a failure of safeguarding good practice. 🚩

The managers at Wilmslow Leisure Centre, run by @EBLeisure where Alan worked, saw things differently. Alan was told that anyone may self-identify into the changing room that ‘aligns with their gender’. Nothing to see here.

What happened next was astonishing . . . 1/ 5

Alan knew that a male in a female changing room was a RED FLAG for danger. He, and his colleagues, had no idea that the company operated a Trans Policy that allowed males into the female changing areas. A letter signed by 18 employees, querying the safeguarding risks of the policy was sent to management. At which point Alan was called in for a dressing down . . . 2/5

Alan’s manager questioned whether he had actually seen a man emerging from the female changing room. He was accused of coercing or even forcing people into signing the letter to senior management and was accused of being ‘transphobia’.

At the time of the incident, in July 2024, Everybody Health and Leisure was following the @_UKActive Transgender Access Guidance, which was withdrawn after the Supreme Court ruling.

The operator recently said:
“We will provide suitable alternative facilities for transgender customers”.

Women’s Rights Network launches its Red Flag Campaign this week to highlight the dangers of mixed-sex leisure centre changing rooms for women and children. Nearly 90% of sexual crimes in leisure centre changing rooms are committed in mixed-sex facilities. 1/6

There are NO single-sex changing facilities in ONE-THIRD of local authority swimming pools in the UK providing easy hunting grounds for predatory males seeking access to women and children in a state of undress. 2/6womensrights.network/post/leisure-c…

We know mixed-sex changing facilities are high-risk. In a 2018 FOI investigation there were 134 complaints of sexual misconduct in sports centres and swimming pools in the UK, 120 (nearly 90%) occurred in mixed facilities. 3/6

BRACE YOURSELVES 🚨
What would be your conclusion about an official internal police document that noted the terms ‘TERF’ and ‘FART’ to describe GC women, yet didn’t condemn these?

Would you think that the police had actively ‘taken a side’ rather than remaining impartial?

You’d be right. Read on ….
1/7

The recently withdrawn ‘Transgender Handbook’, for officers and staff in @swpolice does just that.

They’ll need to hastily rewrite this given the Supreme Court judgment of course.
We suggest they also examine their attitude to dissenting women (who were right all along).

…6-400d-9bf4-401a61daaa40.usrfiles.com/ugd/a86851_341…

This section on ‘Gender Critical Beliefs’ 👇makes clear that the ‘approach of policing’ must not be challenged.
The approach being one that will not listen to women who challenge them.

Because this is a police force that is VERY clear where its allegiances lie.
