In an Insta post, UN Women claims that “anti-rights movements” – its deceptive label for sex-based rights campaigners – are on the rise
UN Women claims campaigners are putting “the lives of LGBTIQ+ people at risk” – a dangerous and irresponsible statement that has been refuted time after time
UN Women also says women’s-rights campaigners use “hateful propaganda and disinformation to target LGBTIQ+ people”....
… and that opponents of gender-identity ideology “falsely portray” the rights of LGBTIQ+ people as competing with women’s rights
UN Women absurdly denies that “trans women” – men who ID as women – can pose a threat to the rights, spaces and safety of “cisgender” women
UN Women signposts followers to an “explainer” that is full of gender-identity propaganda and misinformation:
“Trans rights” – men’s demands to ID as women – are obviously incompatible with women’s rights. To conceal this, UN Women conflates the absurd claim that people can change sex with rights for LGB people
It is outrageous to call women’s-rights campaigners opposing a global tidal wave of gender-identity ideology an “anti-rights movement”. UN Women does NOT stand up for women

The Data Bill is back in the House of Lords this afternoon.
Sex Matters has had a letter from @peterkyle which he asks us to share with supporters.
We are pleased that the government has recognised the issue about sex data accuracy
But we are not reassured that it is taking adequate action.
We wrote back explaining the problem again.
1⃣The govt says: “It is for public authorities to decide if they wish to share data, which data they wish to share and to ensure that data is accurate for the purpose for which it is being used.”
This is not how digital identities will work! Public authorities will not know the purpose for which a person's data is requested, only that they have consented to share it.
The system will allow males to apply for jobs as "female" carers using the government endorsed apps.
@hen10freeman says she needs female only care to maintain her comfort, dignity and safety.
The new digital ID system, will play havoc with the ability of companies such as gym chains and public bodies like the NHS and police to ascertain someone’s sex.
It will be based on unreliable data but will mark it as "verified"
The fallout from the Supreme Court judgment is continuing thick and fast this week, and Sex Matters has been busy!
Some organisations recognise that they need to change their practices, and others resist. The EHRC put out a very clear interim update on the practical implications of the judgment. equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre/i…
On Tuesday, I joined @ForWomenScot’s Susan Smith, the EHRC’s Akua Reindorf and Prof Alice Sullivan to brief a cross-party meeting of MPs and peers organised by Labour Women’s Declaration, Conservatives for Women and Liberal Voice for Women, chaired by Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi.
