Breaking: @UN_Women says gender-critical activists are an “anti-rights movement” 🧵

@DerryBanShee in @thetimes:

“It’s a sad day when UN Women lectures women’s rights campaigners on the need to include men with transgender identities in our work.”

thetimes.com/uk/society/art…
In an Insta post, UN Women claims that “anti-rights movements” – its deceptive label for sex-based rights campaigners – are on the rise Image
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 Image
UN Women also says women’s-rights campaigners use “hateful propaganda and disinformation to target LGBTIQ+ people”.... Image
… and that opponents of gender-identity ideology “falsely portray” the rights of LGBTIQ+ people as competing with women’s rights Image
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 Image
UN Women signposts followers to an “explainer” that is full of gender-identity propaganda and misinformation:

unwomen.org/en/news-storie…
“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

🧵 There is no reason to think that professing a gender identity makes a person less likely to fit the offending patterns usual for their sex.

In fact, prison data suggests that trans-identifying males may even be more likely to commit sex offences than other men. Image
Evidence of trans-identifying men, male crossdressers and other men with various gender identities committing vile sexual crimes is piling up.
Philip Tarver, a habitual cross-dresser, wore a negligee while stabbing his 86-year-old disabled mother in the heart before decapitating her and putting the head in the freezer. Image

Update from Maya!

@bphillipsonMP has promised to present the long-awaited code of  practice by Parliament this month.

If she is going to meet her deadline, the parliamentary timetable means that in practice she has to do it in just a few days’ time 🧵Image
The code, when it comes, will provide a detailed explanation of the single-sex and separate-sex exceptions as applied in different kinds of single-sex services, with lots of practical examples.
Perhaps its most important function will be to stop duty-bearers repeating endlessly that the reason they haven’t changed unlawful policies in the year-plus since the Supreme Court judgment in the case of For Women Scotland is that they are “waiting for guidance”.

On the one-year anniversary of @ForWomenScot’s Supreme Court ruling, criticism of the government for delays & inaction dominates the headlines.

#OneYearLater #BuyAPaper Image
In a double page spread, @David_Churchill and @martinbeckford wrote for @DailyMail on inaction across UK schools, hospitals and councils.

Poll after poll shows how deeply unpopular gender ideology is among voters across the political spectrum, so “why are these councils wasting time and resources on motions that criticise the Supreme Court judgment?” @DerryBanShee in the @Telegraph

BREAKING: The High Court has dismissed the Good Law Project’s challenge to the EHRC interim guidance on single and separate-sex facilities.

Mr Justice Swift endorsed the EHRC update as an accurate statement of the law for employers & service providers.
The update says service providers and employers can only provide lawful separate sex facilities based on sex, and suggested where possible they offer a unisex alternative.
GLP was judged not to have standing as it lacked “sufficient interest”. The anonymous claimants did have standing, and so their substantive arguments were considered.

This is what lack of leadership looks like.

The government says it has “always been clear” that employers should not wait for the services code of practice and should get on with updating their policies.

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…Image
But in December, the head of the civil service told us that the Cabinet Office will not withdraw its own workplace policy for the whole of the civil service… until the EHRC’s services code of practice is published.

So across government departments, unlawful policies remain and everyone is “waiting for the EHRC”.

The NHS Confederation (the employers’ organisation for the NHS in England) is also refusing to update its workplace guidance… until the services code comes out. Image

The judgment in Sandie Peggie vs NHS Fife and Dr Upton has been published.

We are pleased that Sandie Peggie has won her claim of harassment against NHS Fife, and that the hospital trust was criticised for its terrible handling of the complaint against her. Image
This is a long judgment and it will take time to analyse it fully.

judiciary.uk/judgments/sand…
We are disappointed the tribunal sought to reach a spurious “balance” between a woman’s right to undress with privacy & dignity, and the right of an employee w the PC of gender reassignment not to be discriminated against in employment.
