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

“I don't have any bad feelings about trans people, I just don't believe they should be in the women's changing room”
@libby_brooks quotes Sandie Peggie in a report on the final days of the tribunal for @guardian theguardian.com/society/2025/j…
Bumper daily coverage of Sandie Peggie’s tribunal continues 🧵
Sandie Peggie’s daughter hits back at NHS Fife manager’s claim mum didn’t like her being gay @alasdair_clark @thecourieruk thecourier.co.uk/fp/politics/52…
The tribunal of Sandie Peggie v NHS Fife resumed this week, and I am in Dundee to watch some of the hearing, with Sandie and her family, and with supporters from Scotland and beyond.
Many more have been following online, reading @tribunaltweets or watching the daily reports by Dr Michael Foran:
I first heard about Sandie’s case in January 2024, when @JNHanvey sent Sex Matters a message:
“Hi folks, I have a constituent who has been a staff nurse in our local A&E for over 20 years. She has been suspended for requesting privacy in the changing room. She’s premenopausal and found herself in a bit of a bind. A doctor who is a trans-identifying man refused to give her privacy and claimed her request was bullying. Many colleagues share her concerns, but are too frightened to say anything. Looks like her employer is misinformed of the law and her union RCN appears to be offering very weak support.”
The @EHRC has said that duty-bearers should not delay in acting following the Supreme Court’s clarification of the meaning of sex in law.
Despite this, the Scottish Government has written to us saying that it does not agree that it is “appropriate or straightforward to take immediate steps” to bring its policies in line with the law.
Extraordinarily, one of the reasons it gives for not acting swiftly is that the @GoodLawProject is bringing a legal challenge against the @EHRC for its interpretation of the workplace regulations.
Our pressure on @scotgov is hitting the headlines 🧵
“It simply needs to confirm that it accepts the court’s ruling in practice, and to revoke its previous guidance... Nothing more needs to change — except the security and peace of mind for women using the facilities.”
