I’m watching day one of For Women Scotland’s Judicial Review application hearing at the Court of Session in Edinburgh. FWS are taking the Scottish Government to court over their (and the Scottish Prisons Service - SPS) policy of housing some men... Image who claim transgender status in women’s prisons. FWS say it is unlawful.

Final day of evidence in Morrison (@SeeRedWoman1) v Belfast Film Festival revisited.

In which we go over the idea that "I’m standing up for the rights of women’" is "a new staple of the anti-LGBTQ anti-lslamic right.”

Actually there's so much in this one I'll do a thread... @SeeRedWoman1 ... of snippets: "Cunningham listed some of the concerns of sex realist campaigners: single sex toilets, men in rape crisis centres, induced lactation in men so babies can suck on their nipples ("that's child abuse, isn't it?" asked Cunningham "I can't comment" said Barros D'Sa)"

Good morning from Killymeal House in Belfast. This is the final day of Morrison v Belfast Film Festival. Closing submissions are currently being read by the judge and there will be a hearing at noon for comments on those submissions, questions and clarifications. I will... Image NC the 3 July email - its status appears to be in doubt in this claim. SD does not deal with it in his subs. As a matter of fact the 3 July must be dealt with - even if SD persuades you it was not part of C's pleaded case. It's nevertheless of enormous relevance

Drama here at the beginning of Day 5 of Morrison v BFF in Belfast. Morrison's legal team have informed the judge that they will not be ready to start until 2pm. The judge is livid. Says it is not for counsel to dictate when court sits. Neither barrister representing Morrison is in court. Her solicitor Simon Chambers is fielding the questions. Judge said she is "disgusted" by being so "heavily disrespected" by one side.
