#EHRCGuidance

1/

A constituent writes to her MP, asking him in no uncertain terms to *support* the EHRC guidance. 2/ By “no uncertain terms”, we mean she begins:

“I am a constituent of [place] and I would like to express my *support* for the draft EHRC Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions and Associations that has just been laid before Parliament”.

Clear?

You’d have thought!

It is concerning that Clive Lewis, an MP, should reveal himself so ignorant of the Supreme Court Judgement, which is perfectly clear, not confusing in the least, and clarifies a law passed in 2010.

The Supreme Court Judgement: 🧵

1/-

We applaud the judgement of the Supreme Court in #fws that “sex” in the Equality Act means, & has always meant, biological sex, & that this cannot be altered by possession of a Gender Recognition Certificate. 2/-

In law - as in reality - transwomen remain men and transmen remain women.

One of our members who was at the Vigil for Women in Afghanistan which Green Councillor Charlie Caine abused & harassed, calling them “Nazis, bigots, transphobes” has just been told by a @NorwichGreens canvasser that it’s “all a pack of lies” & “made up by a journalist”.

We have questions!

- is this the official party line, @NorwichGreens?

- is the party aware that, in accepting “words of advice” from the police, Cllr Caine has accepted responsibility for a public order offence & agreed not to do it again?

For those wondering WHY @NorfolkLibs (Norfolk Libraries), run by @NorfolkCC, has refused to display this poster

from the Norwich Womens Rights Group & @WRNNorfolk - local branches of a network of grassroots women’s groups @WomensRightsNet fighting for the rights of women & girls here & internationally…

It seems some staff at @NorfolkLibs @MillenniumLib object to being told not to promote self harm, body mutilation & injecting steroids as a path to “joy” to kids. 🧵

edp24.co.uk/news/24259879.… As usual absolutely no argument other than cries of “bigot!” “haters!”.

And of course the TRAs remain anonymous, and refused to comment when the original story was published.

What happened when we complained to @NorfolkLibs about @MillenniumLib gruesome display of body mutilation & drug promotion in the name of “Trans Joy”?

Several of us got this anonymous reply from @NorfolkLibs.

“The display at the Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library *was planned to be in place for a short period* as part of our programme of events, and is no longer in place…”

Interesting…

Why is
@MillenniumLib @NorfolkLibs @NorfolkCC promoting drug use & body mutilation to children & teenagers, especially to young women, under the banner of “TransJoy”?

Here is the @MillenniumLib announcing their delight in partnering with Trans Day of Visibility Gallery by Norwich Trans Pride.

Notice the photo does not show the artworks.

Very wise.

8/ Although @SportsparkUEA declines to answer questions about their legal duties, safeguarding policies, staff training & attitude to sex offences committed on their premises, users have been sent a LOT of words.

Here are some of them: retweet if you think it’s cut & paste: 9/ @SportsparkUEA Marketing & Communications manager wrote:

“We want to provide some reassurance about the current situation around the use of changing spaces at the Sportspark.“

We’d rather have answers to our questions.

The “con” in “con trick” is “confidence”.

Norwich City Council @NorwichCC has *unanimously* adopted the motion that trans women are women, trans men are men...
We want to ask lead Councillors some questions about the implications of this policy.
Thread.🧵 Cllr Adam Giles (leading on sport and leisure) if TWAW does that mean that the women-only swimming session in the council-run Riverside leisure centre is open to anyone who says they are a woman and it doesn’t matter if Muslim women and others stay away as a result?
