WHEN DID THE EXCEPTION BECOME THE RULE? Single-sex services are permitted under the Equality Act in particular circumstances. But are we increasingly treating the exception as the default? #EqualityAct #TransRights

Who gets questioned in single-sex spaces? Social policing may affect not only trans people, but anyone perceived as not “looking” like they belong. Who is most at risk of this scrutiny? Share your thoughts below. #TransRights #EqualityLaw

WHAT DOES THE EHRC CODE SAY ABOUT NON-BINARY PEOPLE? Despite the headlines, the Code does appear to recognise protections for at least some non-binary and genderfluid people. So what does that mean in practice? Here it is in 6 points. #EHRC #NonBinary #GenderFluid

Just so we are clear: The 83yo priest on the left is a terrorist. The balaclava-clad men on the right are protestors with legitimate concerns

Foreign donations are illegal, but British billionaires shouldn’t be able to buy influence either. 83% think the rich use donations for personal gain. Andy Burnham must keep his promise to cap them not backtrack yet again

ARE GRCs NOW MEANINGLESS? After For Women Scotland, a trans person with a GRC can be recognised as their acquired sex for some legal purposes, but treated according to biological sex under the Equality Act. So what is the function of a GRC now? #TransRights #GRC #EqualityAct

Dolly Parton stood for LGBTQ+ people - when politicians didn't. She courageously took a stand for trans people when they were targeted and attacked. That's one part of her life certain people would love to erase!

If you lied like this in a normal job you’d be sacked, why is white Reform leader George Finch still in office? Why are our journos who’ve been clutching their pearls defending publishing stories in the public interest not hounding him for fabricating complaints & lying to his constituents 🤨 ?

Clip from Stephen Bartlett's recent interview with mitochondrial researcher Dr Martin Picard. Bartlett says the top question on Martin’s videos was about #MECFS and #LongCOVID, but he's not sure what #MECFS is. Interesting, given the earseeds controversy.

“We have many migrants who make a deeply valuable contribution to our country, including in our healthcare & hospitality sectors. We don't want this to be used to divide people/fuel hostility." Why is it being left to affected families to say this while politicians talk about "legitimate concerns"?
