Europe just said trans women must be recognised within gender equality protections. At the same time, UK law is moving in a different direction.
Follow for clear explanations of what the law actually says. ⚖️

Almost everyone is getting this judgment wrong.
The law treats workplaces and public venues differently.
Which means a trans person could have to use one toilet while working — and another when they clock off.
Make it make sense. ⚖️

“None of us are free until all of us are free” - Fannie Lou Hamer, civil rights activist.
We’re debating “trans rights” like trans people are one thing.
They’re not.

The Hampstead Heath ponds remain trans-inclusive! Yay 🥳 Well done @goodlawproject.org and team.
The law backed consultation, not exclusion. The challenge was brought too early and by a group with no standing.
Thoughts?

“If gender is a construct, why does it matter?”
Something being constructed does not mean it is not real.
It means humans built it and humans can change it.

“Trans people are ruining sports, right?”
No. That is fear, not facts.
There is no evidence that trans inclusion destroys sport. That is why rules are sport specific, not blanket bans.

“Why is everyone trans now?”
Gender diversity is not new. The panic around it is.

Men say they’re trans to get into women’s spaces…right?
Funny how the loudest fears rarely match the facts.

Figure 1. IJDL sole authorship and co-authorship over three periods. Sole-authored publications have fallen from nearly nine-out-of-ten in the first 33 issues to a little over two-thirds in the most recent 34 issues. Co-authorship almost tripled between the first 33 issues and the second 33 before falling back a little in the third tranche as multiple authorship increased (with papers authored by three people almost doubling while papers authored by a greater number, while still marking up a small proportion, increased nearly 10-fold from just over 0.6% to around 6%).
Figure 5. Frequency of characteristics appearing in the abstracts of the IJDL 1995-2025. From this it can be inferred that there is a wide coverage but disability, sex and race are the most covered topics over the years, with disability sustaining a marked increase from 1995 to 2005 in the following two decades. While race looks to have fallen back each decade, if the ethnic and national origins phrasings are included the decline is less marked. A greater focus on religion and belief, as protection evolved, and in abstracts mentioning pregnant women/pregnancy is also marked.

The EHRC pulled its single-sex guidance - but your role isn’t over!
They’ve deleted the page, not the plan.
Now’s the time to act: write to your MP and tell Bridget Phillipson to send the code back.

‘ #DisabilityCuts will have a “devastating” impact on women’s health & dignity & could breach #EqualityLaw... tightening eligibility for #PIP would mean disabled Women being discriminated against, due to their higher personal care needs compared with men.'
