Been seeing folks talk about lobbying and it reminded me of this thread I did on replying to someone.
We do need to do a diversity of tactics when fighting. And that Includes lobbying MPs and the government.

I kinda get fed up of this "one or the other" approach to how people approach organising.
A diversity of tactics is essential.
Violent tactics are just one tool in the toolkit when you fight for change.
But non violent approaches are also another tool.

Imagine if all the money spent on lawsuits went into things like improving the pond or maintaining it?
This whole lawsuit by sex matters is so stupid.

Okay, time to send my second open letter: there should be no obstacles to our local democratic process. If any public general laws stand in the way, Parliament should be petitioned for a private bill that grants an exemption.

The Levy review is so boring to read as a document.
When I was reading the Cass review. It was a rubbish document that you looked at with horror.
Levy is just dry nothing. And feels like it doesn't change too much.

New research maps the campaign to erase trans people from UK data 🔢
This peer-reviewed article offers the first detailed account of how UK campaign groups have sought to define sex as strictly biological across the census, policing, healthcare and digital ID.

Reached out to a couple orgs and got responses. It ain't looking good...
Time for me to reach out to some trans orgs to see if they had the EHRC proactively reach out to them.
Due to it being the weekend I imagine I'm not gonna get much till Monday.
But if you run or are a part of a trans org. Let me know if they've reached out to you!

The effective conclusion of the ET is that trans people have to use third spaces. I think based on very poor legal analysis and uncritical adoption of "gender critical" talking points. But as I say, not binding, and all the relevant issues hopefully to be decided shortly by the High Court.

The judgement looks like a gigantic mess.
I will be seeing what kind of fightback is planned following this.
This had to drop a day after we recorded a podcast episode didn't it?...

As 2025 pulls to a close. I thought I'd put together a little end of year thoughts thread.
So when 2025 started, I didn't realise it was gonna be this crazy. At the start of the year I kicked things off by releasing my Tavistock whistleblowers article.

Well, ive finished reading tge Levy review - need some time to digest before commenting in detail.
However.
A good chunk of it appears to directly relate to issues I revealed through my initial GIC Report and this years Data Dashboard - so i feel *thoroughly* vindicated in doing that work.

Right, what a tiring day.
Been at work for all of that so I need to comb through some of the levy review tonight.
Fortunately the majority of the team have been going through it and we were braced for the worst, but fortunately it isn't the worst.
