Louder for people in the back: the court rules trans women are not prevented from using women's spaces. Also your weekly reminder from a business school professor that trans status is still a protected category under the Equalities Act (2010).
The kind of judgement the media could easily trumpet as "TRANS WOMEN ARE NOT PREVENTED FROM USING WOMEN'S SPACES, COURT RULES."
But instead they lead with the complainant (regarded by the Tribunal as an unreliable witness) winning some procedural issues against her employer.

Decision in the Sandie Peggie case.
She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...

My mum tried to get me an autism diagnosis in the 80s and they just stared at her. Now I'm finally about to get one, something me & my GP feel will address my anxiety better than HRT, Labour might Fk it up. AARRGGHHHHH
Will Streeting’s review of mental illness, autism and ADHD just be another Sewell or Cass (gaslighting the nation into agreeing with pre-decided government policy/ideology)?

You can add exemptions to immigration rules for different groups, it doesn't make a blind bit of difference. When you say that migrants are second class and "less than" others, as this government is doing, that feeds through to everyone. Migrants aren't a disposable resource to pick and choose from.

All those people, including current government, who falsely claim migrants are to blame for failings with the NHS, along with infrastructure in general, are in for one hell of a shock with how much worse things will get with Labour's anti-immigration policies.

Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

I hope Nigel Farage is just about to switch off his phone for the night when he sees a post that annoys him and he can't quite google the fact which will put the other person in their place even though he keeps amending his search terms.

Tomorrow it will have been 47 years since I lost my dad.
Ridiculous amount of time, but I still remember his voice, the smell of his hair and his bony thighs.
