TEN sends open letter to Women's Institute over its new Gender Critical Ideology. It mentions Peggie v Fife (eg the findings that Dr Upton was the one harassed, it was correct not to exclude her, that a trans woman poses no more threat to a cis woman than a cis woman does). Attached.

Thanks Philiippa. HSE‘s response confirms that the obligation to “provide facilities” does not require employers to *control access* to the facilities based on birth sex (e.g. discipline employees who use a toilet not matching their birth sex). This is a vital distinction in practice, and in law.

If you have a friend or know someone who is trans, PLEASE don't go around telling people that person is transgender.
You are putting them in danger!
It's not your place to tell people this.
If you truly love them, you will protect them.

It has come to my attention that many of you have been sharing this photo of Streeting and Mandelson widely.
Please remember that Wes Streeting does not like it being shared widely. So please do not share it widely and on every possible occasion. We wouldn’t want to upset him would we?

Trans friend of mine, someone I've known for almost forty years, throughout her transition and everything she went through to become who she was all along...
...was assaulted is ASDA yesterday, by a security guard. Told her 'men were not allowed the ladies' loo' and physically dragged her out.

This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”

Here's the problem - the right make up a story and the media plaster it everywhere.
The left tell a true story and the media ignore it.
The right hasn't actually 'hijacked' anything. The right have been given an open door while the left - the majority - are barricaded away.

Spot on @johnharris1969.bsky.social. The Right are hijacking Englishness with narratives of exclusion, exceptionalism & imperial nostalgia,& progressives haven’t even got onto the bloody pitch. We urgently need to tell more compelling stories of who we are #AnotherEngland👇

Something I keep coming back to is that the whole interpretation falls apart once you acknowledge that trans women can breastfeed and therefore should be protected under s17(4). It's the clearest example of the human rights incompatibility of the FWS interpretation (there's no "clash" of rights).

Is there any reason "sex" couldn't have a unified meaning as an umbrella term for a cluster of related things, in the same way that "race" contains the meanings of colour, ethnicity and national origin?
