1-The case hinges on whether “sex” in the Equality Act refers to biological sex or legal sex established by a GRC. A ruling will not change the legislation itself but will provide clarity on how these laws interact and are interpreted.

World feminism in crisis: Palestine and the betrayal of solidarity

Palestinian women have been failed by the feminist movement overall, argues MARYAM ALDOSSARI, calling for a return to principled solidarity instead of selective outrage and dehumanising narratives

Don’t forget how the anti abortionists respond to a woman dying, her children left without a mother. Believe them when they show you who they are.

Addressing the definition of ‘legal sex’:

"It creates significant inconsistencies, which impair the proper functioning of the Equality Act and jeopardise the rights and interests of women and same-sex attracted people."

Sign our open letter in support of @sarahsurviving.bsky.social

A victim-survivor she is asking Brighton' #RapeCrisis service to provide single-sex support services.

Women in Brighton are self-excluding from life-saving service. This has to change.

Queen of Hearts,1909 by Margaret Macdonald, one of the defining artists of the Glasgow School

Symetrical artwork featuring a stylised central white female figure wearing an ornate headdress or crown and long robe or cloak in gold and with details of lines and small red hearts on the borders, in front of her chin is a red rose motif and to each side of her head is a small white childish face, all on a dark blue background bordered by a dashed line

What complete nonsense.
We don't pick & choose which females we share females public toilets with.
But the female ones include all females.
Across the political spectrum.
And exclude all males.
We don't police entry based on political allegiance.
