As Secretary of State for Culture Media & Sport Lisa, please stand up. Lead from the front not the rear. Women and girls the length & breadth of the country will thank you. Now the Supreme Court has ruled, it couldn't be easier. No female sport category should 'include' any men.

Stonewall & the Guardian can take a bow. The relentless attack on women's single sex services provisions & sports means women have had to insist on their legal rights & boundaries being respected. Notice the article is, as usual, all about male transexuals. Women never get a look in with the Graun.

You know women's groups tried being measured. They tried engaging with opponents. They weren't the ones who insisted on No Debate. They weren't the ones who bullied or censored or threatened or tried to get women sacked for daring to take a different view. The toxicity came mostly from one side.
