TransLucent.Org.Uk Well. They were happy to publish our picture, but couldn't be bothered to ask us why we were there, nor make any reference to us in their story. Not good enough @Telegraph #transrights #TransRightsAreHumanRights #HampsteadHeath #HampsteadHeathPonds

They even played dumb and asked me to clarify what I meant by “missing word”. The sentence is ungrammatical, mate. 😮‍💨
Cabinet Office Room G39, 1 Horse Guards Road London, SW1A 2HQ foi-team@cabinetoffice.gov.uk www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk FOI reference: FOI2025/20006 18 December 2025 Dear E Lee We refer to your request where you asked: "On 5 Dec 2025, The Times reported a government spokesman saying, "We are unapologetic about taking the time to produce legally sound guidance that will guide businesses and organisations, and ensure have the safety and dignity they deserve; the alternative — issuing rushed and flawed guidance — would be utterly catastrophic and fail women across our country." It appears some words are missing between "ensure" and "have". Please let me know whether this was a written response. Please let me know what the missing words are if they were communicated to The Times; what they would have been if they were accidentally omitted; or whether they were intentionally withheld. Clarification: Thank you for your prompt response. The quote seems ungrammatical. / would like to know whether it was altered (or paraphrased) by The Times, or if they printed your spokesman's speech or written response verbatim." We are writing to advise you that following a search of our paper and electronic records, we have established that the information you requested is not held by the Cabinet Office.

Ashley’s 2025 freedom of information prize 🏆 goes to the Cabinet Office.

Apparently, the government is so confused that it doesn’t even know who deserves safety and dignity.
We understand from wider discussion that the word 'they' was left out of the article and it should read as follows: "We are unapologetic about taking the time to produce legally sound guidance that will guide businesses and organisations, and ensure 'they' have the safety and dignity they deserve; the alternative — issuing rushed and flawed guidance — would be utterly catastrophic and fail women across our country." This was not provided as a written response. If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request or wish to request an internal review, you should write to:

The limited evidence consists of the Cass Report and nothing else. And in the UK this “possible unknown harm”, despite statutory wording and EU law that point in the opposite direction, was used to justify the emergency ban.
Limitations and Constraints on Analysis There is a lack of evidence in New Zealand and internationally on the safety and benefits of using medicines that can block the onset of puberty for young people with gender incongruence/dysphoria. New Zealand and other countries have started active monitoring, and in some cases such as the UK are initiating research, to address the gaps. There are constraints on the range of options able to be considered. The emphasis from Government is to safeguard young people from potential harm related to the use of puberty blockers based on limited evidence of possible unknown harm. Many stakeholders supported options that increased access to puberty blockers for those wanting them and in consultation with clinicians and their caregivers. Given the need to exercise care when consulting with young people and the timeframes available for consultation, the Ministry was unable to consult directly with young people with gender incongruence/dysphoria. There was some consultation with caregivers and whãnau in the targeted consultation meetings, and representative groups, medical professionals and

My first sustained weight loss in at least eight years 😄

So pretty at Leicester Square.
A nighttime wide-angle shot looking up through the sprawling, bare branches of large trees at a festive outdoor market. Glowing, spherical light ornaments are scattered throughout the branches against a dark sky. At the bottom of the frame, wooden market stalls are illuminated with warm lights. Colorful neon signs and the silhouettes of a crowd are visible in the background.

My favourite cake.
A square slice of baked cheesecake is centered on a black plate. The cheesecake has a golden-brown top from baking and is topped with a whole, glazed peach. The cheesecake has a layer of peach jam at the bottom, resting on a thin crust. A portion of a tall glass containing an iced coffee is visible in the blurred background to the left.

I am trying to define a “dual (or intersectional) characteristic” under section 14 of the Equality Act 2010, and this is the provision I have drafted.

Does “intersectional characteristic of gender diversity“ sound good? Any better proposals?
In relation to the protected characteristics of sex and gender reassignment and to the intersectional characteristic of gender diversity— (a) a reference to a person who has a particular intersectional characteristic is a reference to a trans man, to a trans woman, or to a non-binary person; (b) a reference to persons who share an intersectional characteristic is a reference to persons who share a common attribute in respect of the matter of gender within the meaning of section 10 of the Equality Act 2006.

There is a Lords amendment that requires all phones to have unremovable spyware pre-installed, supposedly to combat CSAM. It is unsurprising that one of its sponsors is the weirdo Hilary Cass.
Member's explanatory statement This new clause would require the Secretary of State to take action to promote and protect children's wellbeing by mandating the installation of software which prevents the creation, viewing and sharing of child sexual abuse material on smartphones and tablets which are supplied for use in the UK. Sponsors Baroness Cass Crossbench Life peer Baroness Benjamin Liberal Democrat Life peer > Lord Nash's amendment, After Clause 27 Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill Report stage Unnumbered amendment Lead member Lord Nash Conservative, Life peer Im Lords > After Clause 27 insert the following new Clause- "Action to promote the wellbeing of children by combating child sexual abuse material (CSAM) (1) Within 12 months of the passing of this Act the Secretary of State must, for the purpose of promoting the wellbeing of children, make and bring into force regulations which require manufacturers, importers and distributors of relevant devices to satisfy the CSAM requirement specified in subsection (2). (2) The "CSAM requirement" is that any relevant device supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper- proof system software which is highly effective at preventing the recording, transmitting (by any means, including livestreaming) and viewing of CSAM using that device.

TO CURE TECHNOPHOBIA YOU NEED ILLUSIONS THAT WORK. A lot of people aren't fooled by the new technology. They know it means new levels of tedium wherever work is required for survival. At AT&T, we're worried by their hostility. That's why we're watching reactions to automation so closely. To find out what people will accept. And where they draw the line. Our calculations can help them view their domestication as inevitable, almost nice. You see, at AT&T we know even the most advanced technology can be dismantled by people who want to live for themselves and not us. AT&T. We help keep domination up to date. ATST

I think this amendment would resolve most issues in relation to charity and inclusion of trans+ folks.
In section 193(7) (charity) for the word “restrict” to the end substitute— “restrict participation in the activity to— (a) cis men and trans men, (b) cis women and trans women, or (c) persons under paragraphs (a) or (b) and non-binary persons” In section 193 (charity) at the end insert— “(11) Subsection (1) does not apply to the protected characteristic of gender reassignment in circumstances where, if a claim of direct discrimination because of gender reassignment were to be brought, it would come within subsection (7).”
