Falkner got a good grilling in the latest women's and Equalities committee meeting.

And that was thanks to everyone writing in and getting in touch with their MPs.

Let's keep the pressure up.

Absolutely wild. The EHRC appear to have cancelled their board meeting in Glasgow because of the protest outside their offices on Friday 2nd May. You can see the "serious risk of violence" play out for yourself in this video.

It seems that Baroness Falkner regards any kind of resistance to the EHRC's segregation policies, however "peaceful" and "orderly", as a potential threat of violence. This says a lot about what feels to me to be an extremely violent mindset on her part.

Seeing a lot of people very worried about a proposed amendment to the Data Bill.

In short, such amendments very rarely succeed without Government support - which this one doesn't have. It may still however create some nasty debate if selected.

But if you're worried, you can write to your MP.

There's a bill passing through parliament at the moment called the Data Bill

An added amendment would completely remove trans people's right to privacy, and could even revert legal documents

We have to apply a lot of pressure on this one too MPs. More info here:

So, the reason they had to tweet this is because the “respectable” “gender critical” people have a habit of real life stalking anyone who stands up to them.

Seriously. I’ve seen it several times.
Any abuse directed towards BMA members or staff is unacceptable and has no place in the serious consideration of these complex issues.

Oh so they want to exclude trans women from women’s & now they could exclude trans men from men’s & womens toilets!! wtf !! They say the UK court ruling has made clarity but if anything it has made things twice as worse!Persecution & discrimination to trans people!
What does the UK Supreme Court's gender ruling mean for trans men? — The Conversation UK
The decision means trans men can be exluded from men’s single-sex spaces – but may also be excluded from women’s spaces.

It's not a 'trans debate'. It's an attack on the rights of trans people. People.

Trans women are routinely denied healthcare, safe housing and dignity.

This isn’t an accident. It is hate, fuelled by those in power.

Trans rights are human rights — and I will always stand with the trans community.
