The BBC Radio 4 programme 'More or Less' ran a piece purporting to prove that trans women have physical advanatages in sport. I wrote asking them to run a segment on the total numbers of trans women involved in professional sport to give context, but they ignored my email.

Thank you for your considerable efforts in sending these letters; it is much appreciated. That 'Biological male who identifies as a woman' phrase is scurrilous and my suspicion is this is an internal BBC use directive considering how ubiquitous it is. Please do let us know of any replies. Thanks.

The WI and the Guides are about to find out the hard way that capitulating to hate is not productive. The Good Law Project say they will sue. Watch this space.

Well sadly for the WI and the Guides, the Good Law Project just announced they will be suing them, so this is not a win for them if they thought they would avolid litigation.

This means that once a submission is made, it will be scheduled for consideration at the next quarterly meeting. After the hearing, the Committee may issue interim resolutions or directives quickly (within that same meeting or the next one), but the timing depends on the seriousness of the case.
