  1. @GeofCox I share @benofbrown's caution.

    #BridgetPhillipson's track record on #trans rights is atrocious. If #Phillipson wanted to support trans people, the simple remedy would be to pass a one-sentence amendment to the #EA2010 making a GRC define sex in the EA as it does elsewhere. The #UKSC ruling in #FWS would be redundant.

    This intervention marks a useful but small retreat from the #EHRC's extremist #transExclusion agenda. Phillipson just wants to crap on us less crudely.

  2. Yesterday, #UK Equalities Minister #BridgetPhillipson issued a sharp public rebuke to #EHRC chair #KrisherFalkner's aggression. theguardian.com/society/2025/n

    It seems that govt-EHRC relations have almost broken down. I don't want to read too much into this. I believe that the #Starmer crew still intends to sacrifice #trans people to the rightwing lynch mobs.

    But there is now some small hope that #Phillipson may draw back slightly from the most exteremist #TERF demands. But this may just be optics 🤔

  3. <Breathes a small sigh of relief> that #LucyPowell not #TERF #Phillipson was chosen by #Labour members... Makes me hope that #transphobic #Starmer might be coming to the end of his leadership.

    Let's hope Powell sticks to her word to demand a parliamentary debate on single sex spaces...

    ...but maybe I'm too hopeful?
