    If this story is accurate, it is astonishing. It will cost a six figure sum of public money in legal fees alone. Then damages, board turnover, reputational cost, political risk. The cost is incalculable. Gender ideology causes institutional madness.
    Latest from @Telegraph This is not in the past. This is happening this week. Her employers are reported to be pressing ahead. ‘Sandie Peggie..is understood to have been told to attend a conduct hearing on Friday which her employer has warned could lead to her dismissal’

    Another of the false assertions made of the @ForWomenScot judgment is that the Supreme Court “refused to hear from trans people.” It did no such thing. 🧵

    #Forstater v CGD: MF's direct discrim claims were also pleaded alternatively as harassment. MF won on direct discrim, so couldn't also win the same claims as harassment too, so harassment claims are classed as "dismissed". Don't misread that as claims not being well-founded.

    This is mortifying. The SC explicitly addresses sport in its judgment at paragraphs 53, 77, 128, 232-6, 247 and in its concluding summary of reasoning at 265 (xv). If the Chair thinks that sport is irrelevant to the judgment, she can't have read it.
    Extraordinary exchange between @Rebecca_SPaul and the Chair of the Women & Equalities Select Committee. The Chair doesn’t seem to understand that the @UKSupremeCourt ruling clarifies the position for women’s sport. Really embarrassing for parliament & committee clerks

    1. Which post? There was more than one. 2. You owe your apology first to Rosie Duffield. Until you’ve apologised personally to her, you haven’t apologised at all. 3. Say her name.

    Thank you to everyone who’s sent warm messages about @AllianceLGB’s win today. It was an arduous case, made easier by having such excellent clients. As well as being fearless, smart and determined, Kate, Kate Eileen, Bev and Kerry are the *best* company. (1/2)

    This tweet by Joss Prior so perfectly demonstrates the point made by Sarah Ditum in her article (link in reply) that Ditum could almost have put Prior up to tweeting it.

    My client Allison Bailey @BluskyeAllison has commenced giving evidence in the hearing of her Tribunal claim against Stonewall and Garden Court Chambers. Her witness statements can be viewed here:

    He thought the newspaper article was “mind-blowing” - wait until someone tells him that Allison won. He doesn’t understand the law he’s somehow earning a living from. He says a fellow silk (whose name he can’t even spell) has a “rotted brain”. A fool.

    For 15 months, I've been advising a group of women who play competitive Pool, seeking to establish women-only competition in their sport. This resulted in the statement last night from Ultimate Pool that women-only Pool is being re-introduced. My clients' statement is here:

    I don’t have adequate words to express how outrageous this is.
    In one of the most shocking stories you could read, a London hospital has cancelled a woman's life-saving operation at the last minute because it doesn't 'share her values'. That 'value' she had was that she wanted the aftercare nurses to be female 1/12

    Very pleased to be instructed on this important case. The denial of good and services on the basis of gender critical belief is unlawful discrimination. It oughtn’t need litigation to prevent that discrimination from occurring - but if litigation is required, then it is required.
    A Brighton pub cancelled our booking after finding out we hold "gender critical" views. Venues need to learn they can't get away with doing this, so we're taking them to court. We'd really appreciate any donations you can make to our CrowdJustice page: crowdjustice.com/case/humangaym…

    There is no reading of the World Athletics statement that can give rise to Stonewall’s statement here. This is deliberate misinformation. Stonewall should not be taken seriously on this, or anything else.
    It is so disappointing to see World Athletics announce a unilateral ban on trans women in track and field events. Their own statement recognises that there are no trans women competing at an international level and that they have no specific evidence to justify the ban.

    It’s not true what they say - you should always meet your heroes. Graham Linehan is a hero of mine.
