@Chris_CPH @LoudBonnet @jk_rowling A trans woman IS a woman. In order to be granted a GRC you have to jump thru hoops to prove you should be recognised as the gender you identify as.

Nope. Single-sex spaces for women must always exclude "trans women" (a subset of men), or they will not be single-sex. It's like peanut-free meals: you have to leave the peanuts out. It's really not that hard. legalfeminist.org.uk/2024/11/06/sex…
Harriet Harman@HarrietHarman

The Supreme Court ruling correctly interprets the Equality Act, giving effect to our intention when drafting it. Single sex spaces for women are important & can exclude trans women but only where necessary. The Act, & ruling, protects rights of women while also respecting the rights of trans women.

An odd take. (i) Obviously attire can be an insult. Fetish wear at work? T-shirts with insulting slogans? (ii) I think Rattley's antics could be dealt with without recourse to a sex-specific rule. How about "No prosthetic comedy breasts in the workplace"?
Misha 🇮🇪🇪🇺 ye olde immigrante@ramendik

@LoudBonnet Attire is not an "insult". And no sex-specific enforcement of dress codes must be allowed. Ever. (The heels debate of 2017 is where thos should have been established).

For decades, every orphaned elephant died within a matter of weeks. Then a woman with no scientific training decided that wasn’t good enough. Daphne Sheldrick received baby elephants at her center in Tsavo National Park, Kenya. They arrived after poachers had killed their mothers. They were only a few weeks old, confused, and still dependent on milk. The pattern was always the same. They were fed cow’s milk, the only alternative available. At first, they drank it. Then their bodies began to reject it. Diarrhea, dehydration, weakness. Within days, they died. That was the case everywhere. Experts considered it inevitable. Elephant milk had a composition too specific to be replicated. Without the mother, there was no solution. Daphne had no formal academic training in biology or veterinary medicine. She had learned by working in the field, alongside animals. And she decided not to accept that conclusion. She began to experiment. She adjusted the milk formulas. Added cream. Used goat’s milk. Introduced different oils, one at a time. She recorded everything in a notebook. Every attempt was tested on a real calf. Many died. And from that point on, her work changed. Every mistake became data. Every loss became a clue about what did not work. She continued for years. Then for a decade. Then two. In the meantime, she identified several key factors. Coconut oil worked better than other fats. Mineral proportions had to be precise. Stress was also a decisive factor: the calves needed constant contact, not just nourishment. The keepers began sleeping beside them. Caring for them day and night. Partly replacing the presence of the mother. Results came slowly. First they survived for a few weeks. Then months. Then years. In the late 1970s, after the death of her husband, she founded the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. She gathered everything she had learned and turned it into a method. Feeding, medical care, daily management. Everything was organized into clear protocols. The calves began to grow. Some were reintroduced into the wild. Then they integrated into herds. Then they had calves of their own. What had seemed impossible became achievable. When Daphne Sheldrick died in 2018, more than 230 orphaned elephants had survived thanks to the system she had developed. She had no academic titles. She had started with a problem everyone believed had no solution—and kept working on it for nearly thirty years.

To make the jump from a mentally ill man attacking 3 people, two Jews and a Muslim, to saying peaceful Pro-Palestinian marches must be banned as a consequence, is totally irrational, bizarre and downright Orwellian. This lunacy from our politicians must be challenged.

The level of complicity of the @BBC in the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon is shocking. I am listening to their Jerusalem correspondent report that the ‘IDF are striking Hezbollah targets’ while I’m on the ground in the middle of it watching men, women and children being killed on a daily basis. My colleagues are being executed. Paramedics are being systematically murdered. All of this is happening in plain sight and the BBC correspondent here in Lebanon knows it. May you all be put on trial for your deadly propaganda when the time comes. Shame on all of you, especially those on the ground who are too cowardly to speak out.

The @BBC just said on air that the ceasefire in Lebanon is “holding” and only one “death” has been recorded, “a man riding his motorcycle.” Israel has repeatedly broken the ceasefire and committed murder and domicide, targeting civilian homes. One day, if there is any humanity left in this world, not only the perpetrators of these heinous crimes will be put on trial but also their propagandists.

Since many are asking what I was sanctioned for: here’s the complete list of the EU’s so-called “evidence.” Judge it yourself. x.com/i/status/19631…
Hüseyin Dogru@hussedogru

URGENT: The @EUCouncil rejected my lawyers' application to "reconsider" the sanctions imposed on me. The evidence is shocking and dangerous, which forces me now to publish the entire evidence used to sanction me. The EU forbids me from publishing their evidence dossier.🧵 @ClareDalyIRL @yanisvaroufakis @DiEM_25 @Miquel_R @DropSiteNews @SevimDagdelen @mkhalili @LaBase_TV @PabloIglesias @newscord_org @FWarweg @jungewelt @FuocoSavinelli @AlanRMacLeod @MintPressNews @wallacemick @_jneumann @amnesty_de @amnesty @IJFMedia @IFJGlobal @Fidias0 @Wikipedia @JulianAssange_ @Stella_Assange @FabioDeMasi @TiloJung @JungNaiv @ASE @johnnyjmils @goldi @afshinrattansi @jeremyscahill @AsaWinstanley @CPJ_Eurasia @fehimtastekin @georgegalloway @Mondoweiss @FranceskAlbs @euobs @candundaradasi @_sophiamaier @WittStahl @AssalRad @OrenZiv_

Israel killed Malak in Saida, South Lebanon. Not a fighter. Not a threat. A mother. Devoted to raising her 8-year-old son alone. Now her child waits for a mother who will never come home again.

In 1982 Margaret Thatcher cutoff weapons to Israel because they invaded Lebanon. Today Israel are invading Lebanon and instead of banning weapons to Israel they are trying to ban Palestine marches.

People haven't yet grasped the crazy thing happening in the UK at the moment. The government and police legit decided to ignore and not even acknowledge or mention a third victim of a tragic incident all because of their ethnicity and religion.
