Request:
Do I have any followers who are good at analysing the quality of surveys/survey data/methodologies, who is also TERFy enough to do it for free?
The big dataset that the European Commission uses to justify all manner of terrible policies seems dodgy af and I would like to get an expert view on it.
Or if anyone can point me to materials that will teach me how to do it myself - that would be an awesome alternative. Thanks

@wrenske @jan_murray @CrunchAlias (Your link does offer a translation, on Chrome at least).
Completely off topic but I speed-read your tweet as being about a meeting in Gwent instead of Ghent, and could NOT understand why it would be in Dutch instead of Welsh ...
English
I was at a panel discussion two years ago in Ghent, amongst whom two women who worked at the 'gender' clinic in that city. One of them (the one in the red cardigan) marvelled at how some people were able to only get changes in the upper side of their body, while keeping their genitals. She didn't seem to realise – or probably didn't want to know – that she was facilitating the paraphilias of men.

I was speaking to someone the other day who said they could see my point about men staying out of women’s spaces.
But they could also see the ‘other side’.
Because they know someone who decided to transition in his 50s. And just have the top surgery - not the bottom half …
Need I go any further?

@KateCommonsense @polblonde When I pointed out that a) in Scotland at least they are demonstrably worse and b) the SNP were not standing in my Sussex constituency, we had to agree to disagree (!)

@KateCommonsense @polblonde I got into conversation with a Green council candidate a couple of years ago. To be fair, he was not exactly bonkers, but, you know, party line and all that. At the end he begged me to concede that at least the Greens are not as bonkers on 'gender' as the SNP.

Labour canvasser knocked on doors in my street last night. My neighbour asked what is a woman. 'Hard for me to say,' she said. This is why (as I told her) I no longer vote Labour.

@runthinkwrite And taking a "speaking for" role. We are not talking about Endometriosis S-Coast employing a man (trans-identified or not) as buildings officer - though we might wonder a bit about whether a woman wouldn't have been a better choice. And vice versa re the prostate cancer charity.
English
The right comparison with the endometriosis appointment is not the woman who is CEO of Prostate Cancer. It is with a TM (trans-identified female) taking a post in a Prostate Cancer charity. It is not so much someone who can't have a sex-specific condition, but someone who falsely pretends that they can. (imho)

@JeremyVineOn5 @lara_e_brown @theJeremyVine Girlguiding has - finally - decided that these potential problems will stop in September.
Oh, and - "potential"? Tell your male guest to Google Monica Sulley (with images) for one.
Why is your programme so poorly researched, Mr Vine?
English
"The Girl Guides is a single sex space, you have to discriminate based on biological sex."
@lara_e_brown responds to Phil Jones who calls the Guides trans ban 'intolerant' and questions the relevance of the Supreme Court judgement.

@DrMoragKerr @NadiaWhittomeMP This is what I was remembering Morag (this was late 2018, see Katie's thread beginning at x.com/wontsomeonethi…)
Dr Katie Alcock@wontsomeonethi2
So let's break down the timeline:🧵 2016 - I start to read mutterings in Guiding groups about girls who are "now boys" and people asking if they can stay in Guiding. No, say the mods, they are boys now, why would they want to? Early 2018 - I am now aware that this is policy and
English
@DrMoragKerr @NadiaWhittomeMP I seem to remember that that was dropped as policy some years back but I wouldn't swear to it; ISTR a public outcry and quiet reversal as a result? But as I say, that's only my (possibly imperfect) recollections.
English
It’s devastating that Girlguiding has announced plans to exclude existing trans girl guides from September.
The Supreme Court ruling is being weaponised to bully previously inclusive organisations into abandoning members of their own community.
The government must ensure that the statutory guidance enables organisations to be inclusive and protects them from expensive anti-trans lawfare.

@iratesheep @LucyHunterB No climate justice without boys in the Brownies!

A National security assessment, partially released in January, warns that “Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse”.
The climate and nature emergencies are the most pressing issues of our time.
So why isn't this top of the government's agenda?...

@BriefcaseMike @pinkhedgehog81 Ah - it goes to a different school then?

@pinkhedgehog81 Not for you, having looked at your timeline. As per my pinned post, transphobes are blocked.

Charity Commission has confirmed that the law does not force organisations like Girl Guides to exclude trans people from single-sex spaces or facilities.
Its CEO, David Holdworth, urged charities to exercise caution and not rush any changes to their inclusivity policies.

@dabooboo38 There still are single sex options for boys (the Boys Brigade for example) - and I agree that boys as well as girls should have that choice.
English
While Scouts offers a fully mixed and inclusive model, I believe every boy and girl should have the option of both single-sex and mixed associations. Real choice and agency matter — especially during puberty, when dignity, personal space, privacy and comfort levels are such big concerns for many kids. Just the chance of one pursuit a week away from the opposite sex shouldn’t be taken off the table.@jan_murray

@SkyNews They aren't girls, they are a cohort of boys & for safeguarding shouldn't ever have been permitted access. My mother was a guide leader & would have raised a massive red flag.

@LucyHunterB @CommonishGround @WomensIns_Dec I appreciate that your mother's friend may not feel able to take this on personally (and she should not have to) but I don't know if @WomensIns_Dec can help at all, or Alison Golding @faellie2

@LucyHunterB @CommonishGround @WomensIns_Dec If so that is downright inexcusable - the men's groups are supposed to be entirely optional for WI members - and Something Should Be Done.
