“I think the time has come to take the Supreme Court ruling & the guidance, & implement it, but to do it in a way that protects those spaces but does not marginalise already marginalised communities" @AndyBurnhamGM's not there yet, but this is a start. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

"The “no debate” stance of Stonewall... demonised anyone who sought to discuss them. It was only when the dangers of such a policy came to light, including biologically male rapists being sent to female prisons, that the public realised its implications" thetimes.com/comment/the-ti…

Llongyfarchiadau a da iawn Sue. Such an important part of Labour Movement and a warrior for women's rights in Wales and beyond. Proud of you 💚💜🤍

"NO MORE EXCUSES... There can now be no more excuses from public bodies, including government departments, that they are “waiting for the guidance”. Our response to @bphillipsonMP's publication of the updated @EHRC Code⬇️ labourwomensdeclaration.org.uk/lwd-statement-…

The Government published the EHRC Guidance today & we spotted this little nugget 2.96 Gender reassignment is a separate protected characteristic & unrelated to sexual orientation, despite often being grouped together (for example under the acronym LGBTQ+ people) Time to separate

Many congratulations to @LabWomenDec founding signatory Cllr Sue Lent. A well-deserved honour, and we wish her all the best in the role.

There we have it, the Government recognises that LGB is a different protected characteristic than gender reassignment or TQ+ so it’s time we were able to officially separate from that forced teaming acronym @BBCPolitics @c4news @ITV @UKLabour

This is an important step towards clarity and fairness delivered by @UKLabour. No longer should women be told they don’t have a right to their own spaces.

@JournalismSEEN @Telegraph The Supreme Court judgement also Included the rights of lesbians. Our rights to our own spaces & a clear definition of who is a lesbian . The rights of same-sex attracted females was recognised on April 16th 2025 since that day most media outlets have chosen to ignore us.

📣 Save the date! 🗓️ Thursday 9 July 2026 at 19.00 ⚖️ GPW webinar on the Supreme Court Ruling 🗞️ With special guest speaker Akua Reindorf KC ❓ What do you want to ask? 🤔 What do you want to know? 🔗 Link to follow. @akuareindorf @TheGreenParty #RaisingWomensVoices

We hope new @WelshGovernment @PrifWeinidog & other agencies including @swpolice take note. ‘Waiting for guidance’ = condoning fraudulent, deliberate homophobia in your institution.

The starting point for Andy Burnham on sex and gender is to reiterate what Keir Starmer has *already said*: 1) That a woman is an adult female, and 2) That the government welcomes the SC judgment and will enact it. This isn't enough, but it would be a de-fusing start.

The UK Supreme Court confirmed that a lesbian was a same-sex attracted female - there can be no substitutes.

The depressing regularity with which sexual predators use mixed-sex leisure centre changing rooms to access their victims is highlighted by two recent court cases. In Lancashire, Matthew Gilkes, an IT teacher has been jailed for 16 years after being found guilty of a string of child sex abuse crimes including taking indecent photographs in the changing rooms at the leisure centre in Chorley. In Southampton, Joshua Vallis has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in the mixed-sex changing rooms at Romsey Rapids swimming pool. Police found thousands of indecent images of children on his computer. He was released on bail and will be sentenced at a later date. These two men had accrued thousands of indecent images of children. The crimes they committed in swimming pool changing rooms were part of a prolific pattern of offending. Every woman and child is at risk of sexual predators using mixed-sex changing rooms to commit crimes. What will it take for local authorities, leisure providers and the sports councils to take this seriously?

Our statement welcoming today's publication of the @EHRC Code of Practice. "The Supreme Court ruling clarified the Equality Act as it has always been; it’s time for the rest of society to catch up" #NoMoreExcuses #TheLawIsTheLaw labourwomensdeclaration.org.uk/lwd-statement-…

After a year of “waiting for guidance”, is today the day?

One of the features of Employment Tribunals that the @tribunaltweets postings from cases like the current Lorna Young v Manchester CC case is showing is how often employers (who hold most of the documents) fail to comply with duty to disclose all relevant material pre hearing
