My novel OCEAN is published in paperback May 7th. I wrote it after crossing the Bay of Biscay as the worst crew member ever on a beautiful yacht, trying to understand what happens to a family under pressure. "A propulsive, visceral, gasp inducing page-turner" - Sunday Post

Sex is not "special category" data The EHRC guidance is mainly pretty good, but the section on "asking about sex" is unlawful and should be withdrawn. The new guidance claims that information on sex is, or should be treated as, “special category” data under GDPR It is simply outside the EHRC’s mandate to issue guidance about data protection. That is the ICO's job This advice in any case is wrong. And adding it to the guidance at the last minute at the government’s insistence undermines the EHRC’s independence.

@pequod51 100%. I wonder if this is driving the sheer intransigence (and silence) of organisations like Stonewall. The costs incurred and potentially incurred now for those who followed their training are surely devastating. And that's before the individuals suing for medical malpractice.

THIS. Surely Stonewall et al can be sued for misrepresenting the law? It has caused absolute mayhem in society. Women did not do this to trans people - the organisations purporting to support them did.
J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling

The Supreme Court has ruled that under UK law, trans people never had the rights people like you insisted they had. You misrepresented the law and cheered on the removal of women’s rights. Trans people have lost nothing except the mistaken belief you fostered.

Boomers seem to forget that fast food used to be a normal, everyday expense for them because it was affordable. You could get a burger easily on minimum wage, it wasn’t some fancy treat you had once a year as a reward for pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.

@glosswitch Sounds like a threat from Malcolm. It's what activists actually want it seems - chaos.

The heart of this argument is "it's just easier to ask women not to have boundaries than to ask men to behave decently". That should never be the standard by which laws are made.
Malcolm Gate@MalcolGate

The ruling on the interpretation of biological sex in the Equality Act by the Supreme Court is 'bad law' ie. it will fail to achieve its 'intended purpose' and cause 'unintentional harm' both to trans people and to cis men and women if/when it is enforced. Chaos will ensue. #EHRC
