This has got to be a parody. I see though that the British Sociological Association is on the list and accused of collaboration. I dodged a bullet there as I have never been a member of it.
trans rights now, Ash@EHRCchair
I am proud to be a steadfast human rights lawyer who will always speak the truth. Meanwhile, check out this comprehensive list of anti-trans hate groups and collaborators. I’ve just updated it. ashley-nein.notion.site/19101d3e04aa80…

Another setback for the GLP but, of course, only at a deeply technical level.

I see Boy George is off. Though perhaps at 65 he should be considering George formerly known as Boy.

@ChantAngle64 @janeclarejones 60% no. The actual estimate is 63%. So not exactly bullshit. sex-matters.org/posts/updates/…
English
Over 60% of the UK population agree with the Supreme Court judgement.
Is you claim that all those people are actual Nazis?

@janeclarejones @AmyahA_ As is your comprehension of what it actually means to be anti fascist. Total fucking sham claim.

@FondOfBeetles @amnesty @AmnestyUK 2:1 the hard of thinking code this as conclusive evidence of a "coordinated campaign", orchestrated by a secret committee, bankrolled by the Christian far-right.

We wrote to Amnesty @amnesty @AmnestyUK about their reports containing defamatory slurs against Sex Matters and others.
Sex Matters@SexMattersOrg
Sex Matters has written to @amnesty @AmnestyUK about the two reports "A growing threat" and "Like a snowball" which accuse the UK gender critical movement of being "anti-rights". We point out the arguments published under Amnesty’s name are: 🚨 Defamatory slurs against named organisations 🚨Explicit encouragement to donors and the Charity Commission to discriminate unlawfully 🚨Discriminatory and harassing against Amnesty's own gender-critical staff 🚨Contrary to statutory safeguarding guidance for schools that Amnesty seeks to work with 🚨Inconsistent with the objects of the charity.

theguardian.com/education/2026… Guardian obituary of my school history teacher. Leslie had an enormous influence on me in countless ways. A pragmatic idealist who inspired respect and gratitude from all he taught.

@runthinkwrite tend to get a free pass on research logic 101. Basically these folk have been badly taught. Everyone with a brain cell knows what is going on, but the "I don't criticise your shit if you don't criticise mine" omerta ethic allows nonsense & low standards to find a stable niche.
English
@runthinkwrite illustrate conclusions you have already reached. Of course this research is, even on its own terms, a defective example of the latter, as most of the data points do not in fact illustrate the preconceived conclusions. But combine illustration=research with an activist ethic & you
English
Not much to add to the commentary on that Amnesty report, but to highlight something yet again: the abysmal lack of ordinary intellectual standards on one side of this argument, the absence of quality control, and the willingness of once reputable organisations to publish tosh.
English
@AmnestyUK why not just stick to prisoners of conscience?

Another huge whopper of an untruth from @AmnestyUK
It claims the 'gender critical' organisations making up 51% of its sample are 'anti-rights'.

@miroirdufou @glosswitch EA 2010 gives service providers the right to provide their services on a single sex basis if it is a proportionate means to a legitimate aim. The SC has made clear what sex means in this context. Are you proposing to take away those rights? If so. you better get campaigning
English
@glosswitch No, they've come out against the hate groups peddling 'sex-based rights', a concept designed to create the illusion that giving trans people equal rights somehow removes rights from others.
English
Amnesty have just come out against feminism *in principle*. It's beyond any detail of "the sex and gender debate".
English
@patricksturg Perhaps we can have a day of national mourning instead.

This is such a stupid, typically Starmerish, policy. We won't get the holiday because we'll lose to Norway or Argentina thereby compounding the gloom, so it only serves to make us look like we assume we are going to win it to the rest of the world.
Beth Rigby@BethRigby
The PM is planning to announce a bank holiday if England win the World Cup. Final is the day before handover of power day on July 20. PM expected to confirm bank holiday if England reach the final, with the likely date set to be July 24. Dare to dream!
English
@datadriven_tdoc That *may* be true. But that does not justify *is*. When you actually have read the paper and can produce arguments based on the words in the actual pages then you can possibly justify *is*. At the moment all you have is conjecture & motte & bailey. Not data driven at all.
English
@OxSoc The nature of the data that was presented makes it very unlikely it came from a study design that would be considered moderate or high quality from an objective assessment of observational study design.
English
Oh look. More low quality research that we are going to promote as if it is gospel…

Dropped the car off at 8.30 for a service and walked home along the river. Not a soul about except fish swimming in the shallows and rabbits on the meadow. River as still as a lake, shade from the trees and vegetation. What's not to like?

Perhaps, Samantha needs to get out a bit more and experience the same world that her constituents do. Her experience of the real world seems to be uncannily limited. Not a good look for someone whose job it is to *represent* people. And I say that as someone who is a LP member.

@EnglishLaydee @JamesEsses @JournalistJill There isn’t a changing room I’ve been in to that doesn’t have separate cubicles to get changed in. You people are obsessed with toilets and changing rooms.

Bellingham is a class act.

Jude Bellingham stopped to speak with a disabled reporter and did so in Spanish so the reporter could understand ❤️
English
A wonderful example. Language changes, for all sorts of reasons, including conquest, but the referent is the same. A totally different process from requiring, under threat of social or legal sanction, to make the same word refer to an ever expanding set of object types.

Torpenhow Hill, England When the Saxons arrived and asked the locals what that hill was called, the Welsh replied, “Pen,” which simply means hill in Welsh. The Saxons, apparently not spotting they’d already been given the full answer, added their own word for hill: tor. So it became Torpen - literally Hill Hill. A few centuries later, the Norse turned up and repeated the exercise, adding haugr, their word for hill. Now it was effectively Torpenhaugr - Hill Hill Hill. Then the English arrived, looked at the whole thing, shrugged, and added “Hill” on the end for good measure. Thus we ended up with Torpenhow Hill: Hill Hill Hill Hill. It’s comforting to know that for over a thousand years, successive generations have been independently deciding that the previous lot hadn’t made it quite clear enough that it was, in fact, a hill. Language is magnificent. Humans… less so.🤷🏻♂️🤣
