Brilliant assessment of that awful Ian Dunt piece. Dunt uses every single stupid argument we've got used to seeing on our trans bingo cards for over a decade, and adds some more of his own. Akua takes him down point by point. Delicious.

Responding to Ian Dunt's blog on the @EHRC Code of Practice turned out to be a big job. Here's Part 1 of my comments. More to follow when I've recovered my strength. "THE EHRC CODE EXPLAINED": A RESPONSE TO IAN DUNT | Part 1 open.substack.com/pub/withinthel…

@LabWomenDec @suzanne_moore But, more than all of that is the terrifying danger that this trial will, once and for all, prove all of you wrong.

"This trial is dangerous physically & mentally. It involves telling children their sexed bodies are somehow wrong & that they can change them. It pushes them into the most rigid of gender stereotypes...it turns healthy children into patients for life" @suzanne_moore telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/1…

@helensaxby11 @glosswitch IKR? Her and Kirkpatrick very well prepared - clear answers to every question. Particular points to Stephenson for dissecting Whittome's multi-part statement/questions.

@glosswitch Was Dunt watching the same thing I was watching? What I saw was a woman totally in control, extremely professional and almost word-perfect in her responses to bad faith questions and outrageous disrespect. He saw a woman 'coming apart'. Really? 🙄

When men write this way about intelligent women with whom they disagree, you can just hear the tone they'd use with a woman who'd done the same in real life

When someone or a group of people is/are determined to avoid very simple truths, in this case "blokes are not women", the scoundrels amongst them resort to the wail, "it's so terribly complex". It is not "complex". It is simple. It is just. It is right. It is fair. It is law.
Colin Wynter KC@QcWynter

Nothing remotely "complex" about the ruling. For the slow, the dim-witted, the half-witted & the deeply stupid, they can head straight to the concluding passages of the judgment at paragraphs 277 et seq, which contain "the thrust" of the ruling. Lawyers can sort out the details.

@Romy_Holland My kids are teens now, but my answer would’ve been the same as it would’ve been to a random stranger walking past who asked if they could hold either of my babies. “No”

some ppl walked by with their dog when i was sitting on the lawn with my baby today and they were like “oh she loves babies can she come say hi?” i don’t actually know much about dogs and previously might have agreed so that my baby could have an animal encounter, but the first thing i did was identify pit bull features and then i was like “only from that distance!” and honestly i kinda just wanted to take my baby inside after that.

We'd like to thank all those who have worked on prisons here and across the UK, raising awareness and being a voice for the vulnerable women in jail. If we try to name check you all, we will miss someone, but special thanks are due to Kate Coleman who spent many hours engaging with politicians and talking to the women in prison.

A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know… It has not “peeked” your interest. Nor has it “peaked” your interest. …It has piqued your interest. You are not “phased” by something. You are fazed by it. If you’ve had a long day, you are weary. If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary. It is “due course”, not “do course”. “Per se”, not “per say”. And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost. Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping. This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙

@socfemoz @SVPhillimore You seem confused about the difference between oppression and equity. Presumably you think we should also remove all provision for disabled people in the UK because in the past we used to lock them away?

This is ahistoric nonsense. Women did not have 'sex based rights'. They were oppressed and rights NOT GIVEN TO THEM because of their sex. They could not vote. They could not own property. They could not divorce. They could not keep custody of their children if their husband left them. They could not work after marriage. They were paid much less for the work they did that was the same as mens. I had an interesting talk with some devout Christian friends who reminded me that the greatest trick that the Devil ever played was persuading people he didn't exist. This kind of nonsense is so audacious, I have to give it some grudging respect.
Kylie Maree@socfemoz

Dear TERF's Once upon a time, before sex discrimination was made unlawful, Women (& men) had 'sex based rights' & 'single sex spaces'. It didn't work out too well for the women.

@FrankGaIton @ZacGoldsmith @Joyhenderson78 It’s bollocks. His evidence is a confession extracted under torture by the Iraqi policy, a statement from his mum’s mate who never kept his story straight, and the date of a bombing that Shlaim got wrong by an entire year (it actually happened *after* most Jews had left).

@JoshFG You appear to be using the same playbook that failed so spectacularly for the Democrats It needs to sink in that you are *also* letting women down and in *more ways* than those you’re pointing the finger at And of course you’re so oblivious you’ll be surprised when it backfires

Among the flags that the Reform mayor of Calderdale has decided to stop flying is the flag for white ribbon day on to commemorate victims of male violence against women. White Ribbon UK are a charity founded in Calderdale who encourage men to stand against male violence against women. Around 2 women a week are killed by their partners. So I would ask councillor Andrew Tagg to consider the decision not to support Calderdale’s women again. halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/politics/…

@AberrantThe @DollyGreyCloud …she’s become so muddled that she’d accuse others of seeing Arabs as “interchangeable widgets” while simultaneously excusing the persecution of Jews because of what other Jews did.

@AberrantThe @DollyGreyCloud I don’t know about that, but I followed her for years and actually thought she was nothing short of brilliant for her “Terf Wars” stuff. It’s upsetting to see someone who gave me some incredibly valuable insights disappear into racism like this. And I’m genuinely astonished…

@janeclarejones @DollyGreyCloud @MattMcCann1976 Given your main point appears to be that Palestinians should have some sort of restitution for the Nakba, it’s surprising that when considering the persecution and expulsion of Jews from across the Arab/Muslim world (who weren’t involved in the 1948 war but would be…

Another apology. But what strikes me about all this is just how much the middle classes in the UK look down on the working class. And that goes equally from those born working class and who become middle class.
Iain Macwhirter@iainmacwhirter

This hasn't aged well. I swallowed Police Scotland spin about "misinformation" being spread about an incident where "a Bulgarian couple were approached by youths". In fact, was the one assaulted and verbally abused by the Bulgarian couple. Sorry Sophie from Dundee But all credit to Dundee Sheriff Court for getting to the truth.

@DannyBeales The EHRC Code of Practice says that gay men and lesbian women have the right form organisations. Is that not a good thing?
