Extraordinary details in this case from the family court, highlighting just how badly gender-questioning young people are being let down: lack of NHS provision has led them to private providers. Here there was no physical examination before prescribing… bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/…

It makes women more than sad when we are rewritten in service of men's fantasies, Daniel, when women in prison are housed with men, when female athletes of all ages are humiliated by male cheats, when children are sold snake-oil for their distress. It makes us fucking furious.

Today Kate Forbes voted FOR Stage 1 of the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) bill. Humza Yousaf was absent. Just as he was for the final vote on equal marriage. So tell me again why Kate Forbes is being is vilified for her faith…

Much more promising from Keir Starmer here.
He says quite clearly:
'I disagree' to accomodating transwomen on female wards and in female prisons.
So good to hear.
Respecting female only wards & prisons together with more money for the NHS overall is the way forward The Labour Party.

Some of the earliest female trade unionists were shopworkers - Margaret Bondfield was one of their organisers before becoming the first Labour woman cabinet minister - and it's fantastic to see their union voting for clarity around sex-based rights 🎉
