Exciting one.

Tweeted by Maya.

twitter.com/MForstater/status/1351928600522596359

'A new org campaigning for clarity on sex in language, policy and law, in order to safeguard the human rights, health, safety and dignity of everybody. Launching soon.'

They say: 'Sex matters, in life and law. This is particularly important for protecting women's rights, and safeguarding children and vulnerable people. It shouldn't take courage to say so.'

Set up by Maya, Emma Hilton, Rebecca Bull and Naomi Cunningham (of legalfeminist).

I had to read that twice
I thought it was part of the don't kink shame brigade wanting rights to group sexGrin
The reality is far better

@OhHolyJesus

On another new group, the Repeal The GRA launched last week and now this, so very exciting!

It does rather seem like the No Debate days are over and so many groups have launched since GRA reform was proposed, it's sort of an own goal by SW.

So we have

LGB Alliance (which is now global)
Safe Schools Alliance
Fair play for women
For women Scot
The countess
Standing for Women
We Need to Talk
Keep prisons single sex

And now also
Repeal the GRA
Sex Matters

All since 2018 - who have I missed?

Transgender Trend and WPUK were long before that but isn't it amazing how many single issue campaigns there are now, the more the merrier!

WNTT came before WPUK!

Mayday
ReSisters
Let A Woman Speak
ManFriday
Get the L Out
Lesbian Rights Alliance

Whoops sorry, just seen that at the end.

Lots of good groups and lots of information available for everyone.

Transgender trend

The original Sex Matters campaign started here, but has been dormant for a while, I'm assuming this one isn't connected?

Such a good submission and thank you OhHolyJesus for that summary. Given how politically homeless so many women feel, it's inspiring to be reminded of all the women's action groups emerging.

Important and timely, this is excellent news!

Fantastic GRA submission. Every assertion backed up with evidence and they cover everything.

Excellent!

MichelleofzeResistance · 20/01/2021 18:09

Cracking GRA submission, that covers every base.

MaudTheInvincible · 20/01/2021 17:25

Brilliant, thank you!

MerchedCymru · 20/01/2021 17:19

Well this is going to be a bit good! Their GRA submission is pretty impressive too...
