i thought it was FWS who took the case to the Supreme Court? This article doesn’t even mention them. That seems odd. It wasn’t Sex Matters who took the case, fair enough for them to comment but FWS aren’t even mentioned in this. Have they dissolved after they won?

Damn, @MarieDeGournay, you wait until after they take away the laugh response for that zinger? Really?

Well what would you expect from that nest of evil plotters at Sex Matters?

An article in the highly authoritative source [checks notes] Yorkshire Bylines linked to by that knowledgeable and objective poster BeeSouriante revealed the true Machiavellian nature of Sex Matters:

Sex Matters is a powerful gender-critical organisation with explicit connections to organisations listed by the SPLC as anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups, actively courted by our mainstream media, and influentially enmeshed within our parliament, legal system and human rights commission...
And yet despite these views and associations – or perhaps because until now they have hidden them well – Sex Matters are by no means a ‘fringe group’. Rather, they have friends in very high places.
...The organisation’s true agenda is.. best described as ‘eliminationist’.

So there you have it. They sit in their underground HQ, plotting the elimination of all trans people everywhere. They probably got bored during a tea break and plotted the elimination of FWS just for fun.

Or maybe they want to be the only GC organisation, and are picking off the competition one by one..

That's the kind of monsters Sex Matters are. Nobody is safe from them.
LGBA - be afraid, be very afraid, they have a low boredom threshold..

To be fair that story is about what's happened since the SC victory, in particular the refusal of various institutions to acknowledge it. They have gone to Sex Matters for comment, they haven't claimed they won the case

My guess is the usual journalistic London-centric Bubble and anyone outside the M25 barely exists, certainly not in faraway "There be dragons!" lands outside England.

This started straight away after the Supreme Court ruling, with Sex Matters being the go-to organisation platformed by the media and FWS barely getting a look-in. It is just getting worse as time goes on.

I suspect you’re right but also that Sex Matters has a good internal system for picking up and responding to any journalist’s query quickly. They’ve probably also got a v quick quote sign-off process, and with Helen Joyce a former journalist, that will help enormously. She knows how to give good quote. And journalists will get used to that, so that they soon become the go-to people.

FWS are heroines, and from Scotland, so of course they're going to be erased from history.

They absolutely haven’t dissolved, are posting daily on social media.

It's becoming rather tedious. The Mail also credited SM for the change in guidance to Gender Representation on Public Boards.
