In a wider thread where he suggests progressives are on the back foot. https://x.com/luketryl/status/2099139172598505890?s=46

he is getting push back about his framing of women's rights v "gender identity" as its somehow socially conservative that women's rights are supported

because he's very clear with his framing that socially conservative should be seen as a bad thing

Two words - Theresa May.

Four words - what you on about?

So women should stop fighting men who want to access their spaces because if they don’t they will lose even more rights? Just to stop the “Christian right”?

Show quote history

Of course. Total capitulation to male demands are required from women. #nodebate and all that.

I suspect it is because who is promoting the backlash with serious $; the Xian US hard right are not progressive in the slightest. Gay rights and abortion will be their next targets here.

Yet again the insinuation that sex realism in the UK is somehow funded by the American Evangelical wing of the Republican party. 🙄 If it is I wish a bit would come my way as I've donated more than I can reasonably afford towards the recent court and tribunal cases that have helped to protect women's rights.

Look at his bio

"Luke Tryl was Director, Corporate Strategy at Ofsted February 2017 to February 2019. In that role he oversaw the development and implementation of Ofsted’s strategic priorities, as well as the organisation’s research function and external relations.
Before Ofsted, Luke was Special Adviser to Nicky Morgan at the Department for Education and he has also been a Director of Public Policy Projects at an independent think tank, Head of Education at Stonewall and an Education Researcher at Reform (now Re:State)."

So started in Stonewall (same role as Wes Streeting), was at the DfE when they were wedging transactivism into schools and then part of the Ofsted problem when they were pushing gender identity at schools.

Obviously he could have been a disinterested bystander in all this - or could have been one of the bureaucrats pushing an age inappropriate adult ideology at children below the age of consent. Wonder which it is?

If it's the latter then it would explain his framing of women's rights as a bad thing.

Luke who? I had to google who he is, so I don't see how much influence he will have on the debate. 😉
