Wow

Fantastic win for the gender critical crowd. Well done everyone.

This would have gone through were it not for the resistance.

#fairplayforwomen

On the BBC news channel tomorrow's papers section now .

Just seen this. I can’t see the article yet, I guess it will be available at midnight.

Please let it be true.

On the BBC news channel tomorrow's papers section now .

I think its on again in an hour. They're also announcing a ban on gay conversation therapy.

Cant find this story online yet (just seen the front page on one of those paper review programmes).

But this sound exactly like the story they published about a month ago. Not sure if it isn't just the times pushing its agenda.

However, they are running a poll for readers to vote on "should the law allow trans people to self-identify?" www.thetimes.co.uk/article/readers-poll-should-the-law-allow-trans-people-to-self-identify-bc5wgx28j

Great news, if true. Fingers crossed.

Holy shit.

Would really like to see our leadership candidates denounce this @EdwardJDavey @LaylaMoran @Wera_Hobhouse

I stand in solidarity with the trans community.

Trans women are women, trans men are men. The trans community is one of the most discriminated against in the UK.

@libdems must always stand up for equality & work to end discrimination & abuse.

Sigh.

Sorry this was what they reported back in February and absolutely nothing happened so really wouldn't get excited.

But now maybe the time to sign up to the Times to complete the poll.

Times

Yeesssss!

Am wondering if it's an opportunistic release after the JKR furore.

If so, fucking brilliant. Proven vote losers are a much better lever than 'the right thing to do'.

Poll at 93% for No to Self ID

I also just saw this on the BBC papers review. Good news but annoying that it comes from Boris's government as it supports the TRA's right wing bigots argument. And the push back will be huge. It feels never ending at the moment.

OMG this is huge! Laughing at the "no quacks" bit, the Webberlys get their own section.

This is the real deal. It is the teaser for Liz Truss announcing the plans next month. Those who have been closely involved in the lobbying etc are right now v happy on Twitter as they knew it was coming.

Please wait until you see what the article says.

This sound like nothing more than the wishful thinking they reported in February.

Nothing has happened.

Its just a news paper headline to help sell a paper.

Wonder how Keir Starmer and Labour are going to respond.

I'll never vote Conservative... but it is my Tory friends supporting the GC stuff I have posted on social media.

Just seen the sub head. Women's spaces will be protected. That's what Liz Truss said last month.

sigh

We've still got an uphill battle on our hands in Scotland unfortunately.

I think self ID should be allowed but sex and gender be properly defined and separate and spaces be defined by sex
Job done, everyone happy

The libdems haven't learnt to read the room have they. Nor have labour or the Greens for that matter.
