This story is in the legal gossip pages today (apologies if it has already been discussed).

It's always good when Roll on Friday covers something - I don't know if this has been added to the other Alison Bailey threads yet but would be a good addition.

‘Stonewall's Head of Trans Inclusion’ that’s an interesting remit. Do they also have a ‘Head of Lesbian Inclusion’?

Unfortunately the former would likely also be the latter.Hmm

Annoyingly the lie that Maya Forstater misgendered a work colleague is being repeated here: www.rollonfriday.com/discussion/anyone-willing-try-defend-stonewall-re-news-story

Rollonfriday appears to be gender critical, thankfully.

I can't see a way to link directly to the post, but there's a really nice explainer on the Equality Act in that thread.

Interesting that the comments were disabled on that article. Is this standard for a pending legal case?

Rollonfriday appears to be gender critical, thankfully.

Part of this I think is that lawyers operate in a framework where definitions have to be meaningful and ultimately things are decided on facts. Many lawyers have an instinctive sense, and horror, of the chaos that comes from the discarding of meaning, facts, and reality by the gender identity ideology.

It's one reason why the ideology is really struggling to make headway in the cases that end up in the High Court.

why is "yourselves" not illegal?

lol

You've got to look at the link PygmyHippoBob provided:

Well worth reading.

I like Warwick. That was a good read.

Uhohmummy · 12/03/2021 13:54

Oh yes - thanks. I’m reading that now.

I thought the inclusion of that quote in the article was designed to provoke. 😄
