EHRC says no case for GRA reform re Scottish gov

[WarriorN]

According to fair play for women.

Awaiting confirmation via a link

Pure projection.

Omfg Nancy.

As Clare Jones says, the adults are saying no. Finally.

You can't have all the sweets you want,

Much toddlertantruming in response

How about all the groups, Nancy? Why not women?

• I thought 'rights aren't pie' - if there's no conflict and we can all have all the rights we want then what's your problem, Nancy?

Will this put a stop to their gallop ?

Pleased to see Twitter knows it's all about the science!

What will it take for the NHS and the various voluntary organisations to rethink their alliance with this ideology that has no definable terms or grounds?

Wow, was not expecting this, maybe we actually have a chance that GRA will be pushed into the long grass and we women in Scotland stand a chance of retaining the hard one protections we have.

Nancy there changing the ingredients of the pie, pulling the pie into her chest, licking it, marking all the bits she wants with her spoon, calling everyone else greedy and then graciously offering pie to anyone wants to share and getting cross when teacher finally realised what she’s up too.

Why is the LGBT Foundation writing to Mike Freer? Isn't Kemi Badenoch the Minister for Equalities?

Badenoch is Minister of State at the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. Freer is Minister for Equalities. Didn't Liz Truss keep that brief when she became Foreign Secretary?

Exactly! If there’s no conflict, then there’s no picking and choosing, is there?

Nancy forgetting again that there are NINE protected characteristics, none of which is ”gender identity “,and none of which outrank each other. The EHRC have carefully spelt out what, in their expert opinion, balancing those rights looks like, and it is very instructive to see what the reaction to that is.

I really hope that this stops sturgeon from destroying women's rights in Scotland but I seriously doubt that she will take any notice and just steam ahead with it.
What I do suspect is that this is the UK government setting up there case to take the Scottish government to court over this (just like they did with the UN rights of the child) as the equality act is reserved legislation and if the Scottish government GRA reform impacts on the equality act that would not be legal and would be struck down 🤞

Could well be Hoardasurass and given Baroness Falkner has said they are going to be producing single sex guidance and recognise the lack of definition in certain areas which they will make more specific will be very welcome. If Sturgeon bounds ahead before those definitions hit mainstream, she will look very silly, having to back track, when she is aware she is on thin ice regarding GRA reform.

[quote OvaHere]Nancy Kelley's hot take. There aren't enough face palms in the world for this.

Replies switched off of course but the quote tweets are worth reading.

This made me laugh! Loving the pie analogies, too.

Now being covered on the Today programme on Radio 4.

Angry SNP… do they even know what they are arguing about?

This woman is talking mince. Is she a kiwi? Can’t quite place the accent.

PUUUUUULLLLL!

Not competing rights? NOT competing?? She won’t even listen.

‘To hell with you’ - yup he has mailed it! C’mon… mention the womens groups they just haven’t even bothered to engage with.

I just wonder if Sturgeon is using this to push at UK law. If she is successful with GRA reform, then she will have a go at other legislation. She is known for pushing at anything to separate Scotland

Can I check, were the results of the consultations published?

Try to reassure… not just plough on…

She is full of c*. The reforms proposed don’t affect the equality act? She hasn’t a clue…
