Sex Equality and Equity Network - Gender crit network for civil servants.

[fromorbit]

Important new initiative for government workers. This is where a huge fight back is going to happen in behind the scenes government, in memos and meetings. If we don't win in the civil service, it doesn't matter how many demos or cases we win, how many twitter threads we write, sooner or later sex differences will be erased. If you work in government/public sector get involved asp.

"We are happy to announce the launch of our new UK cross-government staff network, the Sex Equality and Equity Network.
SEEN is a staff network committed to promoting and supporting sex equality and equity between women and men in our workplaces, and helping all staff to thrive at work and fulfil their potential. The focus of our network is on challenging sex discrimination and upholding rights and protections that relate to sex (including the protections provided to those with the protected characteristics of sex, pregnancy and maternity and sexual orientation, as set out in the Equality Act 2010). We recognise that to achieve this and ensure sex equality and equity sometimes requires treating women and men differently, according to our different rights and needs.

We are also committed to the protected belief (covered by the protected characteristic of religion and belief in the Equality Act 2010) that biological sex is binary and immutable, that biological sex matters for both women and men in our everyday lives, including for our rights and needs in the workplace, and that biological sex must not be conflated with, or replaced by, the concepts of gender or gender identity."

Oh no, @FuriousBroccoli I don’t know what you wrote or linked to, but is it something that can be rephrased or referred to with info on how to search for it?

@PriOn1 it was Elspeth Dummer Wrigley's latest update on her litigation on behalf of SEEN, I think it must have been deleted as its on the crowd justice site, if you Google her name though it can be found easily.

Thanks. I’ll have a look.

TL:DR is: good news is that the specific case against the chair of SEEN has been withdrawn but the bad news is that there's still a case against the government department.

If that case succeeds there will be serious consequences for SEEN, for SEEN members and GC expression, and possibly again for the chair herself. Gardening is needed so that SEEN is represented in the case.

I have gardened.

Planted a carrot!

Planted some veg. I’m currently outside the CS, but this is still really important to me.

Funding is growing nicely - civil servants draft laws, it is important to all of us that some are prepared to stand up for women. I'll be getting my spade out too.
