Today it's Amnesty Internation on Woman's Hour to discuss the Supreme Court judgment

[nauticant]

With Anita Rani. I am not expecting much in the way of challenges.

Straight away, it's about fearful trans people facing discrimination.

The judgment is apparently "about 30 pages".

This is going to be bad.

Just switching on. Is his a man or woman or trans man from AI?

Anita Rani wants to know about the sad stories from trans people.

Ha!
RMW got name checked, ‘…on Wednesday it was the turn of Sex Matters…’. Can they not bear to even mention Helen’ name?!

It sounds like the lives of trans people are now going to be very hard.

The main take away of the judgment is to protect trans people.

Ah - you beat me to it nauticant! Ignore my other thread, all.

Sasha's voice instantly declaring Sasha's angle on this.

The Supreme Court should have heard from trans people. But at least the judgment talked about protecting trans people.

Hahahaha. Stonewall were invited onto WH and turned down the opportunity.

‘We think everyone deserves privacy…’ apart from women, obviously

Stonewall declined to take part in today's programme. I wonder why?!

Sorry about that, I thought there should be a thread up to catch the beginning of the segment.

All about the men. Again.

Nice to know that 'other women' are at least considered alongside trans women when discussing domestic violence 🤔

Surely the most important thing about this law clarifying womens rights is about how it applies to women not how it applies to trans identified men

Sacha Deshmukh - CEO of Amnesty. A man AFAIK.

He doesn’t seem to understand the SC process at all.

Call the programme!

Rani gritting her teeth - 'some people would say women's rights are human rights'

WHAT ABOUT RESPECT IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!! IT'S ALL ONE WAY!! AARGH. Listening to this is not good for my blood pressure.

Amnesty: The important thing is to protect "everyone's human rights".

The suggestion is that focusing on women's rights is wrong.

It’s all about the rights of the 1%. Let’s just ignore the 51% of population that are impacted.

'The law is clear' he says, 'trans people cannot be discriminated against.'

Mate, the law is clear that women's single sex spaces do not admit men.

Stonewall. Wasn’t us guv. We’re just the nice kind people with all the rainbows. No… we didn’t tell you to do that, you must have misunderstood. You see it was only guidance.

Amnesty is another one to say that we mustn't act in response to the judgment. Implying that the EHRC guidance shouldn't be followed.

Anita actually pushing him on this - has she finally ditched #be kind?

Tbf, Rani is pushing back a bit and asking for clarification. 'Are you saying organisations shouldn't abide by the guidance?'

Anita Rani is being about 100x better than I was expecting. It was a very low bar, mind you.

He keeps saying the judgment is 30 pages long - he hasn’t read it, has he?
