I don’t actually think it’s a conspiracy, but I do think this is all part of a particular grim kind of affliction you might call “Policy Exchange Brain”.

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

I realise I post in outrage here far too often, and it’s probably bad the mind and soul.
But I can’t really explain the effect of all the little cuts - that within the week of leaving her job, the chair of the “independent” human rights refused can go on TV and attack my community’s human rights.

Kishwer Falkner, the former EHRC chair, is on Sky saying the Labour government is anti-women, citing not just trans issues but also grooming gangs and what she calls pandering to Islam and racial sensitivities. She's not exactly dispelling the idea she was a political actor when she led the EHRC.

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too:
"There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done."
All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

The chair of the EHRC at the time was Trevor Phillips, who has now said the SC judgement was the correct interpretation of the EA.
Isn’t it time for him to answer some questions about why he signed off a hugely consequential piece of secondary legislation that he apparently thought was inaccurate?

Snake oil salesmen like… the EHRC in 2011 who published trans inclusive statutory guidance approved by parliament? Hard to keep up here…
Kishwer Falkner in The Times talking about the rights of "biological people". As compared to trans people, who are, of course, non-biological.

"Migration is a positive thing for our country"
"We need migration"
"We need fair and managed migration"

Apropos of the Femi news, I continue to observe an interesting phenomenon of the way the left/centre left has split so differently compared to the Corbyn years.

It’s a tough time to be a feminist who is not a gender essentialist.

The Edinburgh ET found that the 1992 regs on toilets and facilities refer to “biological sex”. However, it also held that workplace toilet access should be organised according to putative sex (per Croft), a position close to but not identical to the Good Law Project’s argument before the High Court.

People need to understand that the neoreactionary movement is one thing with different faces it presents to the public, as demonstrated in the recent BBC shenanigans: the gender crackpots, domestic fascists and genocide enthusiasts are all on the same page with the international fascists.
