"there is very far from sufficient reliable evidence to establish as a fact that a trans woman who is legally and biologically male is a greater risk to any person assigned female at birth within a changing room environment at a workplace than another woman assigned female at birth"

Look, anyone who wants more than 7 chips is a biological male now. That's how it works under Labour.

Offering smaller portions at a cheaper price (and not just for pensioners or children) would actually be a useful thing menus could do! But why the hell make it gendered?

Seriously, whilst I've yet to see any real evidence of this actually being proposed, it does feed into the push for traditional gender roles, trad wife etc bullshit.
Ever more control of other people's lives based on their own fucked up points of view.
Controlled meal sizes are just the start...

Yeah, this is a great point. Young people are probably more attuned and immune to the modern world of bullshit than us oldies.
im not concerned about young ppl being able to determine what is misinformation online
im concerned about middle aged ppl being able to determine what is misinformation online. especially politicians, journalists, judges, solicitors, and medical professionals

Oooft. Sandie Peggie shared highly offensive messages and was then "untruthful" in giving evidence to the Tribunal.
This is the 'hero' Gender Critical campaigners have chosen.

Could a journalist please ask Joani Reid MP what or who the 'virus' is?
Without clarification, it sounds an awful lot like she thinks the existence and recognition of trans people is the virus. That's far more extreme than even Reform have come out with.

I have the smallest garden, as long as I'm tall, and today I saw blue tits, wrens, a robin, his-n-hers blackbirds, parakeets flew over and one mouse and two squirrels used it as a cut-through. I am THIS FAR from starring on NatureWatch.

Also I would be remiss if I didn't take this opportunity to mention the time I went for a meal at a pub with some family, and when the waitress came around with the cutlery, she handed out smaller sets of utensils to the women.

This is a bit odd. Nobody but the Mail is carrying the story and Labour doesn't have an official obesity spokesperson.

Yeah, I just had to dig through the BBC liveblog, past analysis about her "partial victory", to find the bit that explains NHS Fife has been found to have mishandled some aspects of her complaint, but the actual complaint hasn't been upheld at all.
It’s maddening that I just heard this tribunal decision covered on BBC News, which led with “Sandie Peggie wins her case,” expanded with “Sandie Peggie secures a partial victory,” then only on listening further did it become clear she actually lost on most of the substantive points she was pursuing.
Decision in the Sandie Peggie case.
She was not directly or indirectly discriminated against, her claim of victimisation fails entirely, her claim of harassment fails largely and her claim against Beth Upton fails entirely. www.judiciary.uk/judgments/sa...
