The judge is attempting to exert control over Naomi Cunningham's speech. All sexism and misogyny are about male control. The entire trans phenomenon is about perfecting male control to the point of abolishing women as a sex class and allowing them to exist only as a class they share with men. It's all insidious and if it is allowed to prevail, the cultural consequences will be inestimable.

I do not subscribe to your ideology, which means I do not believe in ‘cis’ and ‘trans’ in the essentialist way you apply the terms. I don’t believe anyone is ‘born in the wrong body’ because I don’t believe in gendered essences or souls. Gender dysphoria exists, as does fetishism. As far as human rights go, a man’s motivation for presenting as a woman is irrelevant. Society either agrees they’re all women if they want to be, or that they’re men with diverse motivations, none of which entitle them to women’s spaces.

I am disabled. I have multiple sclerosis. Just so you know, there aren't many people who can win a game of protected characteristic bingo against me.

Self-ID has never been the law. Instead of lying to all & sundry that it was & trying to force the truly idiotic & quite obviously dangerous idea that any old bloke who claims to be a woman is a woman, transactivism should've been fighting for a *suitable* balance of provision…

We don’t share women’s facilities with gay men, disabled men, young men, old men or any other vulnerable men. We won’t do it for trans-ID men either. It would eliminate the protection those spaces offer to us. And we fought for them. They are ours...

Owen, men’s incessant, ubiquitous violence against women & girls results in 3 murders a week in the UK alone.
So no, we won’t share our few places of refuge -which allow us to take part in public life – with trans-ID men, which means any man who’ll say the words “I’m a woman”…

I've never seen any evidence that trans-identified men face an enhanced risk of assault in men's loos.
But in case they do, the @EHRC Code says that, wherever practicable, additional mixed sex options should be made available.
Another option is for men to stop hitting other men
The risk of a trans woman being abused or assaulted in the men’s toilet per visit = extremely high.
The risk of a woman being abused or assaulted in the women’s toilet per visit = extremely low.

You do understand that the "trans woman" has a chance against the other man though right? In fact it seems they're more aggressive than the average man...
Women have no chance against men.
Please do your best to enter the real world one day.

That claim comes without evidence, but even taken at face value it does not settle the question. It simply confirms that suitable, safe provision is needed for trans people. The EHRC Code recognises exactly that.
What it does not establish is that women must surrender single-sex spaces to solve somebody else’s safeguarding needs.
And this is not just about toilets. The Code covers services, public functions and associations. It matters for women’s refuges, hospital wards, changing rooms, therapeutic support groups, communal accommodation, sporting provision, women-only organisations and the right of women to meet and organise as women.
Those protections exist because sex matters. Privacy matters. Dignity matters. Safety matters. A woman escaping male violence should not be told her boundaries count for less than somebody else’s identity. A female patient should not have her dignity treated as negotiable. Women should not lose the right to gather as a sex class because acknowledging sex has become politically inconvenient.
Trans people remain protected under the Equality Act. The Code specifically addresses the need for appropriate alternatives, such as mixed-sex or individual lockable facilities, so people are not left without usable provision.
That is how rights are balanced: proper provision for trans people, and the preservation of women’s single-sex rights.
What is not balance is demanding that every male person who identifies as a woman must be admitted to women’s spaces, then branding women discriminatory when they object.
Women’s rights do not stop at the toilet door.

Maybe stop hitting trans identified men in the male loos then? And tell your mates, as well. Problem solved.

Fascinating and in depth article by @PaulKnaggs for Labour Heartlands on the framing of the ‘trans debate’ around toilets rather than women’s fundamental rights.
It’s an accurate observation of a highly successful PR campaign. Across the media, presenters last week repeatedly asked women if they feel guilty about men who can’t use their toilets, businesses who can’t afford to build more toilets, and disabled people whose toilets are suggested as alternatives.
But most importantly they’ve not bern asking about anything except toilets. Specifically they’ve failed to ask men/trans campaigners why they don’t understand that if they are included in the legal meaning of ‘woman’, women themselves have no rights at all on the basis of sex.
It follows a pattern of successful ‘identity’ media campaigns, with which news outlets collude because 1. their proponents are very top down and powerful and 2. they advance men’s rights. Previous examples include lived experience journalism, no debate, the narrative of victimhood and the infinite necessity of a trans male contributor.
This excellent article also looks at the impact:- ‘The cost has been real and it has fallen on working class women in particular’.

When women say they are being silenced, this is what they mean…
Today, I was given a permanent ban of posting on my Facebook page, @Meta. The page can exist - apparently - but I am not allowed to post on it anymore. The page has been deemed controversial due to the Giggle v Tickle case and increased popularity of 25,000 new followers in a week. I don't want to labor the irony of being banned on a social networking platform while fighting in court for the right to ban men from a woman only social networking platform, it is what it is. Frankly, I'd love to have the same right that you do, @Meta.
Women are routinely punished for not accepting men as women. It doesn't turn those men into women. Nothing will.

Deeply disturbing evidence emerging today in court of the ignorance about @UKLabour's Equality Act shown by @ManCityCouncil's managers.
LWD sisters have been listening with horror today.
@10DowningStreet @SteveReedMP @bphillipsonMP - take heed.
What an extraordinary day at the Lorna Young vs Manchester City Council employment tribunal.
Lorna is taking her former employer, Manchester City Council, to an employment tribunal for unfair dismissal on the grounds of religion or belief. She holds gender critical beliefs.
It started off with over 200 pages of new disclosures. Sent at 8:30pm last night. In a format the claimant's legal team couldn't download.
MCC Manager Sarah Narici the investigating officer found the evidence so offensive she couldn’t send it via @ManCityCouncil email system, when the tweets were read out the only thing she appeared to find an issue with was ‘But force women out of their jobs for saying that sex is real?’ from @jk_rowlings infamous tweet.
Later this witness tells us that she thinks trans-age belief is protected under the Equality Act! Unfortunately due to sound issues @tribunaltweets missed this - but we didn’t - we heard her answer Yes to the question ‘Are trans-age people protected under the Equality Act 2010’ even after Nathan Roberts, barrister for Lorna Young pointed out it means adults could identify children. Absolutely shocking that this senior member of staff at @ManCityCouncil has such a poor understanding of Equality law she is investigating someone else about.
Lorna Young’s manager from 2023, Sharmila Kar didn’t think Stephen Whittle’s presentation at a Council LGBTQi Network event she organised linked gender critical views with transphobia.
The title of the presentation was ‘The Triumph of Organised Transphobia. Exploring the political, legal and social impact of the Supreme Court Ruling in For Women Scotland’.
She appeared to admit to putting her name to emails she neither wrote nor understood and could therefore tell us nothing about decisions that were made or who made them.

“One of the most chilling, disturbing & stupid parts of the decision is [the judges] have said that it is direct discrimination because I have acknowledged he looks like a man & looking like a man is a protected characteristic of being a ‘transwoman’.”

Just a reminder, not only does Polanski say women can have penises, he wants men to have access to rape crises centres "however they identify".
Of course, his deputy would have us believe we're the weird ones for giving a damn about dignity & safety of domestic abuse survivors.
