Where is the line between lawful speech and hate speech?

The real question isn’t “Do I agree with this?”

It’s “Does this meet the legal test?”

Let’s talk about it 👇

EXCLUSIVE: EHRC IN QUESTION ⚠️

The UK’s human rights watchdog - the EHRC - is now under UN review, following a submission by the Lemkin Institute and the Trans Exile Network

This is about independence.
This is about standards.
This is about protection.

Do you actually know your biological s3x?

Have you ever had it tested?

We assume we know.
The law assumes we know.
But what does it actually mean?

Watch this ⚖️

Europe just said trans women must be recognised within gender equality protections. At the same time, UK law is moving in a different direction.

Follow for clear explanations of what the law actually says. ⚖️

Help us support Girlguiding and the Women’s Institute to remain inclusive | Good Law Project We’re offering to defend the Women’s Institute and Girlguiding against trans exclusion

Girlguiding and the Women’s Institute say that they have been left with no choice but to exclude trans people, even though they don’t want to.

This is outrageous – and we want to defend them. Help us do that here🛡️👇

Yes it seems to be the missing but central piece of the whole puzzle here

Almost everyone is getting this judgment wrong.
The law treats workplaces and public venues differently.
Which means a trans person could have to use one toilet while working — and another when they clock off.
Make it make sense. ⚖️

I am going to share some early thoughts on the GLP v EHRC decision. I don't want to pretend to have any authority but I value my conservations with the rest of you on here. I might add to this thread later. 🧵

“None of us are free until all of us are free” - Fannie Lou Hamer, civil rights activist.

We’re debating “trans rights” like trans people are one thing.

They’re not.

Trans teacher followed home by right-winger Tommy Robinson A teacher was approached at home by Tommy Robinson after parents complained about them allegedly requesting to use the title 'Mx'.

The Venn Diagram between racists and transphobes is a circle.
The actions of the far right against migrants and how likes of many "gender critical activists" act towards trans and non-binary individuals are one and the same.
It was inevitable it would escalate.

The Hampstead Heath ponds remain trans-inclusive! Yay 🥳 Well done @goodlawproject.org and team.

The law backed consultation, not exclusion. The challenge was brought too early and by a group with no standing.

Thoughts?

COUNCIL OF EUROPE BANS CONVERSION THERAPY 🍾

The Council of Europe has just voted to ban conversion practices for sexuality and gender identity.

Anti trans groups tried to stop it.
They failed.

People keep talking about “the trans debate”. But exactly is up for debate?

Interested to hear your thoughts below.

#transrights #transdebate #media #government #humanrights

DISCOMFORT < SAFETY.

You’re allowed to feel uncomfortable.
You’re not entitled to automatically exclude someone because of it.

Feelings are human.
Rights are legal.

The full interview with Ivy & Normanton is now live.

We discussed professionalism at the Bar, the role of tradition, and why comfort and authenticity are not at odds with credibility — they often support it.

What does professionalism mean to you in practice?

Hey Ashley, do you have a good one liner as to why biological sex is not an acceptable term? I would like to use with judges if I come across in court etc

The Darlington nurses judgment is out.

In Part 1, I explain:
• what the case was actually about
• which claims succeeded and which failed
• and why this is the first time indirect sex discrimination has succeeded in this type of case

➡️ Part 2 follows.

Feels like an appropriate day to repost my article in DLA Briefings on the human rights implications of treating trans people as a third sex

'A third sex: returning to an intermediate zone'

“Sex can’t change…or can it?”

From intersex bodies, to hormones, to history, the idea that sex is fixed and simple just doesn’t hold up.

So grateful to have spoken on the Proud Futures / Leading with Pride panel on ‘Creating Change in Challenging Times’.

Huge credit to Ellis and Lou for hosting with care and clarity, and for organising the whole day so thoughtfully. It really showed. 💛

“So I can just decide to be trans today if I want, right?”

No. That misunderstands both lived reality and the law.

Understanding matters. Misinformation causes harm.
