pan style=”font-size: 11pt”>Human resources and staff networks have advised civil servants that the policies remain in effect while they are under review, despite many advising that transgender people are able to use whichever facilities they feel most comfortable with.

The Daily Mail reported that members of the PCS union were pushing to ensure any government guidance that imposed single-sex spaces based on biology was “vigorously opposed”.

A government spokesperson said: “We will update policy wherever it is necessary and will be guided by the revised EHRC code of practice when it becomes available.”

But it's the law. The law now.

However, one civil servant said: “The culture at a departmental level has got worse as a result of the Supreme Court ruling. There is still a culture of fear around speaking up about the biological nature of sex, and gender-critical women are still openly being called bigoted, Nazis and racist for their views.

“The prevailing narrative is that the Supreme Court ruling is a great injustice to trans people, with most comms focusing on supporting transgender colleagues and allies. Most people do not feel able to speak up or challenge policies, all of which remain in place despite directly contradicting the ruling.”…

Maya Forstater, chief executive of the charity Sex Matters, said: “Whitehall’s failure to follow the law is a national scandal. It should lead by example but refusing to implement the Supreme Court judgment smacks of ideological extremism.

“There has been widespread defiance across the public sector, and with even senior civil servants now flouting the judgment and the law, political leadership and intervention is urgently needed.

“The judgment could not have been clearer, and there is no excuse for delaying any change to unlawful policies. Government departments and regulators are knowingly sitting on a ticking time bomb and will only put themselves at further risk of legal action by refusing to make the necessary changes.”

Trans ideology goes beyond the sexism of the past in that it seeks to actually eradicate women as a sex class. And the reporting of inaccurate data will allow TiMs to commit violent acts against women–or achieve athletic success–as "women." This is misogyny on steroids.

The so-called feminists that support gender ideology are third wave/intersectional feminists. Intersectional feminists are to feminism what National Socialists were to socialism. That is, they aren't feminists. No feminist would say, e.g., that prostitution is "empowering."

Again from Genevieve Gluck at Reduxx:

A trans-identified male residing in Colorado has been charged with sexual assault, kidnapping, and false imprisonment after taking a woman hostage for three days. On November 30, Hannah Viramontes, 26, took the unidentified female victim captive to abuse as a “sex slave,” and told her he would kill her if she tried to escape. Viramontes, previously known as Cameron Mauldin, is accused of brutally beating and torturing the victim before she was able to escape and contact authorities.

Local news reports have referred to Viramontes simply as a “woman,” with no mention of his transgender status or biological sex.

He beat the woman, and sexually assaulted her.

When officers arrived on the scene, they discovered the victim had sustained multiple serious injuries, including “severe” bruising to her face. She was also riddled with puncture and bite marks, and was taken to a hospital for treatment, where a doctor determined she was at “a substantial risk of serious permanent disfigurement.”

But, such is the power of the gender cult, the press lied rather than say the attacker was a man. Following cult doctrine overrules any requirement to tell the truth.

Also:

Reduxx has also learned that Viramontes had previously played American-style football on a local women’s team. According to a 2021 Facebook post, Viramontes played the contact sport against female opponents on the Rocky Mountain Thunderkatz as a linebacker.

The team, which is semi-professional and under the umbrella of the Women’s Football Alliance, has boasted of being “LGBTQ inclusive,” and has previously made posts using the progress pride flag filter on Facebook.

Genevieve Gluck at Reduxx:

A woman in Brazil is currently under police investigation for “transphobia” after she posted a joke online about archaeologists being able to discern a person’s sex by observing differences in bone structure. Speaking at a women’s rights protest in Rio de Janeiro in April, Karen Mizuno revealed that she was notified by police that she was facing possible criminal charges because she had mocked a trans activist who had stated that “archaeologists are transphobic.”

Mizuno explained that her ordeal began after an article was circulated about Lucy, a well-known fossil of a female human ancestor which dates back approximately 3.2 million years.

“The situation was, there was an article going around about the bones belonging to the fossil of Lucy, and how the archaeologists found out that she was a woman, because of the pelvic bone,” Mizuno said. “Trans activists were saying that attesting that Lucy was a woman, because of her female pelvic bone, was transphobia. In other words, they said she could be a trans man. They really think that someone who lived three million years ago had a ‘gender identity.’ It’s an unreasonable argument, an anachronism.”

It's fucking ridiculous is what it is.

She continued: “I took screen shots of the tweet with these accusations of alleged ‘transphobia’ by the archaeologists, which said exactly the following: ‘This tweet reminds me of something I never see people talking about. Archaeologists are indeed transphobic. That so-called Lucy, for example, are they inferring she was a woman based on the bones alone? Does that mean that if I die, in 500 or 5000 years someone might disrespect my gender because of that?”

Mizuno took a screen shot of the comment and posted it with her own commentary, writing: “With each passing day, human extinction ceases to become a fear and becomes something to hope for.” Mizuno explains that it was intended to be a light-hearted joke.

She was informed later by the police that a criminal investigation had been opened into her comments.

Mizuno explains that police first became aware of her while they were probing the social media of Isabela Cêpa, another women’s rights activist who they were similarly investigating for criminal “transphobia.” As previously reported by Reduxx, Cêpa has been threatened with up to 25 years in prison for “misgendering” a transgender politician named Erika Hilton.

Strange country, Brazil. 

Despite being a very conservative country, Brazil has some of the most extensive laws against transphobia in the world. In 2019, Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court ruled that discrimination against ‘LGBTQ Community’ constituted a penal offense, but fell under existing race-based protections as a form of “social racism.”

tions”, before stating that the college “expects the trust to comply with these statutory provisions and provide single-sex changing rooms without delay”.

However, campaigners representing the women have said that three days after the letter was sent, the trust director re-published its “transitioning in the workplace policy”, without any changes to the guidance, which, it is claimed, said that a biological man can change in the female staff changing rooms.

The only sign of hope here is that at least the Royal College of Nursing seems to have got the message.

les and police documents. He went on to publish a series of stories in 2012 and 2013 about how grooming gangs were acting with “virtual impunity” in the South Yorkshire town.

South Yorkshire police knew exactly what was happening. They knew the girls, they knew the men, the places they were taking these children to and they shrugged their shoulders and did nothing. Rotherham metropolitan borough council sought to block his first story in May 2012 with a High Court injunction, but failed to turn up on the day of the hearing. It was published in The Times a day later. The police launched a criminal inquiry into the leak and accused The Times of “exploiting the victims”.

Finally, Rotherham council ordered an independent inquiry in August 2013 because, its chief executive admitted, “The Times won’t leave us alone”. Professor Alexis Jay’s report in 2014 found that 1,400 girls had been groomed and abused in Rotherham since the late 1990s. Children had been trafficked to other cities. Some were doused with petrol and told they would be set alight if they told anyone. The council was placed in special measures. Heads rolled. Norfolk would win the Paul Foot award and the Orwell prize for his investigations and was named the 2014 Journalist of the Year at the British Journalism Awards.

Not that there's been any kind of happy ending to the whole wretched saga.

and now Naomi Cunningham effectively hands the poor man his arse on a plate with her response: Gender doesn't matter.

It's worth reading in full, but…

Finally, Norrie claims that Court’s decision exacerbates bad relations between the trans community and those who insist that gender and sex are biological matters. Bearing in mind that this is chiefly a conflict between men and women — on the one hand, men who want access to women’s spaces, to bully or shame women into accepting opposite-sex intimate care, to elbow women aside in their own sports categories; and on the other, the women who say “no” to those men — the complaint that restoring women’s rights to them exacerbates bad relations is dismaying. If women would only be good and obedient, men wouldn’t have to get angry with them.

Conclusion:

The legal reasoning in Norrie’s blog post is surprisingly weak. In fairness to Professor Norrie, it should be remembered that this is in the nature of a “first pass” at a substantial Supreme Court judgment in an area of law in which he is not a specialist. What is more disquieting is his approach to a conflict between men’s wishes and women’s privacy, dignity, autonomy and safety which displays a tender empathy for men who want to be women while stereotyping women’s meticulously evidenced objections as feigned or hysterical. Norrie’s call for kindness is in truth a thinly disguised demand for submission. 

n guidance, The Telegraph can reveal.

The health service was previously set to introduce a minimum age of seven for children to be seen by its specialist gender clinics, claiming anything less was “just too young”.

The limit was removed after the proposals were put out to consultation, with new guidance due to be published showing that children of any age are eligible.

However, a source close to the consultation process said NHS England had “caved to the pressure” of trans activists to remove the limits.

The children are not given powerful drugs such as puberty blockers at the clinics, but are offered counselling and therapy along with their family.

Up to 10 children of nursery age are being treated, according to new data, while as many as 157 children aged nine or younger have been referred to the clinics.

"Caved in" to pressure from trans activists. Well perhaps….but it's hardly a tidal wave of cases – "up to 10 children of nursery age" – and they're not giving out puberty blockers. And there are children who claim to have gender dysphoria. Or rather, whose parents claim their children have gender dysphoria, and have been fooled into believing the "born in the wrong body" nonsense.

Stephanie Davies-Arai, the director of Transgender Trend, said: “Although it seems unbelievable that children under five are being referred to the new gender hubs, it was a recommendation of the Cass review that children are seen as early as possible.

“This makes sense because parents have been given such bad advice for so long, and may believe their child is ‘transgender’.”

She added: “Trans lobbyists have told parents that children know their ‘gender identity’ from age three and there is no harm in ‘affirming’ a child’s identity. It is important that these parents can get proper information and sensible advice from the gender hubs rather than listening to activists.”

It's the parents rather than the children who need the counselling and therapy.

Helen Joyce:

“The question for the new NHS hubs is whether they perpetuate the failed ‘affirmation’ model of the now-closed GIDS clinic, in which case parents should keep their children well away, or whether they offer genuinely holistic care based on evidence, not ideology."

Still the best:
