Thank you to Sarah Vine KC @SarahvAtDSC 👑, Chris Knight KC and Janet Farrell our brilliant legal team on this. And to @Jebadoo2 @MensNetwork1 who gave a witness statement. Although the High court did not go so far as declaring the @CPSUK guidance unlawful it made stinging criticisms which the CPS will need to respond to when it updates the guidance.

Hi @Channel4News I can help! JK Rowling is definitely NOT funding a legal case over single-sex spaces used by trans people. She could however be funding a case over unions taking money from women members and then doing nothing to defend them when their rights are under attack...

Sandie Peggie says she feels unsupported and discriminated against by her union. Giving evidence today, she told the tribunal she lost faith in the RCN when it failed to take her concerns seriously. @DVanreenen for @PA in @heraldscotland heraldscotland.com/news/nati…

This is a case of huge importance for union members, who need to know if they pay their subs only so that activists can decide their worthiness for basic employment help, based on whether or not they share the same personal biases and preferences as union gatekeepers.

Have been taking a little break, but completely over the moon - and surprised - to win the Outstanding Contribution to health journalism at last night’s @mjauk #MJAawards along with Feature (general) of the year for my work on England’s failing maternity system for @NewStatesman - and in particular for investigating Oxford University Hospital with Channel 4 News. Enormous thanks to all of the mothers and fathers who trusted in me to share their story

The Boston Globe has just published a shockingly sober article about the nonexistent genocide supposedly targeting the transgender community. In it, they cite a report I coauthored showing that the murder rate is actually lower for trans-identifying people than the general population. Our report was responding to the HRC's annual reports pushing the narrative that there is an ongoing "Epidemic of Violence" against the transgender community. The reporter says he "offered the Human Rights Campaign's key researcher, the transgender woman Charleigh Flohr, or anyone else with the organization an opportunity to rebut the Manhattan Institute finding, but they didn't reply to me." That's unsurprising because the HRC is engaging in fundraising propaganda. They don't care about the truth, only promoting the narrative. Our report presenting the actual data is irrefutable. That's why they have nothing to say in response.

Hilarious replies like this from people who identify as lawyers insisting no law has been broken. Dividing toilets into cubicle-only blocks and blocks that include urinals gives double the number of toilets that men can use compared to women, and that IS sex discrimination. FAFO.

In a free country, you are entitled to believe you are a woman with a penis. But not to take it into a female changing room, nor to cheat your way into a female athletic competition, nor in any way to impose your private delusion on the rest of us. theguardian.com/politics/202…

🚨BREAKING: Darlington nurse, Bethany Hutchison and nurse Jennifer Melle are set to give evidence in support of Sandie Peggie's case against the Royal College of Nursing. The case begins in Dundee tomorrow. Sandie, an RCN member for around 30 years, alleges that the world’s largest nursing union discriminated against her because of her gender-critical beliefs by failing to provide adequate advice, support or legal representation after NHS Fife suspended her for objecting to a transgender doctor using a female changing room. Bethany and Jennifer will give evidence about their own experiences of seeking support from the RCN. Sandie said: “I never wanted to be in a position where I was suing my own trade union. Whilst this is regrettable, it is a legal battle which is necessary in order to highlight the extent to which gender ideology has taken hold of the RCN and has been used to silence and malign members standing up for women’s hard fought sex based rights.” Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, which has supported the Darlington and Melle cases, said: “The evidence of Bethany Hutchison and Jennifer Melle will show why Sandie Peggie’s case matters to nurses across the country. “These are dedicated and compassionate nurses who expected their professional body to defend them without fear or favour. Their experiences raise serious questions about whether the RCN has placed adherence to gender identity ideology above its duty to represent members who hold entirely lawful and protected beliefs.” 🔗 Read more: christianconcern.com/ccpress… And breaking in the Daily Express: express.co.uk/news/uk/225071…

"There is more than one way to be a man"

“It looks like King’s College is trying to wriggle around simple separate-sex facilities by making the toilets worse for everyone.” @HJoyceGender in @Telegraph after King’s College Cambridge relabelled male and female toilets as “cubicles/urinals”. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/09…

“They’ve taken dictation from transactivist organisations. If they’d read the law, it was absolutely clear. It said sex means male, female. And everyone knows that. Ask your grandma.” @MForstater joins Nick Ferrari on @LBC to discuss why the Liberal Democrats’ conference motion on single-sex spaces would not change the law.

Zoe Hollowood is incredibly brave to challenge her party in this way. I know what it’s like to state biological sex is real and be attacked for speaking common sense and telling the truth. She is not on my side of the political spectrum, but courage calls to courage everywhere. Zoe should be supported in trying to get the Lib Dems to stop being silly, follow the law and respect the supreme court judgement.

Supreme Court judgement in action! Last night we were out for dinner and one of our party encountered a 6ft man in the ladies. When she pointed out he shouldn’t be there he dismissed her. She was very shaken. We raised our concerns with staff. They told him not to use the ladies & were very respectful & apologetic to us. What a change it is to have the law on our side! Thankyou @ForWomenScot

The UK Maths Olympiad for Girls has finally announced it will use sex to determine eligibility. It is depressing to think how little opportunity maths has given to women in its 3000 year history. 1/3

Congratulations @DrPamGosal 🥳
