@Fat_Farang @Natasha_Jay the UK Parliament did. The #UKSupremeCourt then decided that the words in the legislation didn't mean what they said they meant, and our dear, principled, human rights lawyer Prime Minister #Starmer rolled over and said "oh, yes, of course you learned judges are right, laws don't mean what they say they mean."

After all, what good is the rule of law if judges can't just arbitrarily change it?

#JKRowling was #reported to the #police for #transphobic #insults against #IndiaWilloughby.

"She committed a #crime by calling me a #man. I'm legally a #woman," Willoughby said citing it as a violation of the #EqualitiesAct and #genderrecognitionact highlighting the tweet Rowling sent to 14 million followers.

#JKRowling would prefer two years in #jail over using a #trans #person’s #correct #pronouns.

— #SendHerOFF Then. If she feels the same in two years, extend the sentence for two more years, then ask her again, repeat until she changes her mind.

There is an open debate to be had about spaces reserved to natal women, trans women in women's sport, and more besides. But English Labour's decision to continue with the medicalisation of gender transition is regressive and inhumane.

I hope that the Scottish and Welsh Labour parties continue to think for themselves.

Solidarity with trans-women and men, and natal-women. This is about human rights and dignity.
