"Falkner left her position as #EHRC chair in November 2025 after nearly five years heading the UK’s largest regulator of equality law. During that time, the non-departmental public body became widely condemned for its sudden shift towards what many described as a “transphobic” and politically conservative approach to #HumanRights law."

Former EHRC chair joins ‘gender-critical’ peers targeting abortion rights

Baroness Kishwer Falker, the EHRC's former chair, was among those to support amendments that would ban a form of abortion in the UK.

@PoliceStateUK So Baroness Falkner doesn’t just hate trans people, and that is shocking enough; it seems she hates women generally, and doesn’t think they should have autonomy over their own bodies. Vile.

@HarriettMB @PoliceStateUK

Pretty much par for the course for transphobes. Forstater IIRC has objected to the free provision of period products That's just weird for an ostensibly bio-essentialist ideologue.

Unless it is internalized misogyny after all.

@iaruffell @HarriettMB @PoliceStateUK

That's bs
There should be tampons in every public space. A little box in between bathrooms. Women should get paid time off for periods. I could go on.

@iaruffell @HarriettMB @PoliceStateUK

I'm trans so I don't really need it but I still care

@burnoutqueen @HarriettMB @PoliceStateUK

Yes, the 'phobes were objecting to such provision in Scotland, as part of their campaign against the irredeemably woke Nicola Sturgeon (for which read "trans ally and genuine feminist").

See also campaigns against realistic sex and relationships education.

As the mother of two teenagers, one of whom is cis female, I do care about this sort of thing very much.

@HarriettMB @PoliceStateUK if trans women weren't women, then why do misogynists hate us so much?
