Ever heard a phrase that sounds totally reasonable but actually hides a deeper (and often harmful) meaning? That’s a dog whistle - coded language designed to manipulate conversations without sounding outright hostile. 🎭🔍
How do you identify dog whistles? #dogwhistle

Received in the post today my colleague David Renton’s fab new book ‘Freedom of Speech and Employment Law’ which I played a very minor role in going through last year before it went to print.
I would definitely recommend this book for anyone navigating freedom of expression in the workplace very relevant in today’s political climate and following the court of appeal Judgment in Higgs v Farmor’s School (which I have thoughts on, for another day).
Why is Trump banning diversity and inclusion initiatives, and can he actually do that?
Here I break down the two recent executive orders allegedly banning DEI/D&I initiatives, and explain how far they apply.
What are your thoughts about the attempted roll back or D&I in the US?

Trump’s Executive Order & the Fight Against It 🚨
Following up on my last video about Trump’s latest order supposedly banning “gender ideology,” here’s a breakdown of the key parts that actually matter.
Hate to say it (!) but, as predicted, the right is using “gender ideology extremism” as a weapon to erase gender identity - aka, to deny the existence of trans and non-binary people. It’s disturbing, but not surprising.
To my trans siblings across the pond: I see you, I stand with you. 💜
🎥 “There are only two genders, male and female.”
Trump’s new policy for the USA 🇺🇸—but is there really only two genders??? 🤔
Let’s get into it:
✍️ Male and female = sexes, not genders. Let’s start there.
🌈 Non-binary, genderqueer, gender-fluid, two-spirit… these identities exist and matter.
🔬 And science? Intersex people (1.7% of the population!) are living proof that even sex isn’t binary.
💪 We will not stop existing. Survival itself is an act of resistance.
Gender identity or gender ideology? Part 1…
As Trans awareness Week is ending I want to ask whether gender identity is something different from gender ‘ideology’ and if so why? Does it go deeper somehow? Is it psychosomatic? Should it be pathologised?
Comment below and share as I’d love to have as many views as possible on this.
