Some WESC submissions that are worth a read....(my thread of bookmarks)

Judge Paula Grey is president of the Gender Recognition Panel

She doesn't make any recommendations, but she sets out how the process currently works

Which chimes with my analysis of the GRP User Panel and statistics https://t.co/XixEz7lNJv

She is also co-author if the Equal Treatment Bench Book and writes about how the judges are trained by Gendered Intelligence
There is the government's own response

On single sex spaces they say the law is clear that service providers are able to restrict access to spaces on the basis of biological sex where there is clear justification.
The response from @womensaid is significant.

Their members want trans survivors to get support they need but not by undermining their ability to serve women with female staff & female only services

They highlight lack of clarity

This was their position in 2015

They have moved on alot - they have been consulting with members since last year, and have had the courage to say what their members told them, not what Stonewall wanted to hear

https://t.co/CM3V0mL02u
You remember this is the report that Stonewall commissioned from @nfpSynergy where they interviewed managers of women's domestic violence services and heard *none of this*

Something wrong with this listening process I think!

. @Transgendertrd 's evidence is excellent and full of evidence - focused on young people, particularly girls

@cwknews @charlesworth102 and the team

Then there is the evidence from @SexMattersOrg - which draws on the gender dissidents survey that I did in the summer, the GRP User Group minutes, the paper by @RebeccaMKBull and Alesandra Asteriti and the work of @mbmpolicy

Barnardos have lost the plot.

Obviously they submitted this evidence before Keira Bell v Tavistock - maybe they will have a rethink?

They seem to have lost all sight of safeguarding principles https://t.co/xgnx7dLz0x
In particular they are concerned about the " risk of unnecessary disclosure within educational institutions" of a child's sex.

They want adults to keep secrets with children, and to lie to other children about sex.
The BMA's evidence is interesting in that none of relies on refers to medical expertise.

They say that GD is neither a medical or a MH issue based on survey responses to the govts consultation.

What is the point of doctors or medical research, eh?

Sport England say more guidance is needed.

(but they also seem to have forgotten sex in their commitment to equality, at paragraph 11. Sex Matters!)

Ruth Pearce who gave oral evidence provides supplementary evidence which, extraordinarily, accuses the other presenters Kathleen Stock, Rosa Freedman and Alice Sullivan of "distortions" and "untruths"

This is what Pearce says about the Swedish Study.

These were *not* the findings of the Swedish study....
Here is my earlier thread on the Swedish Study https://t.co/cblSWsRfvQ

More from Law

This issue was repeatedly highlighted bu Judge Totenberg:

Dominion’s system “does not produce a voter-verifiable paper ballot or a paper ballot marked with the voter’s choices in a format readable by the voter because the votes are tabulated solely from the unreadable QR code.”


Judge also found that Dominion's QR codes are NOT encrypted:

“Evidence plainly contradicts any contention that the QR codes or digital signatures are encrypted,”

This was “ultimately conceded by Mr. Cobb and expressly acknowledged later by Dr. Coomer during his testimony.”

Judge Totenberg said there was “demonstrable evidence” that the implementation of Dominion’s systems by Georgia placed voters at an “imminent risk of deprivation of their fundamental right to cast an effective vote,” which she defined as a “vote that is accurately counted.”

Judge Totenberg found that Dominion Systems inherently could not be audited.

She noted that auditors are severely limited and “can only determine whether the BMD printout was tabulated accurately, not whether the election outcome is correct.“

Totenberg stated in her ruling that a BMD printout “is not trustworthy” and the application of an Risk-Limiting audit (RLA) to an election that used BMD printouts “does not yield a true risk-limiting audit.”

Georgia used RLAs to claim no fraud...
