1. Another batch of submissions to the @Commonswomequ GRA inquiry have been published, including our own. We will link to some of the most interesting in this thread.

https://t.co/w0TAYjMCOn
"We recommend the removal of the term ‘gender’ when they actually mean ‘sex’...

2. from all official documents, and a public information campaign to do the same across the whole of the UK."

"We recommend anyone issued with a GRC is told very clearly that their sex has not changed, and they are not entitled to the rights of the opposite sex."
3. From a @MerchedCymru woman:
"I know of one school in Cardiff where the School, despite complaints to the School and Governors, have deliberately replaced single-sex provision with mixed-sex provision........done in the name of “inclusivity”"

4. Very interesting from Judge Paula Gray, the President of the GenderRecognition Panel:
"Panel induction training included talks by trans people, and we were addressed on the background to the...Act through an academic approach by Prof. Steven Whittle. "

5. From @AnnMSinnott at the AEA:

"The law is clear but the same cannot be said for guidance on EA2010 from the EHRC nor from the GEO."
(Ms Sinnott is seeking judicial review of this guidance, see her profile for details.)

6. From the @GEOgovuk and @trussliz

"The law is clear that service providers are able to restrict access to single-sex spaces on the basis of biological sex if there is a clear justification"

https://t.co/tDBys7I2rN
7. From @Transgendertrd who have done so much to speak up for children:

"I argue that education and policy for children and young people must be grounded in objective reality as a matter of children’s human rights."

https://t.co/pfKWTaa3Fr
8. From @SexMattersUK

"Employers are adopting policies that allow males who identify as women (on a full or part time basis) to use women’s toilets, changing rooms and showers."

https://t.co/33eXADZOq5
9. From @ReSistersU in Nottingham:

"It is heartbreaking to see teenagers who have so little understanding of the adult world believe that they can choose which sex they are as adults."

https://t.co/wpMMiJLfSc
10. From @ALLIANCELGB

"We hope this Inquiry will reject the narrative that the rights of believers in the nebulous notion of “gender identity” matter more than the rights of those who assert the importance of biological sex".

https://t.co/4IBHbvNGom
11. From @LGBAllies_Cymru

"We call for a strengthening of the provisions in the Equality Act2010 to protect the single-sex exemptions and access to women-only spaces to be for (natal) women only, as per the intention of the Act."

https://t.co/nziEINYozK
12. From @MerchedCymru

"Clear guidance is needed to ensure that women can be confident in asserting our rights to single sex provision and maintaining our lawful boundaries, and for organisations to be able to lawfully restrict provision based on sex."

https://t.co/M3BDKY9vJU
13. From @whrcuk
"Men who claim a female ’gender identity’ are being enabled to access opportunities, services, spaces and protections set aside for women. This constitutes a form of discrimination against women...."

14. We believe there were in the region of 2000 submissions and we know many of our allies have yet to have theirs published. We will update you whenever more are added. (295 so far).
There are no dates given for further oral evidence sessions as yet, nor who the speakers may be.

The Nashville Operation - A Battle in the War

A thread exploring the Nashville bombing in the context of the 2020 Digital War (via SolarWinds) against the United States perpetrated by our enemies, likely China, Iran and/or Russia.


SolarWinds Hack

A digital "Pearl Harbor" moment for the United States, whoever was responsible had access to the keys to the kingdom for months during 2020, including sensitive military infrastructure. This is war!

SunGard + SolarWinds

SolarWinds software company is owned by same company that owns SunGard, which essentially provides data center services. A secure place to host internet servers with redundant power and "big pipe" data connections.

https://t.co/U3P3SrrkM1


SunGard Data Center

In Nashville, around the corner from their "big pipe" connection, AT&T. Like any data center, highly secure. Only authorized personnel can enter, and even fewer can access the actual server rooms. Backup generators are available in case of power failure.


If the SunGard hardware was being used to "host" critical command and control software related to SolarWinds, the US powers would be very interested in gaining special access keys that are stored on the hard-drives of specific servers.
