Solidarity with the women and girls of the US whose sex based rights have been stolen by the new administration. Sex discrimination in the US has been legalised with obfuscating language, forced pronouns-now an entire nation is being subjected to gaslighting. #Bidenerasedwomen 1/

President Biden's newly signed Executive Order is regressive and discriminatory legislation masquerading as 'right on.'

Lesbians being penalised for objecting to rape culture is utterly heinous.
#Bidenerasedwomen 2/
To every woman and girl who has been attacked, sexually assaulted, raped by a person with a penis. I am so sorry you may have to call that person 'She' in court. That you could be in contempt of court for refusing to say, "Her penis." This has already happened in UK-heartbreaking
Solidarity with girls in young offender institutions, with women in prison, who now have to share their space with biological males. Whose risk of rape, sexual assault, pregnancy & STDs is now increased. I am sorry your President has increased your vulnerability inside

Solidarity with all the young female athletes who may no longer be able to win. To all female athletes and elite sportswomen whose sport, position and money has been stolen by stealth with a stroke of the presidential pen- you have been discriminated against #Bidenerasedwomen 5/
2 the girls who compete in track and other sports, who used to win, until the teenage boys identified as girls and took all the prizes. To the girls who no longer compete...because, why bother, I promise you we will do all we can to win this fight for our shared sex based rights.
Girls in schools and colleges will no longer have their own changing rooms, showers or toilets. Women and children in domestic violence shelters, have lost their safety, privacy and dignity and are now facing increased physical and mental health risks. #Bidenerasedwomen 7/
The right of Lesbians to state they are same sex attracted has been utterly decimated. It is no longer legally permitted in the US, and other countries, to state that being a lesbian means being same sex attracted. Always excludes biological males. Even the ones wearing a dress

To transwidows and children of transitioning father's; I am so sorry your trauma and pain has been swept aside. That you will no longer be able to speak the truth about your experiences for fear of the long arm of an unjust criminal justice system. #Bidenerasedwomen 9/
To every woman and girl who no longer feels safe in a changing room, sauna, or shower, you have my deepest sympathy.
To every woman fighting for equal pay, my heartfelt apologies that there will no longer be accurate reporting on the gender pay gap... #Bidenerasedwomen 10/
..which is actually a sex pay gap, analysis of workforce data on pay and conditions is about to become meaningless. #Bidenerasedwomen 11/
The women & girls of the USA have been gaslit, forced to believe a lie, and surrender their right to safety, privacy and dignity. Their right to accurate data, accurate news reporting and healthcare which knows which bodies are female and which bodies are male has been stolen 12/
US women, get crowdfunding, be ready to take your new government to court, they have breached your human rights. So many of us, all over the world, are standing beside you. We want you to fight for womens sex based rights AND WIN. #Bidenerasedwomen 13/
Meanwhile, if you haven't signed the declaration for Women's For Women's Sex Based rights. Sign it now. We need to be visible. Father's can sign, uncles can sign, brothers can sign and son's can sign too. Stand up for the women and girls in your life #Bidenerasedwomen 14/
Stand up. They can't silence us when we stand together. Sign for the women who can't sign too please; the women who would lose their jobs, their homes, their families, their livelihoods, if they admitted what they know to be true: You cannot change sex END

Hi @officestudents @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @RJHilsenrath @trussliz @GEOgovuk

The Equality and Diversity section of your job application has 'gender' in what appears to be a list of the protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.

However...

1/15


However, 'gender' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.

https://t.co/qisFhCiV1u

Sex is the protected characteristic under the Act, but that is not on your list.

2/15


You then ask for the 'gender' of the applicant with options:

Male
Female.

3/15


Again, 'gender' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.

https://t.co/qisFhCiV1u

4/15


Sex is the protected characteristic and the only two possible options for sex are 'Female' and 'Male' as defined in the Act and consistent with biology, but you don't ask for that.

https://t.co/CEJ0gkr6nF

'Gender' is not a synonym for sex.

This is a piece I've been thinking about for a long time. One of the most dominant policy ideas in Washington is that policy should, always and everywhere, move parents into paid labor. But what if that's wrong?

My reporting here convinced me that there's no large effect in either direction on labor force participation from child allowances. Canada has a bigger one than either Romney or Biden are considering, and more labor force participation among women.

But what if that wasn't true?

Forcing parents into low-wage, often exploitative, jobs by threatening them and their children with poverty may be counted as a success by some policymakers, but it’s a sign of a society that doesn’t value the most essential forms of labor.

The problem is in the very language we use. If I left my job as a New York Times columnist to care for my 2-year-old son, I’d be described as leaving the labor force. But as much as I adore him, there is no doubt I’d be working harder. I wouldn't have stopped working!

I tried to render conservative objections here fairly. I appreciate that @swinshi talked with me, and I'm sorry I couldn't include everything he said. I'll say I believe I used his strongest arguments, not more speculative ones, in the piece.
