      Is it legal to include/exclude transgender women from swimming in a women-only pond in Hampstead? (thread) /1https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-48380940 …

      Perhaps you could share your take on gender reassignment discrimination? What’s the comparator if a trans woman says she’s been discriminated against on the basis of this characteristic? We know that for sex discrimination it’s men v women. How does this one work? @RadFemLawyer

      I don't know the answer to that sorry, it's not something I have thought through yet. Do you have a suggestion?

      We have asked you more than a month ago to consider this debate. And you have been ignoring us. So I do not think you have not thought it through. You are refusing to think it through. Because you know the starting position, that a penis is female if a male says so, is absurd.

      Hi Alessandra. I don’t want to minimise the seriousness of the issue, or your experiences. Il trying to figure out what the answer is, and the best way I have of doing that is to see what the law is, and says, the effect it has.

      You have every right to be annoyed with me, if you feel I’m fence sitting, or misunderstanding the issue, or failing to empathise. If you want me to come out strongly on one ‘side’ then I’m afraid you are going to continue to be annoyed, and disappointed.

      Adam - you chair the Board of an organisation who's CEO endorses (and presumably holds) the view that 'Gender Critical' is a synonym for 'transphobe' and that 'TERF' is an acceptable way to describe those with gender critical views. https://www.change.org/p/greater-manchester-police-gmp-liam-did-nothing-wrong-do-not-discipline-him …pic.twitter.com/zVXI7bF5nu

          Maya Forstater Retweeted Equality Act 2010

          The organisation that you are responsible does not respond when people raise this issue https://twitter.com/2010Equality/status/1098514076194521088 …. It did not commission any gender critical expert views either during or since the GRA consultation, and has argued that these are not 'voices that matter'

          Surely the Chair of the Board of Directors of a human rights charity that is repeatedly and wilfully misrepresenting UK equalities law by replacing sex with gender has a duty to raise this point with the Board & CEO? Particularly as a human rights barrister?

          Maya you are a star. And again I was too nice. It is too right that we have asked clarity several times, and have been completely ignored. And referred to with terms of abuse. At the very least, @rights_info is out of control. At worse, it is pursuing a clear agenda against women

          Either way Adam can’t just sit back and do nothing about it. There’s a clash of rights here. Females & people who have undergone gender reassignment are both protected by law & the whole of society is affected. We need a sensible, respectful debate where everyone has a voice.
