      I think @rights_info 's coverage of the question of how proposals for gender self ID will impact on women's rights has been woefully inadequate and skewed. When I raised this with founder and chair @AdamWagner1 he told me to make an official complaint

      Rights Info describe it as “A Highly Charged Atmosphere” "Intimidation". The person who brought the case against Linda & Venice was "Terrified of turning up at court….from the point of view of my personal safety.” “They have made me frightened and they have made me scared”

      Rights Info replied "The Collins dictionary definition of ”highly charged” is “a situation [which] is extremely tense and emotional, and likely to make people have very strong reactions”. Many protests fit within this definition and this particular protest grew to 100 people.

          "In this regard, the description by our journalist using the adjective “highly charged” was a reasonable description based on their experience of the protest"

          And this is how they have responded to women asking them to at least state that sex"is a protected characteristic in law instead of inaccurately replacing it with "gender" https://twitter.com/2010Equality/status/1098254604582699008 …pic.twitter.com/0OfKvsxWh6

          In response to my complaint they say "RightsInfo is a small news organisation with limited resources, and is not able to cover all stories, with the editorial team taking decisions on a day-to-day basis"

          So what they are saying is there has been no systematic decision not to cover this stuff.... it was just something that slipped through the cracks 🙄

          This response came from the "Rights Info team". But Rights info is a charity. Its objects are to promote human rights (which include women's rights based on sex). This is the responsibility of the board. The complaints process was a dead end @AdamWagner1.pic.twitter.com/rl7ZcReNDy
