. @Alex_FeisBryce CEO of @rights_info has been appointed as trustee of @Mermaids_Gender Alex believes people with gender critical views are "transphobes" and defends calling them "TERFs"; a term is associated with threats of violence against women https://www.change.org/p/greater-manchester-police-gmp-liam-did-nothing-wrong-do-not-discipline-him …pic.twitter.com/c3FQWAB83u

Alex approves of this coverage calling protestors hammering for two hours on the windows of a
@Womans_Place_UK meeting (where they would have been welcomed to listen and talk) as "a beautiful moment"pic.twitter.com/jVIrIYb1N6

It's interesting to compare this to
@rights_info 's coverage of the largely silent (there was a little singing at the end) protest in support of Linda Bellos and Venice Allen. Rights Info called this terrifying intimidation https://rightsinfo.org/linda-bellos-faces-trial/ …pic.twitter.com/m5UBaY97wj

Meanwhile Mermaids gives out misleading advice on the Equality Act. It says that it is never legitimate to provide a service that is just for women (ie. female people) . This is clearly nonsense. The first example of single sex service in the Act is cervical smear clinic!pic.twitter.com/UCYlG32CW5

@EHRCChair David Isaac says there ARE complicated issues and competing rights to be solved in securing the human rights of women and transgender males .@rights_info says there are none

I doubt that Mermaid's association w
@rights_info CEO will improve the balance & care of either org. Expect more partisan chearleading for the idea that children can be "born in the wrong body" & that extreme body modification & sterilisation at an early age is an equality goalShow this thread -
Just as Alex is now responsible for Mermaids conduct,
@rights_info 's trustees@AdamWagner1@GeorgePeretzQC are responsible for its conduct, including its policy of no platforming gender critical legal experts, or TERFs, as it's CEO calls them.Show this thread
