Let that sink in. An NHS Integrated Care Board was willing to argue that evidence-based medicine is "just an opinion" and also not cogent or coherent.
Replying to @tribunaltweets
because she held a protected belief in the integrity of evidence-based medicine. The respondent defends all claims and specifically the latter claim by pleading that evidence-based medicine is just an opinion, not cogent or coherent and not relevant to a weighty or substantial aspect of human life and behaviour

If ‘female’ is ‘nothing to do with sex’ then ‘human’ is nothing to do with life on Earth The bullshit needs to end
Say that to any woman currently in labour.

Afghan women are as deserving of respect, autonomy and dignity as every other woman in the world. The lack of meaningful reprisals for the flagrant human rights abuses visited upon Afghan women by the Taliban shames the international community.

Five years ago today, the Taliban took Kabul, then Afghanistan. Today marks five years of women and girls being stripped of their freedom, education, work and futures. Those women who have survived this long are still there, still waiting and struggling. They deserve their freedom. 1/12

It's that feeling that all they ever wanted was an excuse. That massive sigh of relief - now we can stop pretending women matter, and blame them while we're at it
EXCLUSIVE: Powerful Labour unions will boycott the party’s women’s conference this year in protest at the ban on trans women. Unison, Aslef, Usdaw and the Musicians Union will not attend Labour Women’s Conference in September over the exclusion of trans women from formal business at the event. The unions are among Labour’s largest financial backers and say the all-women event in Liverpool breaches their policies on trans inclusion.

This is fascinating and likely sex discrimination
I just wanted to update my resume. Instead, I accidentally proved how a multi-billion-dollar AI tool hallucinates a glass ceiling for women. I changed a single variable: My name. Here is what happened when "Jennifer" became "Jeff."

Day 11 of the One-Month #OpenSchoolDoor Campaign Invitation to the World: End the Nightmare of Afghan Women 💔🙏 @WDIAfghanistan1 and thousands of other voices shout this message every single day: “Dear World, For over 1,700 days, girls in Afghanistan have been banned from secondary school and university. Women are forbidden from working, traveling without a male guardian, visiting parks, doing sports, and even raising their voices in public. Child marriage (even for 9-year-olds) has been legalized, and beating women without breaking bones has been declared a “husband’s right.” This is Sex-Apartheid — a crime against humanity. If you remain silent, you become complicit in this nightmare. It’s time for real action. Please Wake up, world, before an entire generation of Afghan girls is silenced forever.” #OpenSchoolDoor @WDIAfghanistan1

The BBC reports children being sold in Afghanistan but does not ask the obvious questions: which children, and what happens to them? This is a sex-based crime so giving the sex of the victims is important. We have heard repeated reports of girls sold into marriage to old men. We have heard reports of disabled newborn girls buried alive while their male counterparts receive medicine. Afghan women and girls continue to endure appalling levels of cruelty and abandonment. It is difficult to see why the BBC seems to sympathise with the human-trafficking fathers.
Selling children to survive: Afghan fathers forced to make impossible choices bbc.in/49UQzLU
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
BBC has mislead audience by trying to create sympathy for fathers who sell daughters. Mothers’ voices are absent too . Selling very young daughter is an old Afghan tradition. Their new laws endorse that legally . independent.co.uk/world/child-ma…

A woman is someone who, in Afghanistan, has now lived 1,704 days under a ban that denies girls the right to go to school and human rights. Afghanistan is the only country in the world where education has been turned into a crime for teenage girls. And while this continues, organizations like UN Women are watching, and no action 💔 How long must this silence last? Please talk about Afghan women 🙏

Sex-based violence is not only physical. It is the ban on a girl’s education. It is economic strangulation. It is the slow, deliberate erasure of women from public life, carried out not with weapons alone, but with policy, silence, and the world’s willingness to look away.

It is insanely wrong to remove single sex toilets and then expect the girls to state *exactly* what they are doing in the cubicles to make the case for getting them back. Why does a male teacher feel its an appropriate question?
Generally bullying, vaping, avoiding class etc. in toilets is a reason to do something like this. Why is it an issue? What are they doing in their toilets that they need the privacy of two doors?

I have said this since my first tweets in 2015 (and of course in the ‘real world’ before & since!): We cannot possibly end sexism or male violence against women & girls if we pretend we believe in ‘gender identity’ and support ‘Self-ID’. It’s a no-brainer. Everyone knows, really

A male UK uni lecturer wears enormous prosthetic breasts, in clothing showing a lot of (plastic) cleavage, to work. This isn’t a hypothesis, it’s actual Is it: A. justifiable ‘identity expression’ B. abusive sexualisation of a power imbalanced context (against female students)

And this is Peter, the Green Party candidate who thinks that it's perfectly acceptable for a male University lecturer at Oxford to swan around in huge prosthetic breasts. Men like Peter trouble me greatly when it comes to their views on women...
In what possible sense is this person committing sexual harassment? By existing?

Day 1,677 of Afghan girls being barred from getting an education. This cannot go on. Restricting the basic human rights of an entire generation of women poses an existential threat for #Afghanistan. You are not forgotten. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn
