Timothy Gaston has welcomed a landmark judgment from Scotland’s highest civil court which ruled that prison accommodation must be segregated according to biological sex. On Friday, Lady Ross in the Court of Session held that the Scottish Prison Service guidance allowing transgender prisoners to be accommodated in prisons of the opposite biological sex was unlawful… Continue reading Gaston…

Since the Supreme Court handed down its judgment in For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers, much of the public discussion has focused on a single conclusion: the Court held that the terms “sex”, “man” and “woman” in the Equality Act 2010 refer to ‘biological sex’ rather than ‘certificated sex’. For many campaigners, that was where […]

Statement by TUV equality spokeswoman Ann McClure: “I welcome the decision by the Women’s Rights Network Northern Ireland to take this legal challenge. “The Supreme Court has already provided clarity on the meaning of sex in law.

In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you through these documents and makes it abundantly clear that the Communist Manifesto Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote in 1848 had these ideas at their core.

For years now, we’ve had the persistent feeling that the EHRC is simply not listening to trans people or trans organisations. That’s part of why we referred them to GANHRI, whose accreditation report we are expecting any day now. Meanwhile, we have unearthed clear evidence that the EHRC has refused to listen even to its […]

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to render the Voting Rights Act obsolete.
Louisiana v. Callais was first brought to the court in 2025 by a group of white voters, who argued that a congressional map drawn to create a Black-majority district in Louisiana was unconstitutional. The conservative judges ruled that while Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act outlaws race-based…
That sentence should not be controversial. It is just describing people as they actually exist. Sex is not binary. Some women have penises. Some men have vaginas. And non-binary people may have either, both, or none. Not as a metaphor, not as a thought experiment, not as some fringe anomaly you can handwave away. It […]

There's a third night out on the cards.
The last millennium was shaped by a steady movement from tradition, including reverence for nature, to a human-centered world of individuals acting out their desires. Religion aided in this by replacing national cultures with a universal internationalist morality. This world ended with the twenty-first century when it became clear that diversity did 9/11 and we […]
'Why treat "all men" like this?'
A new campaign from Sex Matters claims that, after For Women Scotland Ltd v Scottish Ministers, the law is “clear” and organisations must base single-sex services solely on “biological sex”. That is not an accurate statement of the law. The High Court in Good Law Project Ltd v Equality and Human Rights Commission confirmed that […]

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) says it is working to rebuild trust and engage widely with civil society. The material disclosed through this FOI request presents a more uneven picture of how that engagement is being carried out in practice.

We’ve submitted a formal complaint to the EHRC asking them to investigate Sex Matters for sustained conduct that appears to amount to harassment and discrimination against trans people. This is about their repeated messaging that frames a protected group as inherently deviant, predatory, or dangerous, while persistently denying their identity. Sex Matters has an unjustifiable […]

Statement by TUV equality spokeswoman Ann McClure: “The decision to strengthen protection for the female category in Olympic sport is most welcome, but it should also serve as a wake-up call to local politicians. “TUV has exposed the fact that money from the Executive’s flagship scheme to end violence against women and girls has gone… Continue reading Decision to protect female sport welcome —…
Co-authored by Mise Rather than working to “rebuild trust”, the new EHRC Chair ignores the trans community and jumps straight into bed with anti-trans campaigners to discuss “mutual priorities”. On November 30th 2025, Baroness Kishwer Falkner’s four-year term as EHRC Chair came to an end. The following day, the new Chair, Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson, took […]

The phrase “biological sex” gets thrown around like it’s a single, fixed truth, and weaponised in the media, legislation, policies, and the courts, as a form of ‘clarity’. But that’s not how biology works. Sex isn’t one trait; it’s a bundle of them. We often assume that everyone is born male or female, with no […]

A claim has been circulating in parts of the Gender Critical Ideological Movement (GCIM) that the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require the main door to a toilet or changing room to be lockable for facilities to count as separate. Under that interpretation, a standard toilet cubicle would not qualify as a “separate […]

I had a kid come up to me at work yesterday. About twelve. You know that age where curiosity is loud and social boundaries are still… under construction. He asks if he can ask me something. Fair enough. “Are you transgender?” Yeah. I am. “Do you identify as he or she?” I tell him I’m […]

On the 19th of March 2013, school teacher Lucy Meadows took her own life after being hounded in the British press. 13 years later and British society has learned nothing.

If you follow UK policy debates around gender, the Gender Critical Ideological Movement turns up again and again. Groups within the movement write long legal letters to public bodies. They challenge official guidance. They push departments to change how they interpret the law. And when those departments do not agree, the next step is often […]

The Trans Advocacy & Complaints Collective (TACC) has written to the UK press regulator, the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), raising serious concerns about how complaints relating to transgender people are being handled. The letter highlights a pattern in which complaints about discriminatory coverage are rejected at the initial stage, often through narrow interpretations of…
The level of media attention on trans issues over the last year has been relentless. Our monitoring shows over 6,450 online articles published in 2025 alone. There was a clear spike around the UK Supreme Court judgment on 16 April 2025 — at least 717 items in April and 463 in May — and the […]
