1-The case hinges on whether “sex” in the Equality Act refers to biological sex or legal sex established by a GRC. A ruling will not change the legislation itself but will provide clarity on how these laws interact and are interpreted. #WeKnowWhatAWomanIs todaysfamilylawyer.co.uk/supreme-cour...

Sign our open letter in support of @sarahsurviving.bsky.social A victim-survivor she is asking Brighton' #RapeCrisis service to provide single-sex support services. Women in Brighton are self-excluding from life-saving service. This has to change. brightonsisters.wordpress.com/we-stand-wit...

Women victim-survivors from all walks of life, tell us again & again that single-sex provision of services (generic services & specialist domestic abuse/rape crisis) are vital. brightonsisters.wordpress.com/we-stand-wit...

On Tuesday, the UK Supreme Court will consider the definition of a woman. My preview of this groundbreaking case in the Scotsman www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

I talked to ⁦‪‬The Media Show about our ⁦‪Channel 4 News‬⁩ investigation into the Smyth ⁦‪Church‬⁩ abuse scandal. It meant so much to hear Smyth survivor ⁦‪Mark Stibbe‬⁩ praise our journalism. That’s what it’s all about.
