We hope this new guide will inspire #localgov to bring an #intersectional lens to policy-making and service provision in their communities!

In PHSE today my 10yo daughter was told that some girls ‘like to wear boy clothes and some boys like to wear girl clothes’. Apparently all the kids were silent and my kid put her hand up and said: ‘What are boy clothes and girl clothes?’ OMG she is better than me at this. 💜🤍💚

Big cheer from striking ⁦@TheCriminalBar⁩ barristers protesting outside Old Bailey when ⁦@RMTunion⁩ arrive in support and rallying cry ‘up the workers’. One barrister peaks out from inside the court to see what all the noise is.

Ryka used to make womens shoes based on womens feet in the 80’s. Kudos to Allyson for this, well done!!!
Making women’s shoes using a mold of a woman’s foot - what a novel idea! And it was until @AllysonFelix did this, for her and women everywhere. I talked to the most decorated US track & field athlete of all time on #InFact about this and more: link.chtbl.com/InFactAllyson…

No one is banned (emotive &wrong) from sport only from a classification their biology (the actual body they have not the one they would like). The same way a 15yr old is banned from the under 10s. They race in the one provided for other 15yr year olds. Sport is trained biology

One piece of advice: LISTEN TO WOMEN! If you had, you would already know all the stuff your statement lists as needing to be done. It’ll save you a lot of work.
Today we're calling for a coalition to address transgender and non-binary participation in elite sport, and can provide an update on this weekend's British National Omnium Championships. Read more: bit.ly/3NsOFWh

It’s not transphobic to want fair sport, it’s anti female to not!
