Gendered Intelligence: as in authors of this highly tendentious advice about Equality Act
"Under no circumstances should an organisation treat the exceptions as something it should do. An exception is a last resort". https://genderedintelligence.wordpress.com/2018/06/25/what-are-the-single-sex-exceptions-in-the-equality-act/">https://genderedintelligence.wordpress.com/2018/06/2...

Gendered Intelligence, whose own signage you can download, print off, laminate and stick on toilet doors when you want to demonstrate a "higher standard of inclusivity" - saying "ALL GENDER TOILET - CONTAINS ALL STALLS" http://genderedintelligence.co.uk/professionals/resources/toilets">https://genderedintelligence.co.uk/professio...
Gendered Intelligence: as in the organisation who published this blogpost about a week ago:
"We need to do away with the false dichotomy of ‘reversible’ and ‘irreversible’ when talking about young trans people and decision making." https://genderedintelligence.wordpress.com/category/trans-youth/">https://genderedintelligence.wordpress.com/category/...

Representative sample:
"I asked about the source of the statistic for “1 in 100” people being born intersex.

Gendered Intelligence: sponsors of this @Tate resource for teachers "I want to show you a body". Representative - demonstrably false - quote:

Gendered Intelligence: authors of the "Trans Youth Sexual Health" booklet, containing memorable phrase
"A woman is still a woman, even if she enjoys getting blow
jobs." http://cdn0.genderedintelligence.co.uk/2012/11/17/17-14-04-GI-sexual-health-booklet.pdf">https://cdn0.genderedintelligence.co.uk/2012/11/1...

Gendered Intelligence, hosts of this twice-monthly trans swimming event for age groups 8-25:
"Wear what you want to swim, so long as your bottom half is covered."

In short: you could not get a more blatantly politicised, fact-negligent, safeguarding-careless trans activist organisation than Gendered Intelligence.
Calling what they offer "trans awareness training" is to stretch concepts of "awareness" (and "training") to breaking point.

Just wondering whether @UniversitiesUK are also going to invite @Womans_Place_UK or @ALLIANCELGB or @Transgendertrd or @marcusevanspsyc in to hear some alternative perspectives on the Equality Act, sexual orientation, child safeguarding, or irreversible surgery on young people?
I"m sure they& #39;d do it for free, too.
