1. This was a very popular thread last week and we make no apologies for repeating it for those who may have missed it first time around.
Parliament returns today. We are waiting @trussliz ....

2. We were in the doldrums of August, and awaiting the well overdue announcement from Liz Truss, but don't imagine nothing was going on behind the scenes. The women of Women Uniting UK were still quietly, tenaciously, fighting to maintain the sex-based rights of women and girls,
3. and continuing to raise awareness of the gender ideology that is damaging our children, particularly our daughters.
More and more MPs are listening, more and more teachers are pushing back on unsuitable political and ideological lobby groups having access to children in

4. schools, more and more medics are speaking out about their concerns around the medicalisation of what are quite often normal childhood feelings, more and more women from all walks of life are speaking out, despite the threats to their jobs
5. and the physical threats they receive for believing that women are a sex class, not a feeling in someone's head.
There are numerous cases due in court: brave people putting their reputations, livelihood, and safety on the line.

13. Allison Bailey takes on Stonewall, @BluskyeAllison https://filia.org.uk/news/2020/6/27/allison-bailey-i-am-suing-stonewall-to-stop-them-policing-free-speech
14. The EHRC has been quietly removing incorrect and unlawful guidance after being challenged by many women's groups, but this is not good enough; they need to tell everyone their guidance was wrong and issue correct lawful guidance and last week, thanks to @AnnMSinnott
15. and the team at AEA, it has been announced that they will be taken to court if they do not do so: https://www.crowdjustice.com/case/action-against-unlawful-official-guidance/
16. Thanks to @fairplaywomen @FondOfBeetles @Scienceofsport and many sportswomen, the sporting bodies are beginning to listen to the science, rather than the 'feelings'.
"I do feel guilty, but what can you do?" https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/49298550

17. Thanks to @SafeSchools_UK and many concerned parents, schools and education authorities have been withdrawing guidance that breaches safeguarding and teaches girls they must have no boundaries. They backed down rather than go to court to defend it.
18. @Transgendertrd have forensically dissected some very questionable 'education' materials provided by lobby groups as well as getting the GEO to remove their endorsements from some of those materials. We have even seen the BBC remove links to charities who promote
19. questionable guidance around 'trans children', & the NHS has changed its stance on 'puberty blockers', admitting that little is known about their long-term side effects & their effects on a child's brain development, no longer promoting the lie that they are fully reversible.
20. Thanks to @jameskirkup for this article highlighting the changes: https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-nhs-has-quietly-changed-its-trans-guidance-to-reflect-reality
21. @ForwomenScot continue to be in the forefront, as the Scottish government still try and force Self ID through by stealth, including by changing the definition of 'woman' in the Gender Representation on Public Boards Act 2018, https://forwomen.scot/28/08/2020/news-release-judicial-review/
22. and introducing a so-called 'hate crime' law that threatens our very ability to even talk about these issues without being accused of a crime.
The women of Wales are getting organised too.

23. Our political women are working from within their parties, building consensus, letting people know what has been going on under the radar for so long, building support among party members. @Baroness_Nichol continues to build cross party awareness in the House of Lords and
24. asks questions of ministers (and writes a very pithy letter when necessary). Women are now are being heard by others, including @LordPhilofBrum , @LordLucasCD , Lord Moonie, (sadly missed from Twitter and an early supporter) and recently @ZacGoldsmith
25. We continue to highlight the work of @FiLiA_charity and @DeclarationOn who support women and girls worldwide.
Sadly, lesbians have been particularly badly affected by the framing of same sex attraction as 'bigotry', even being told to 'get over' their genital hang ups.

26. @ALLIANCELGB and https://lesbianalliance.org.uk are providing advocacy and support for for those who believe that sexuality is not an 'identity'. Alliances across the world are being formed, and we welcomed @LGBAlliance_USA just this week.
27. The police continue to pursue women for tweets, facebook posts, and even stickers, that state biological and legal facts, but the general public are not supportive of their behaviour and the police are losing public trust; the regulatory capture of the police, the judiciary,
28. and the CPS is now openly being questioned (see SafeSchools case, and Harry Miller's case, in the crowdfunders above).
Sunlight truly is the best disinfectant.
To those who oppose us, know this; we will NEVER give up.

29. We have fought hard and long for our legal rights, we WILL have them protected, and we WILL fight to our last breath to protect children from this dangerous ideology. Do not underestimate us, we will be here, quietly working in the background.
30. We will prevail, and for any avoidance of doubt, every one of us is willing to say
