Found it. Found these women-hating fuckers. Home page:

Formerly known as the Women, Influence & Power in Law UK Awards, the newly reimagined Leadership, Influence & Inclusivity in Law Awards reflect the evolving legal landscape—where values-led leadership, collective impact, and cultural transformation are more important than ever.

And where women are not. It was an award for women, and now it’s not, because it reflects the evolving legal landscape where women just aren’t worth mentioning, let alone giving awards.

These awards honour individuals and teams across the legal profession who are driving meaningful change—whether through visionary leadership, inclusive culture-building, groundbreaking client work, or community-focused initiatives.

We continue to celebrate the legacy of women who have shaped the profession,

I see. Paying attention to women is not incloosive; ignoring and disappearing women is incloosive. If you want to be a good incloosive justicey person you will immediately stop talking about women. If you are a woman you will of course shut up entirely.

Dear Sarah,

We are proud to announce the launch of the Leadership, Influence & Inclusivity in Law Awards a dynamic evolution of what was formerly the Women, Influence & Power in Law UK Awards.

This year, the awards take on a broader and more inclusive scope, recognising the outstanding contributions of individuals who are shaping the future of the legal profession—whether through innovative leadership, impactful influence, or meaningful advancement of inclusion within the field.

Why

Hmm. So can Trump murder someone as long as it’s on his own “personal time”?

President Trump is refusing to release the guest list of his pay-to-pay crypto dinner, as his press secretary Karoline Leavitt argues that the dinner is in his “personal time.”

“On the president’s dinner tonight, will the White House commit to making the list of the attendees public so people can see who’s paying for that kind of access to the president?” a reporter asked Leavitt at the White House press briefing on Thursday.

“Well as you know, Garret, this question has been raised with the president. I have also addressed the dinner tonight; the president is attending it in his personal time, it

Trump hates Harvard.

Gee I wonder why.

If he were a more Harvard kind of guy he would realize what he looks like, picking fights with the top of the heap university that did not beg him to become one of its graduates. Jealous much, Queens boy?

Attacks by President Trump and his lackeys against the country’s oldest university have been relentless, and come from all corners of the administration.

They include multiple bogus investigations, including one from the Justice Department into whether Harvard has been lying to the government about its admissions policy; billions in federal research funding cuts and freezes at the school and its partners for various reasons, from the school’s purported failure to stem antisemitism on

Jill Foster at the Telegraph on Labour v women:

Last month, when the Supreme Court ruling clarified that sex in law meant “biological sex”, some naively assumed that it might finally put to rest this thorniest of issues in Labour’s side. But it seems that if anything, tensions have been ramped up rather than tempered.

This week, the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) voted that women officer roles and all-women shortlists would be limited to biological women. It was a remarkable volte face from its 2018 decision that “self-identifying” trans women (biological men who could simply declare themselves women without any surgery or medical treatment) were eligible for Labour’s all-women shortlists and other roles.

Steven Pinker on Trump v Harvard:

In my 22 years as a Harvard professor, I have not been afraid to bite the hand that feeds me. My 2014 essay “The Trouble With Harvard” called for a transparent, meritocratic admissions policy to replace the current “eye-of-newt-wing-of-bat mysticism” which “conceals unknown mischief.” My 2023 “five-point plan to save Harvard from itself” urged the university to commit itself to free speech, institutional neutrality, nonviolence, viewpoint diversity and disempowering D.E.I. Last fall, on the anniversary of Oct. 7, 2023, I explained “how I wish Harvard taught students to talk about Israel,” calling on the university to teach our students to grapple with moral and historical complexity.

Half a century ago Harvard failed to invite the young Donald Trump to partake of its services, therefore Harvard has to go.

Harvard University sued the Trump administration on Friday, less than 24 hours after the Department of Homeland Security said it would block international students from attending the nation’s oldest university and one of its most prestigious.

Later Friday morning, at the university’s request, a federal judge in Boston moved swiftly to block implementation of the federal government’s order.

The judge, Allison D. Burroughs issued a temporary restraining order against the federal edict, agreeing that Harvard had shown that its implementation would cause “immediate and irreparable injury” to the university.

Well duh. That’s why Trump is doing it.… Read the rest

Originally a comment by maddog on What makes them experts?

“The judgment does not remove the legal protections trans people currently enjoy under the Equality Act,” the experts said. “But it may be used to justify exclusionary policies that further stigmatise and marginalise an already vulnerable population, as well as human rights defenders working to protect and promote transgender rights.

So much to unpack here!

The judgment “may be used to justify exclusionary policies . . . .”

What do you mean by ”exclusionary”? Who gets to say what policies are ”exclusionary”? You imply a universal pejorative to the word ”exclusionary,” as if ”exclusion” is always bad. Is that really true? I mean, if you classify or categorize anything, you … Read the rest

Trump is a stinking liar chapter eleventy billion.

JOHANNESBURG, May 22 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump showed a screenshot of Reuters video taken in the Democratic Republic of Congo as part of what he falsely presented on Wednesday as evidence of mass killings of white South Africans.

“These are all white farmers that are being buried,” said Trump, holding up a print-out of an article accompanied by the picture during a contentious Oval Office meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa.

In fact, the video, published by Reuters on February 3 and subsequently verified by the news agency’s fact check team, showed humanitarian workers lifting body bags in the Congolese city of Goma. The image was pulled from Reuters

UN press release on the who gets to be a woman question:

A group of independent human rights experts* today expressed concern about the implications of the recent UK Supreme Court judgment interpreting the definition of “woman” under the Equality Act 2010.

While the ruling was limited to a question of statutory interpretation, the experts warned that it risks entrenching legal uncertainty and undermining the rights of transgender persons in all aspects of life, including education.

But what about the way the bogus “definition of woman” to include men risks undermining the rights of female persons in all aspects of life, including education?

Why does sweaty concern for the purported rights of trans people (“rights” such as being endorsed as … Read the rest

Sex offender jailed for contacting young girls

Tell us more, Beeb.

A registered sex offender who breached a prevention order by sending sexually explicit messages to schoolgirls has been jailed for four years and eight months. Katie Birtles was arrested on 16 January after trying to meet a 14-year-old girl at the railway station in Grantham, Lincolnshire.

Birtles, of Wroxall Drive, Grantham, breached a 10-year sexual harm prevention order (SHPO), preventing any contact with children, which was put in place in 2017 for previous offences. Lincolnshire Police said messages on Birtles’ phone over a two-week period in January found the offender was planning to meet victims for sex and had offered to buy gifts such as wine and

Trump to CDC: shut up.

To accomplish its mission of increasing the health security of the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that it “conducts critical science and provides health information” to protect the nation. But since President Trump’s administration assumed power in January, many of the platforms the CDC used to communicate with the public have gone silent, an NPR analysis found.

Many of the CDC’s newsletters have stopped being distributed, workers at the CDC say. Health alerts about disease outbreaks, previously sent to health professionals subscribed to the CDC’s Health Alert Network, haven’t been dispatched since March. The agency’s main social media channels have come under new ownership of the Department of Health

Sonia Sodha on the obstinate refusal to accept that men are not women:

A few weeks on, it’s becoming clear that despite the exceptional clarity of a judgment handed down by the highest court in the land, implementing it is a different matter. The rule of law, it seems, depends on most people choosing to follow it.

Some organisations, like Britain’s biggest union, are brazenly flouting it. Unison is allowing a male member who identifies as female to stand for election for its national council positions reserved for women. Last year its president accused a group of nurses from Darlington of “anti-trans bigotry” for standing up for their right to female-only changing rooms at work.

So what kind … Read the rest

So Labour is canceling women. That will make everything better.

The Labour Party has postponed its annual Women’s Conference in the wake of advice following last month’s ruling on the legal definition of a woman.

You bitches don’t want men taking everything that belongs to you? Fine!! We’ll just cancel your damn conference then, so ha!

Last month, the Supreme Court ruled that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex. Up until the ruling, Labour had allowed people [men] to self-identify as a woman, so trans women could attend the event and also take part in “positive action” measures such as all-women shortlists.

That is, Labour had allowed men to ruin everything for women and

The Quakers are just as brain-dead as everyone else on this subject.

As a faith group, Quakers in Britain have a clear position statement, recorded in Minute 31 of Britain Yearly Meeting 2021. We wish to welcome and affirm trans and non-binary people in our communities. We have underlined this position in recent years through acts of witness, advocacy and solidarity. The Supreme Court judgment in For Women Scotland v. The Scottish Ministers [2025] has affected the interpretation of some parts of the Equality Act 2010. No provision in respect of protection from discrimination for trans people has been affected, nor has the Gender Recognition Act 2004. Following the ruling, the Equality & Human Rights Commission has issued interim non-statutory

Originally a comment by maddog on Some memberz of the communniny.

While the full implications of the ruling are not yet clear, some members of the trans community feel threatened by it.

BBC, how can you even say that? Of course the implications are clear! Did you even read the opinion? Where the Act says “sex” or “women” or “men,” it means biological sex. What could they have said to make it any more clear?

The Supreme Court also held that discrimination against someone because of their gender identity is also prohibited, but the acts proscribed have to be actually attributable to the person’s transgender status. The two might overlap when a transgender person is actually perceived as the … Read the rest

Will Darlington Memorial Hospital ever just do what it’s told? It seems not.

Further pressure has been placed on Darlington Memorial Hospital to “comply” with same sex policies as nurses remain locked in a legal battle over a transgender woman using their changing room.

County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation trust, alongside others across the country will be made to comply with a Supreme Court ruling moved forward last month that defines gender as “biological”.

When? And why won’t they just do it, without waiting to be “made” to do it?

Meanwhile in South-Eastern Norway, where the bulk of the population lives, 2021 still stands as the last somewhat “normal” year so far. In what we used to think of as a “normal” year the water flow in our rivers would increase something like five-fold, and the levels in our reservoirs (i.e. lakes) would rise several meters above the “highest regulated water level” around the second half of May due to snowmelt in the mountains. This “spring flood” was considered so reliable that hydropower companies would lower their reservoirs towards the “lowest regulated water level” during the winter season (when the demand for power was high and prices were good), … Read the rest
