The FWS case defined a word in one British statute. It did not, and could not, create a human right to exclude trans people. FWS will fail under ECHR.
This is precisely why Amnesty International labeled GC orgs as anti rights. They seek to exclude rather than protect from discrimination.

We survived the week!!!
Highlights:
- no VERA/VSIP yet.
- the FWS is amending competitive areas for a RIF but it’s not clear how.
- FWS was mentioned 2x in the President’s speech to Congress. He announced a name change to a refuge live (I have learned that was a surprise to the refuge involved).

The FWS ruling & the English government's meddling in Scottish law over trans folk being able to change birth cert, the pausing of trans healthcare in Wales and the UK SC ruling's incompatibility with NI law proves trans folk will eventually unite Ireland and lead to Scots/Welsh independence.
Months of work on FWS & the problem of making it fit with NI law alongside @sylviademars.me and @aoifemod.bsky.social is finally ready to see daylight. Short answer, it doesn't fit. Yes, the situation is so serious that it warranted the Mean Girls quote in the title.

Democrats are inviting laid-off federal workers to attend President Trump's speech to Congress tonight.
Baltimore resident Katie Stahl is one of them. She'll be a guest of Rep. Johnny Olszewski Jr. (D-MD). Here's her story.

Expect VERA/VSIP soon. I expect the “workforce plan” will occur at the same time or immediately follow. We (FWS) submitted our agency plan last week.
There will likely be short timeframes for decisions. Do your research. Reach out via DM if you need me to post anything.

The GCs on twitter are very confused by this. It's fairly simple – given FWS only decided whether EA sex means 'biological' or 'certificated' sex, it did not change the legal position for under 18s. Regardless of how FWS was decided the position for trans girl guides would be the same.
The Supreme Court only ruled on whether people with a GRC count as women under the Equality Act.
You have to be 18 to get a GRC.
But the Guides say they’re kicking out trans girls – under 18s – as a result. It doesn’t track. So why are they doing it?

Girl Guiding and the Women’s Institute have announced that they will now exclude trans women and girls after legal threats – but organisations can and should remain inclusive.
