some men in London | 22.09.26

the two-volume anthology brilliantly edited by Peter Parker which was the Times and Sunday Times History Book of the Year in 2024. volume 1 (1945-59) was compelling reading. I’m on volume 2 (1960-67) now

Who gets questioned in single-sex spaces?

Social policing may affect not only trans people, but anyone perceived as not “looking” like they belong.

Who is most at risk of this scrutiny? Share your thoughts below.

Really glad to have joined the board of the Good Night Out Campaign 💜

I am helping particularly on the legal side of the work, supporting the team as they continue pushing for safer, more inclusive nightlife.

“An example does not make the average.”

It’s a simple point, but one that’s repeatedly forgotten in discussions about trans people.

Really enjoyed unpacking this (and a lot more) with @www.helenwebberley.com Full podcast is now on YouTube.

A quiet but important line of reasoning has emerged from recent Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) decisions concerning the maximum compensation available under the Employment Equality Act to employees who resign before lodging a complaint. bit.ly/4gyvAD0

Really excited to be hosting and presenting a Long Table at the TVCE x BiGS Symposium at Birkbeck on 24 July.

We’ll be exploring:
How do we move from survival within binary legal systems towards genuine intersex and non-binary recognition?

Europe just said trans women must be recognised within gender equality protections. At the same time, UK law is moving in a different direction.

Follow for clear explanations of what the law actually says. ⚖️

Almost everyone is getting this judgment wrong.
The law treats workplaces and public venues differently.
Which means a trans person could have to use one toilet while working — and another when they clock off.
Make it make sense. ⚖️

We’re debating “trans rights” like trans people are one thing.

They’re not.

The Hampstead Heath ponds remain trans-inclusive! Yay 🥳 Well done @goodlawproject.org and team.

The law backed consultation, not exclusion. The challenge was brought too early and by a group with no standing.

Thoughts?

“If gender is a construct, why does it matter?”

Something being constructed does not mean it is not real.
It means humans built it and humans can change it.

“Trans people are ruining sports, right?”
No. That is fear, not facts.

There is no evidence that trans inclusion destroys sport. That is why rules are sport specific, not blanket bans.

2/2 Inspired in part by @jenhendry.bsky.social, @n-creutzfeldt.bsky.social and @cmboulanger.bsky.social’s more detailed piece on the Journal of Law & Society’s 50th, the snapshots look at contributors and content such as the below

#IJDL30
Figure 1. IJDL sole authorship and co-authorship over three periods. Sole-authored publications have fallen from nearly nine-out-of-ten in the first 33 issues to a little over two-thirds in the most recent 34 issues. Co-authorship almost tripled between the first 33 issues and the second 33 before falling back a little in the third tranche as multiple authorship increased (with papers authored by three people almost doubling while papers authored by a greater number, while still marking up a small proportion, increased nearly 10-fold from just over 0.6% to around 6%). Figure 5. Frequency of characteristics appearing in the abstracts of the IJDL 1995-2025. From this it can be inferred that there is a wide coverage but disability, sex and race are the most covered topics over the years, with disability sustaining a marked increase from 1995 to 2005 in the following two decades. While race looks to have fallen back each decade, if the ethnic and national origins phrasings are included the decline is less marked. A greater focus on religion and belief, as protection evolved, and in abstracts mentioning pregnant women/pregnancy is also marked.
