- This will destroy lives. Simple as that. Imagine planning around the certainty that in X months/years, you would be able to obtain indefinite leave to remain. And now instead you've got to add 5 more years - 5 very expensive extra years - before that can happen. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
- Just despicable. It was 18 months and zero fees to get indefinite leave to remain in the early 90s. If I knew then what a hellhole the UK would become, I'd probably have picked somewhere else. :(
- This!
- Heads up, any CIPD members. Please do get involved. @kd-smith.bsky.social @heatherreally.bsky.social www.cipd.org/uk/about/new...

View full threadCIPD issued guidance to members within 48 hours of the SC ruling, days before even the EHRC put their "update" out! They advised immediate segregation of trans staff! Also claimed cis women staff had "sex based rights." 🤬 Usual "respect and dignity" guff, too. CIPD = fully captured by bigots...
- ...But definitely, all members need to push back in the "consultation." Also, all staff who can should proactively contact the HR lead or their boss, sending links to GLP, other sources against proposed segregation. EHRC and all the trans hostile lobbyists, will be pushing employers to back then.
- NEW ESSAY about Helen Lewis debating AI hallucinations of my work & Victoria Smith inventing vile lies about me. Why? Because that's what "gender critical" activists do: on Substack (no paywall) juliaserano.substack.com/p/why-do-hel... & Medium (friend link) juliaserano.medium.com/why-do-helen...
- oh my god lmao
- Knowing Lewis' track record, this does not surprise me in the least.
