#PoliceScotland's new policy as reported here is illegal, because it takes no account of a #GenderRecognitionCertificate ( #GRC).

The atrocious #UKSC decision in #FWS allows a GRC to be disregarded for purposes of the #EA2010. But it doesn't override a GRC for other purposes.

#GRA2004 §22 still applies: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/7/section/22

Disclosing info relating to a GRC is a criminal offence. The police focus on "BiologicalSex" risks routine illegal disclosure. I hope #trans are ready to sue

90 Human Rights and Sports Groups Call for Olympics to Drop “Sex Testing” Plans

New instance, so a new #intro post. I' don't really know what to say so I'll extend my bio a bit.
I'm a disabled lesbian trans woman from the north-west of England. I'm totally blind and have cerebral palsy. I possibly neurodivergent in some form or other as well but haven't been diagnosed.
I've been happily married for nearly 7 years at the time of writing. My wife doesn't do much on social media so I usually don't mention her name in public posts.
of my interests include:
Music, both playing and listening. I play keyboards, drums and bass. I love synthesisers and learning how to program my own patches on the ones that are accessible to me. I have a fairly eclectic music taste and favourite genres include pop, soul, R&B, rock, electronic music and others. It's probably easier to say what I don't like.
reading. mainly fantacy and sci-fi but I'll give most things a go if the blurb grabs me.
Technology interests me, but mainly as an end user rather than messing about with servers and stuff like that, although I have done a bit of coding. One tech thing I am fascinated by though is speech synthesisers.
Accessibility is of course important to me, and I've been known to go on rants about that. I'm a full-time screen reader user. NVDA on windows and VoiceOver on iOS.
I've done a fair bit of Wikipedia editing in the past, but not much these days.
I think that'll do for now, but feel free to ask me things. I don't bight, much.
Here's some hashtags.

hey friends, did you know I'm a musician in addition to being a depressed person about the internet?? 😂

I'm a #queer #trans #disabled singer-songwriter who has been making original #music since I stole my oldest brother's guitar when I was 16. I make little videos of me performing my songs, and I've started using #lennySings to help collect my music (and to provide something followable for folks who want the music content but are less here for the depression 😂 😅 )

Come check me out on YouTube! This is a song I'm particularly proud of 😊 https://youtu.be/yNQVb70EHtg

and thank you, so much, for listening 🖤 it truly does make my day when people have kind words about my art. so thank you so much for that 🖤
