Seriously, is nobody concerned that the head of the EHRC is a creationist?
It's the 21st Century - how can you be in charge of a non-governmental body and believe that human bodies were 'designed', for sex or anything else?!?

I'm not a fan of #football but I've been watching the proceedings from this #parliamentary #Women and #Equalities Committee meeting on #BBCNews. Shaista Aziz is a brilliant speaker. I hope those in positions of power at all levels within football really hear what she says. Football (and everything else in the world) should be for everyone, not just straight white males.

With the #Qatar World Cup underway, as a proud citizen of Wales I am torn between the euphoria of #Wales appearing in the #World Cup for the first time in my life, and the very disturbing #HumanRights and #Equalities questions that dare not be overlooked. Ultimately, these matters trump football in their importance & football should not be played in these conditions where #FIFA, the governing world body, seems so unaware & so uncaring about of the daily realities of the lives of so many people.

I haven't done my #introduction post yet!
I live in NE #Scotland, I'm an #equalities consultant and was the #SNP National Equalities Convener for a few years. I specialise in #disability justice, #feminism, #antifascism.
I'm also a #SpokenWord #poet, writing about being #disabled, #cats, #science, #activism, #trauma, #politics, still foolish enough to believe words can change the world.
Interests: almost everything. Particularly #physics, #history, #books, #poetry, #ScottishIndependance.
