I like Lloyd, but this article is a mess. Here's a long and detailed thread explaining why, mostly in pictures. Really happy to meet in person to discuss it, @lloyd_rm. /1 https://twitter.com/lloyd_rm/status/1275371330255405057
First two paragraphs were so full of inaccuracies I had to annotate them twice. Sunday Times article is here if you want to check what's actually been reported: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/boris-johnson-scraps-plan-to-make-gender-change-easier-zs6lqfls0 /2

Lloyd repeatedly describes opponents of GRA reform as 'social conservatives' but all the actors he identifies are left wing feminists, apart from @DavidTCDavies. Women have forced this issue onto the agenda against formidable institutional resistance. We are nobody's puppets. /5

Bit of a sting in the tail here. Lloyd picks and chooses which bits of the Labour manifesto he wants to stick to. Rather than ensuring that the single-sex exemptions in the Equality Act are fully understood, he wants to get rid of them altogether (except for 'medical reasons') /7

I'm not a social conservative. Here's what I said in the GRA consultation: https://lesbianlost.home.blog/gra-consultation-questions/. Here's what I said last September in Brighton (against the noise of an intimidating mob outside): https://rebelyarn.wordpress.com/2019/09/26/i-am-not-your-enemy-lets-talk/. Let's talk. /8
