We are excited to be launching the website tomorrow - Friday from 9am at www.sex-matters.org . We are on Facebook and Twitter too.
Sex Matters is a new not-for-profit organisation. We have a singular mission: to reestablish that sex matters in rules, laws, policies, language and culture.
We will campaign, advocate and produce resources to promote clarity about sex in public policy, law and culture.
We engage with politicians, officials, employers and professional organisations. We will work with and amplify others in the emerging movement of organisations working for a reality-based discussion about sex. We aim to build the campaign into new constituencies, professions and sectors, and to help people speak up and act with confidence.
Our priorities are: Establish clarity regarding single sex services and spaces Enable more people to speak up Enable debate to happen within organisations
Our founders:
Rebecca Bull, Naomi Cunningham, Maya Forstater and Emma Hilton

It used to be that in principle I woudn't necessarily object to men playing women's parts, if they auditioned and were actually good for the part. I can remember seeing a fantastic male Lady Bracknell back in the day. But now, like with any other male gender nonconformity, because of genderwoo I wouldn't be OK with it, even if he actually was good for the part - because he'd be making us lie, and because he'd have taken a part from a woman.
Because that could be the only thing possibly in the way of him getting one of the leads in his school musical.
Lmfao, imagine walking into a job interview and just saying "can I have the job? I really want it." These people are so entitled.
