I’m lifelong disabled, in my 30s. I grew up in an era when men weren’t allowed to do personal care for women. Even now I know that legally I can request only female carers. That’s covered by the Equality Act.
But everything I’m reading about trans rights seems to suggest that whilst I still have that right, a trans woman would be allowed to come into my home and do intimate tasks (tasks which the govt say you’re automatically considered vulnerable if you need it, regardless of circumstances). And I’d be discriminating if I tried to enforce the EA legislation?
