I think this is a useful resource:

if you are on twitter - @legalfeminist

If you’re not on twitter - www.legalfeminist.org.uk

It’s an account run by a collective of practising lawyers - barristers and solicitors - to provide feminist commentary on UK law.

Thanks OP. A useful resource.

The Cancel Culture blog really useful. Suggest everyone sends to their employers as very practical and might avoid very adverse knee jerk reaction to GC post on social media

Excellent resource and sadly much needed these days.

I love that blog. It's so lucid, and thoughtful, and blessedly sane.

"If a person is somewhere on that path, it doesn’t matter whether they’ve got a GRC or not: they’re entitled anyway not to suffer discrimination on grounds of gender reassignment."

"that doesn’t mean that trans women are entitled to be treated for all purposes as if they were biological women"

"In short, the Equality Act does recognise that although sex is usually a bad and arbitrary reason for treating people differently, there are contexts in which biological sex matters."

I want to C&P the whole article!.
Very lucid.
I love a bit of logic.

ThinEndoftheWedge · 17/07/2020 15:57

Key take home for me:

TW can be excluded in the single sex exemptions (inc GRC) because their protected characteristic is gender reassignment and not sex.

Hence the need for TWAW in All circumstances.

Very helpful, thank you ThinEnd.

And, apparently, commented upon by BNoW (though, as always, on the internet nobody knows you're a dog etc).
