It's complicated...
I own a successful consultancy business. I've just had a long talk with my CEO about the position we will take on Trans, not internally, but with clients, as our work will bring is squarely into this arena. So something like a law firm (we're not) who will have to decide if they will take a case on a trans harassment allegation.
CEO (white man, decent bloke, extremely able at his job) has pushed back today more or less saying, what's the problem , as self-declaration of gender is not allowed in the UK, the Government's position is anti-self-ID and that currently a Trans Women or Tman would have to have gone through the full GRA process including a change of birth certificate (but not necessarily surgical gender re-assignment) before being recognised as a woman / man under the Equalities Act and that false declaration can result in a prison sentence. Also that it is lawful to exclude transgender people from single-sex services in some cases if this is “a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim”.
I'm at a loss. Is what he says is true? It doesn't feel like it matches what I've been reading about transwomen going to women's prisons, for eg?
Please please help. I am raging at the emotional trans agenda stuff but appear to not have a coherent logical factual argument with which to persuade CEO
