This in the Telegraph
www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/04/08/equality-chief-trans-activists-will-not-sway-rules-women-only/
There must be an accompanying opinion piece which I'm trying to locate. But bits from the above are:
"In her first comments to a newspaper since publishing guidance stating that trans women can lawfully be excludedd from female-only spaces, Baroness Falkner of Margravinee said that her organisation had a duty to uphold the law independent of “campaign groups or vested interests”.
The chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) said that it had published a clarification of the law this week as there needs to be a “balance””_ between “competing” rights.
“The law is clear that organisations can sometimes limit access to their services to one sex,” Lady Falknerr_ said.
The EHRC has been threatened with legal action since its advice was published on Tuesday, and bosses within the NHS and other organisations have vowed to ignore the guidance."
And:
"Lady Falkner, writing in The Telegraph, said: “We do not make the law, but it is our regulatory function to uphold it, independent of government, campaign groups or vested interests.”"
