My blood pressure is sky high watching this.

They are covering the end of the consultation process with a panel of entirely transgender people: Fae, IW, and a trans man. There was a weak film with a "rad fem" and a transwoman.

There's no recognition of the importance of biological difference at all. No recognition that the proposed legislation means females would not be able to guarantee a female hcp or a female single-sex ward.

Make a complaint. They will respond by email and it can be escalated to a higher level and eventually to ofcom if their response is rubbish (it will be). I am going to start doing this with my complaints.

There's also no recognition that the new process is meaningless in terms of policing single sex spaces (or even single gender spaces) if it is discriminatory to request legal documentation proving legal sex/gender before entry.
