Handy to have if you are ever in the position of being either denied the right to female only space/service/safe & fair competition in sport or being told by anyone that even asking for this is evidence of any sort of "prejudice".

Thanks. Have saved this for if (I mean when) I am given cause to use this.

This letter was written in response to the misrepresentations in the TIE letter earlier this month. It was sent to the papers (Herald & National) who printed that letter and ran stories off the back of it. We believe it is in the public interest to correct the false narrative. Unfortunately, despite several approaches, the papers failed to print it.

I'd like to copy the contents of the letter and just keep repeating it ad naseum.

This is a great letter, hopefully it will give women the confidence to speak up if they are being told they have to accept male bodies in their their safe spaces, LEGALLY YOU DON'T! You have the legal right to say no.

Show it to schools who are insisting your daughters share facilities and sports events with trans girls. The law says girls have the right to ask for male bodies to be excluded in those circumstances.

In fact, it's time we started challenging these schools, swimming pools, girl guide Assoc. etc through the courts.

As in, I do know, but I try to retain my sanity by not thinking into it too much.

And that is exactly what I read, as a non-legal person, when I checked the Equality Act. I don’t know why so many people are pretending otherwise.

That's really helpful. There are a number of threads with questions that could be assisted by this.
