Link to extract in DM.

If and when Bexit is finally sorted, and if Boris remains PM, he will surely be under pressure to rein the madness in.

This is your daily reminder that it was the Tories that introduced self ID and kicked all this off, and all the other parties jumped on board.

The only party not supporting self ID is UKIP, who are also the only ones to be up front and say they want to remove the Equality Act altogether.

This Govt have an utterly abysmal record on women's rights. The others won't be any better, and that includes WEP.

I agree as long as the Tories win the next election, but even then only just.
If current brand of the left ( ie those with their hands on the levers of power in the labour and liberal parties ) win the next election I would place money down the road on the first female socialist prime minister having a penis.

Agree that as an article it is rather clunky, covering too much ground. I assume poor editing of whoever was choosing the extracts. Hopefully the book will make more sense, covering intersex to ensure the distinction is understood.

Useful, though my guess is that the intended audience will be centre-right people, often men, intetested in political phenomena, as opposed to feminists. Looking from a standpoint of regulatory capture, it is an interesting topic.

Seems to be a bit of conflating of intersex & trans; leaps from discussing the former to Jan Morris who fathered 4 children as James. But a good addition to the cannon.
