BBC news LGBT guide to the election

Anyone seen this? General election 2019: What to look out for on LGBT issues "GRA has nothing to do with trans accessing bathrooms. That's a right already covered by the Equality act. Watch out for any politician framing the debate this way."

Have I interpreted that correctly, is he saying that trans people already have a right to their preferred bathroom? (do they? Or is it just GRA?) and not to trust any politician questioning this?

Bastards why has no one addressed this fucking ever?

Ok found out they get a new one which surely has dbs implications?

Yes, there was a thread on that a couple of months ago. Bit of a problem there.

Sorry, didn't see the other thread despite looking. I'll have a look.

That's troubling because I can't see where a gender recognition certificate means you get to alter your birth certificate

And no the equality act does not say your feelings come first

It is already covered by the Equality Act: if bathrooms are single sex spaces then transwomen must not be prevented from using the men’s toilets and should not use the women’s toilets.

There's already a thread on this, but no, this is indeed the woke express to wokesville, liberally scattered with blatant inaccuracies like the one you highlighted
