So much energy spent on rising in the equality index:

Interesting comment. Have the Times tightened up on commenters?

They haven't just not done this; it is not a sin of omission. They are actively working against keeping women safe by adopting Stonewall's demands.

I suppose it could have been worse. Relabelling single occupancy loos as just 'toilet' isn't necessarily a bad thing. The implication is that others have been left as single sex, though whether that's actually respected now there is 'third space' provision is another matter.

It's a shame they haven't put as much thought into keeping female students safe

Or just students in general after the stabbing in halls there this week

Warwick Uni seems to have lost the plot

But surely the mix of letters signifies a common group of people who are marginalised, discriminated against and vulnerable and therefore needs rights and allies and protection? How can you need those things if no one knows you are those things???

The U has taken the place of the I. Having had their medical condition appropriated for the purposes of a political ideology, I wonder what they think about now having been re-defined as "undefined"? How dehumanising is that?

“the LGBTQUA+ community. It said the abbreviation stands for “lesbian, gay, bi+, trans, queer, undefined (for those who are questioning or who choose not to define their sexual orientation, in the latter case some individuals may also use the word queer), asexual/aromantic”

Wow. The “U” is quite a tell. This crazy ideology is all about defining people in categories and keeping them there.

“You’re a girl who likes football? You’re really a boy! Quick - to the mastectomy clinic!”
