Britain's Equalities Watchdog Met Privately With Anti-Trans Groups

It always reminds me of Seinfeld when the Mr Costansa called Mr Seinfeld to threaten him that they were moving into the same retirement village (purely because they didn't want them to) 'we'll be in the swimming pool, we'll be in the sauna, we'll be in the breakfast room...'

This was posted on Women Reclaim, with a link to the vice article.

Bloody hell. The exceptions are written into the law.

All the EHRC is doing is upholding the actual law!!

Still, as I've always said, the biggest advert for upholding women's rights are transactivists.

So what PC had Ben highlighted and which were ignored, and the invented option

The EHRC was established in 2007 by the then Labour government to monitor human rights in England, Wales and Scotland, and to enforce equality laws based on protected characteristics,
such as
•sexuality, [< what? did you not read your own article?]
•gender reassignment,
•race and
•religion.

An EHRC spokesperson said: “We are an independent statutory body with a specific responsibility to ensure equality across the nine ‘protected’ characteristics of
• age,
• disability,
•gender reassignment,
• marriage and civil partnership,
• pregnancy and maternity,
• race,
• religion and belief,
•sex and
• sexual orientation.
Sometimes this means balancing rights, and we understand that this issue in particular evokes strong views.

When the author cant get the basics correct is there little hope for the rest of the article.

Women opposing the loss of women’s rights must be anti-trans, because:
A) the world revolves around trans people; no one could look at anything from any other point of view
and
B) women are so insignificant that no one, even women themselves, could genuinely care about their rights.

How on earth did I miss cutted up pear ?

Well the outgoing chair is ex Stonewall. And ALL of them, Mermaids etc, have been crowing about how they have had the ear of various regulatory bodies. But 5 minutes for someone else to have a chat and the last 5+ years disappears in a flash.

But they didn't speak to Steph.

At least Ben from the BBC (ex) speaks to Steph.

This is a classic narcissistic rage trantrum.

All those replies...

Which trans bodies have you spoken to in the last 18 months?

Well the outgoing chair is ex Stonewall

What activities in relation to the Equalities Act 2010 impact on the rights of trans people, would that be the bit about exceptions due to sex? Included for good reason to protect 51% of the population. We have to keep these spaces safe for women and girls & provide services specific to their needs, I can't believe that we are having to fight for this.

The EHRC has posted a thread:

twitter.com/EHRC/status/1488918951082045441

'"I do not intend to "steal" a womans body, her place, her mind.
I LOVE women.
But...'

Would it be correct to conclude from this that Hunte's career is in freefall?

Not sure what "Steph's Place" is but it seems like a long way down from the BBC.

Dear lord.

It's extraordinary that they can't possibly have any idea what they sound like, otherwise they wouldn't write such unhinged guff.

Do they genuinely think this is going to be influencing anyone?

😂😂😂 They'll make an excellent partnership.

I've just seen We Are Fair Cop tweet that Ben Hunte is advising Kent Police at their LGBT conference.

Steph needs a time out and a talk about how throwing massive tantrums doesn't get you what you want.

What is revealing about the toddler tantrum response to the EHRC applying their judgment of the law, is that it seems previously, Stonewall and co represented the Lord Wonderful Daddy The Marvellous figure to, and within, these taxpayer-funded organisations. Like cutted pear mum, women were tolerated so long as they were just there to do the leg work and show no dissent.

No more.

Well it makes perfect sense that womens rights groups had to meet privately because the TRAs have a track record of making death threats, destroying womens livelihoods & are proven violent aggressors.
If it had been known about in advance those real women would have been at risk of real harm.
That is the reputation TRAs have given themselves through both words & actions which really should be their bigger concern than what real women do.

It's just the same as any other meeting where there is a risk of harm to the attendees & is the responsible thing for the Equalities Watchdog to do.

Not that it is any TRAs business what women do because they either deny they are women or were never women in the first place.

I don't see why the ones who say they aren't women would have any interest in what women say about womens rights relating to living as a biological woman & it's nothing to do with the ones who are biologically male.
