"Suella Braverman said that schools are under no legal obligation to address children by a new pronoun or allow them to wear the school uniform of a different gender. She reiterated that girls’ lavatories and changing rooms have special legal protections as safe spaces."

Meanwhile, Stella Creasy says something about shoes.

"Describing as “bonkers” the need for two doctors to decide whether someone is a woman or not, as the law currently requires, she adds: “That brings up all sorts of questions about what is a woman in terms of gender – what does it mean to live as a woman? I wear flat shoes, I’ve got terrible bunions, is someone going to tell me that living as a woman means you have to wear high heels for two years?"

I completely agree @Peregrina but this time I have to give her a standing ovation 👏

Loath though I am to agree with Braverman on this one I think she is right.

I say I am loath to agree with her, because until now every time I have heard her speak she has talked rubbish.

Stella Creasy: ‘JK Rowling is wrong – a woman can have a penis’
‘Sometimes you have to break cover and be controversial,’ says the MP for Walthamstow and passionate campaigner for women and mothers

Stella Creasy is an idiot.

No mother has a penis.

That should have been dropped.

If the requirement for 2 doctors to sign off on a GRC is dropped, I think it’s only fair that the requirement for 2 doctors to sign off on a termination is required.

It's cringe. Braverman sets out a careful, considered approach. Creasy says the Equalities [sic] Act is "more or less" right:

“Do I want to live in a world where we’re policing everyone who goes into a toilet? No. Do I recognise that there are very real concerns about refuges and safe spaces? Yes. Do I think we’ve got it about right with the Equalities Act? Yeah, more or less.”
