Is the phrase 'specialist single sex services' new? I have no idea what this is referring to. It seems to me that this is an attempt to try and create 'no debate' around some single sex spaces (non specialist??!!) - and pushing debate to just those areas where there is no chance of winning the debate.
Yes, that’s exactly what it is. They are reluctantly conceding where it’s clear they have lost an argument - for example their preferred position is that the safety of women rugby players should be sacrificed to the desires of some males who’ve played rugby to experience ‘trans joy’ in the form of inflicting physical harm on female players. But they recognise they’ve lost that specific campaign goal and they are seeking to shore up their position with their remaining sports and award males access to whichever other sports there are with a sporting body that doesn’t care about fairness for women.
On single sex exemptions, they have given up campaigning to change the law to remove single sex exemptions and are pushing the Stonewall interpretation that they’ve used their award scheme to impose on organisations, making arguments about “case by case” basis, and “safety”.
They will never concede women’s right to privacy and dignity, and they will never concede women’s right to fairness.
They won’t do that because they would have to concede that it’s fundamentally about women’s right to privacy and dignity from men.
Now that it’s a protected belief, they can’t stop others stating that transwomen are men. But they will never acknowledge that themselves. Look how enraged the TQ lobby were about Anderson conceding the safety issues.
The use of “day to day” was pretty offensive, I thought.
