Bridget Philipson- TW should use toilets according to biological Sex.

Yeah, it's almost like they weren't the party in power for the last fourteen years.

PMQs will be interesting this week 🍿

The ruling is clear though, all males regardless of how they identify need to use the men's facilities doing anything else is a transgression of women's rights and the law.

@BiologicalRobot was absolutely correct, its up to men to police themselves, the only man who continues to insist on invading women's single sex spaces is a "wrong 'un".

Speaking on Tuesday morning, Conservative spokesperson Chris Philp said the prime minister should apologise “to the country” and to a former Labour MP for his previous comments on gender identity.

Philp, the shadow home secretary, told Sky News: “Keir Starmer has been all over the place on this. He claimed a year or two ago, that women could have penises, which is ridiculous.

“He even drove Rosie Duffield out of the Labour Party for taking a common sense view of this issue, which has now been vindicated by the Supreme Court judgement.

“So Keir Starmer should apologise to the country for what he said a few years ago. He should particularly apologise to Rosie Duffield for driving her out of the Labour Party on this issue. So I completely welcome the Supreme Court judgement.”

Really? 🤔 Let’s not go over the history of the western world captured by the gender ideology debacle.

You forgot the “and then throw piss at people” requirement.

If Helen Joyce can call BP's interview "really excellent" I'm not sure what people are finding to nitpick about it here. It's almost like they'd prefer the government not to say this so they can carry on attacking Labour.......

I've missed the Tories apologies for presiding over this mess in the first place, but better late than never I suppose.

Possibly there was a ladies only to balance it out, I will have a closer look at signs next time. I think there was a practicality aspect in that this self contained cubicle was too narrow to fit a loo but can squeeze in a urinal. I don’t mind that, I use this coffee shop a lot as they have plenty of charging sockets, 3 hours free parking, there are plenty of toilets and they are clean. Maybe lots of blokes prefer a urinal. This frees up the unisex provision and keeps pee off of the toilet seat.

Agree with the shadow home sec

There is definitely less umming and aahhing now on the topic, you know, just like we've enjoyed all along as we had clear definitive answers. Because they're working with the truth now! How refreshing. I hope MPs will feel the benefit tbh.

Great interview thanks for the link.

So he's changed his tune, but no apology or acknowledgement of the fact he previously said 1% of women have penises?

Pathetic.

My husband and son (and I) have long hair. The number of times we go to a restaurant and a harried waitperson says “Table for 3, ladies?” is uncountable. And you know what? No one has ever died.

And yes to PP who asked about what BP is doing about schools wrt this judgement. That’s her area and come on Bridget, do your job.

We shouldn’t be happy with crumbs like this morning, it shows how low they’ve taken us.

Yes. This. Having BP Education minister talking about this on an early morning radio show isn’t enough. Having her talk about it anywhere, isn’t enough

Come on Keir, do your job.

I want an announcement from KS that they have heard this judgement and it will be made clear to all public and private bodies that they must adhere to the law.

There’s been too much in the press over the past few days about many MPs not being happy and them regrouping and putting pressure on KS. To do what I’m not sure but you can bet that the TRAs are in over drive at the moment.

Lets not forget that they said a woman can have a penis, we haven’t heard that them admit they were wrong.

Exactly.

Most people aren't going to be searching intently for stray transwomen in female loos but it should put a stop to the idiots going in to flash their dicks around.

Of course this was going to be the government's position.

A few Labour MPs bleating was never going to alter that.

Ah, I stand corrected.

It’s not meaningless - didn’t the women at WiSpa complain about a flasher but rather that the assailant being dealt with, the women were rounded on and suffered accusations of being ‘transphobic’?

Granted, that wasn’t in the UK. However, if a situation was to arise here that was similar, at least now women know they can confidently and with the backing of the law, assert their right not to be assaulted rather than being accused of a hate crime.

@MimiGC I've seen this very stance play out on reddit where people are now saying it was a mistake to say sex and gender are different and that they should have been attacking the notion of biology all along while others are saying that they are in fact biological women because they have surgeries and use cross sex hormones or that they were always women in some unknown biological (even though they were born with typical male bodies) way which will be discovered someday. In short they are all over the place while the line from women has always been that are and remain the sex they are observed to be at birth and that the law should reflect this obvious reality.

If she thinks she’s fudging it won’t do her any good with TRAs who think biological sex is a dog whistle.

Not really. If the woman checked turns out to be female, I am sure that firstly it will become obvious quite quickly, and secondly she will reassure and thank the woman who was doing the asking for defending single sex spaces.

Just like if ‘actual’ women are ‘misgendered’ they just correct and move on. They are secure enough that their reality is unaltered by anyone else getting it wrong.

She’s also cabinet minister for equality so she was asked about it in that role

Yes, it will raise the bar of who thinks it is worth it. If they know they won't immediately be indulged in their fantasy then I expect plenty won't bother.
