This is unbelievable; and targeting schools too:

Huh? I was just adding the GoFundMe link. If you google Go Fund Me Safe with me it will come up.

Is the Supreme Court decision guidance or is it an interpretation of the law?

I thought it was the interpretation of the law because the Supreme Court shouldn’t give “guidance” on political lobbying - it should be based on the interpretation of the law.

"They explained that although the Supreme Court judgment is guidance rather than law, many institutions have used it to justify excluding trans people or failing to protect their safety at work."

Huh?
This makes no sense.

A person who doesn't want to use the single-sex facilities of their own sex is not "unsafe" using a unisex third space facility, and doesn't need an escort.

Public venues, schools and places of employment that do not uphold the rights of female people to use single-sex facilities are breaking the law. Being escorted by someone with a yellow badge does not relieve the people in charge of the building of that responsibility. Wearing a little yellow badge does not give anyone the power to unilaterally redefine a single sex facility as unisex, which is an attack on the rights of the other users of those facilities.

And the very idea of such a badge is ridiculous as it carries such an irrational suggestion that people who want the law to be upheld are somehow "dangerous". I wouldn't wear an "I'm not a psychopathic serial killer" badge despite being not a psychopathic serial killer either, but trans people are in absolutely no danger from me. I will happily provide anyone with assistance to locate facilities that they can safely and legally use, if they can't manage without support, as would 99.999% of the population. Transphobic violent people clealy exist but at such low numbers that it makes no sense at all to have a special badge to say you aren't one of them.

Dr Ronx is saying that women who don’t look like a stereotype of women are safer around other women if they have a companion.

I’m not going to diss Dr Ronx’s experience that other women sometimes think she’s a man. I also expect that she experiences racism mixed in with that. I can be GC and still think that women can suffer if the section of the public that thinks they can always tell (some of whom are GC, some very pro-gender in a right-wing way) try to police women’s spaces personally - that’s why I welcome clarifications of the law which can help to reinstate the social contract that previously governed them.

I can’t forget though that Dr Ronx’s harm minimisation approach on TV to a girl wearing a binder with restricted breathing looked awfully like affirmation of self harm to me without exploring any of the possible issues that could lead to a teenage girl getting putting herself into a corset. Likewise telling anyone that someone who wears a badge is a safe person is very very naive.

"They explained that although the Supreme Court judgment is guidance rather than law, many institutions have used it to justify excluding trans people or failing to protect their safety at work."

Dr Ronx Ikharia’s ‘Safe With Me’ initiative invites allies to wear a yellow badge with bold black text, signalling to trans+ individuals that they are safe to approach, especially when using public toilets or navigating other gendered spaces.

Launched by Dr Ronx – a Black, non-binary, transmasculine emergency doctor and BBC presenter – the campaign responds to the Suprememe Court's judgment that ‘sex’ in the Equality Act refers strictly to biological sex, a decision that campaigners say has heightened fear within trans+ communities.

Dr Ronx said: “I have often been kicked out of toilets because people don’t know where to place me. But when I’m with someone, it happens less.

“This badge is about making allyship visible. It’s non-confrontational. It’s a signal to a trans+ person that they can come up to you and feel safe doing so.”

Dr Ronx is best known for presenting on the BBC’s Operation Ouch! and The Unshockable Dr Ronx, where they combine medical expertise with youth-focused storytelling.

Off-screen, the Hackney-native works on the frontline at Homerton Hospital while strongly advocating for inclusive healthcare and increasing representation for marginalised young people.

Is this badge supposed to help for example a 'masculine' biological woman access the female toilets without people thinking she's a man, or help her to access the male toilets which is against the law. I am confused !

I’ve reported the campaign to GoFundMe as it’s encouraging lawbreaking, I doubt I’ll get anywhere but it’s worth a try.
