Zero concern for the rights of women. For example bemoaning the fact that a women's group of over 25 members cannot include a trans woman even if the others want to. Well, what if they don't want to? The choice the Supreme Court had to make was binary - sex or gender ID. The author is FtM and is not remotely affected by men in women's spaces. Infuriating.

The fight for trans safety is a fight for everyone’s safety – MPs must have the chance to debate it | Freddy McConnell

The supreme court has made a mockery of gender recognition. Our politicians must not allow the EHRC to further shatter trans lives, says journalist Freddy McConnell

To expand - that non-TIM could bring a case for discrimination (see the WI thread elsewhere on this board).

The thing is - if every woman in a walking group wants to include a transwoman who is actually going to stop them? There aren't going to be any inspections.

It's a complete red herring.

I guess it would be an issue if a non-TIM wanted to join and the group said no?
