Sorry if this has been posted, but I've just had a nearly total meltdown. Not just the heat but my brain having to find that men would presume to say challenging trans identity is a form of genocide Angry

... The Lemkin Institute cannot read the new EHRC guidance as anything other than an attempt to make life harder for the trans and intersex communities in the UK and to erase them from public life as much as possible. There are also several instances where the Code of Practice tends towards the forced outing of trans people who dare to exist in public spaces, which is incredibly harmful and puts trans and intersex people at risk of violent assault.

The guidance is based on the bizarre notion that services cease to be single-sex if trans people are allowed to use them. It goes on to state that this would “very likely to amount to unlawful sex discrimination against the people of the opposite sex who are not allowed to use it.” This means that if a business, for example, allows both trans and cis women to use the women’s toilet, but does not allow cis men to use that same toilet, cis men could claim discrimination on the basis of sex, even though a men’s toilet exists. It is unclear what disadvantage or unfavourable treatment cis men in this scenario would be facing, which are required components of discrimination according to the Code of Practice itself. Given that women’s toilets tend to be busier and have longer lines, we believe that being able to use the male toilet could actually be described as an advantage. ...

The "Lemkin Institute" has no budget and no employees. It's a nothing-burger.

I'd rather pay attention to the Mickey Mouse (and Donald) Institute. At least that would have cool animation.

Men really don’t like it when women say “no”, do they?

No. The guidance is based on the fact that services cease to be single-sex if people of the opposite sex are allowed to use them.

Are the people who wrote this stupid or insane?

There are lots of posts about them.

Stupid, insane, deeply offensive, utterly unaware of their privilege. Do they really think this ridiculous hyperbole helps their case?

“The Lemkin Institute” are two people who astroturf as if they are something important, AFAICR. They’re ridiculous. I think Lemkin’s family have complained about their use of his name.

I read this, shared it to people, and I to lead with the line "genocidal in nature"

What absolute fucking guff.

What a staggering insult to those people have been true victims of actual genocide.

They know no fucking depth to their insanity.
