That Government initial response following the first 10,000 signatures is complacent.

In practice, in order for women can to have sex based spaces without fear of legal challenge, the Equality Act needs to be updated to make clear that the characteristic ‘sex ‘ is biological, not ‘legal’ sex as modified by a Gender Recognition Certificate which means a man is a woman (even without surgery.)

Are you awake with a little time to browse? Have you wondered how it is a rapists can end up in a woman’s prisons in the U.K. ?

Have a look at this petition about updating the Equality Act to make clear ‘sex ‘ is biological sex, not ‘legal’ sex, and consider signing and sharing it.

Especially as starmer seems to have nailed his colours to the self ID mast. This needs nailing down securely in the EA.

Apologies this is a Daily Mail article, from the perspective of a young girl at school. I made a mention of this petition on the comments. Not sure if they'll approve it.

Well done for trying, and let’s hope they do approve it. Please don’t apologise about this being in the DM when it is really the papers and mews media not writing about this ideological creep that need apologies on their behalf.

To update the Equality Act to make clear the characteristic ‘sex ‘ means biological sex, not the fiction of legal so called sex created by a Gender Recognition Certificate, or someone identifying as the opposite sex - so that society can dare to uphold single sex spaces such as women’s prisons, refuges, rape crisis centres, girls’ schools etc without fear of a lawsuit.

If you think women should be able to have sex based spaces segregated from biological males - such as women’s prisons, same sex care for disabled women, changing rooms, refuges, rape crisis centres, girls’ schools, girls and womens’ sports etc - you might like to sign this petition to update the Equality Act to make clear the characteristic ‘sex ‘ is biological, not sex as in a man who identifies as a woman and may even have a gender recognition certificate to endorse this ( no surgery is necessary and most such men haven’t had any).

The Equality Act allows for discrimination to allow these spaces for women based on sex in theory , but organisations are not providing them because they fear law suits on the grounds that men with the transgender identity of women are women too. Therefore many ‘womens’ spaces have become mixed sex.

The Equality Act allows for discrimination to allow sex based spaces - prisons, rape crisis centres, refuges, care for disabled women and girls, girls’ schools, hospital wards, changing rooms, and lavatories - in theory. But more recently organisations are not providing them because they fear law suits on the grounds that men with the transgender identity of women are women too.

Therefore many ‘womens’ spaces have actually become mixed sex.
