AS a holder of the GRC I AM officially, legally, fully classed as a "Female", as I am on m,y Birth Certificate" I am therefore entitled to be treated as a female in all respects, including receiving the State Pension at the female 'commencement age, not at 65-67 as for men.
It is illegal for anyone to exclude me from a female space unless it is for the reasons of any other woman being excluded. You are obsessed by toilets, but yes this includes discrimination on stopping me using the female ones of those."
"Section 9(3) of the GRA says that terms and conditions apply. It says your GRC entitles you to be treated as female for all purposes subject to provision made by this Act or any other enactment or any subordinate legislation
Which means there are exceptions. Some are in the GRA itself (sports, inheritance, parenthood) and some are in the EA (single sex exceptions). There is ongoing legal discussion of exactly how much weight to give a GRC when deciding whether it is proportionate and justified to exclude a TW from female only space, however it is not illegal in theory to exclude you"
Not if the women(or man) has the correct genitalia for their legal gender i.e. has undergone full gender reassignment and possess a GRC. It is illegal to exclude me as that would be considered "unreasonable" in law, no matter what sub-sections people quote, and discriminatory as I am physically female.
It is though being discussed that anyone with a GRC, even with the old genitalia still in place, can now be treated legally as their chosen gender. Now that IS controversial, even for me, as I can foresee very real problems with women with penis's in female spaces, or involved in female sport. I have not got all the answers on that.
The question then comes about intersex individuals, but that is another subject, although discrimination can and is evident in that field.
Yes, with men and women now the State Pension age is the same, but I was born in a year that qualifies for the womans old pension qualification.
