Being a Trans Ally

[GRAadvice]

So my workplace has just published a blog on 'the top 10 things I've learnt on being a trans ally'

Item 2 is titled Look for Facts, don't give in to fears' and states that during the consultation on the GRA there were arguments against the proposed changes which played on people's fears. However a trans person's right to access services under their acquired gender does not require them to have a gender recognition certificate and is governed by the 2010 Equality Act, rending much of the scare mongering irrelevant. And as TDOR aptly reminds us trans people are far more likely to be victims of attack than perpetrators

Now this is bollocks - I know it's bollocks but how do I challenge it politely? Especially as under a heading about facts! Can you help me please?

Could you reply
"Some of the statements under statement 2 are incorrect. You are asking us to look at facts while making claims about trans people (being victims) that are not factual" and link to TranscrimeUK or FPFW where the facts are laid out.

^item 2 not statement 2...

So is the bit about accessing single sex services correct because I didn't think that was the case?

This might be a good starting point as it seems quite trans friendly but makes your point on the legal front

As far as I know, someone doesn't need a GRC to be protected under the EA, but protection doesn't automatically mean access to single sex spaces. It's up to the service provider to determine if a single sex spaces is really single sex space or mixed.
