Just wanted to signpost this article I spotted on the BBC front page which is possibly the most balanced reporting I have seen on this issue.
www.bbc.co.uk/news/explainers-53154286
No "assigning of gender/sex" at birth, clear explanation of why women are concerned about single sex spaces and says that it is legal to exclude those even with a GRC if required, e.g.
An example given by the Equality Act is that organisers of group counselling for female sexual assault victims could exclude a trans woman if they judged that clients would be unlikely to attend the session if she was there.
However, refusing a trans woman entry to a pub's female toilet is likely to be unlawful.
Legally changing your gender does not guarantee entry to single-sex spaces, the government says, and the consultation would never have resulted in these exemptions being removed
Dare I believe that there is at last a move towards reasonable discussion in mainstream media?
