There's an active petition you can sign to this effect, if you're so inclined.

I'm not sure if we're allowed to link to it directly? Anyway, if you enter this thread's title into Google, it should come up.

Today's events show how important this is.

There are few important petitions flagged on the Ovarit website (you can read without joining). The UK gov ones are easy to spot with the Green thumbnail image.

So good news is, everyone I share it with is signing. Bad news is no one seems to know anything about the issues, very shocked about men in women’s prisons etc.

It is bad news. Another thing most people won’t know, which I’ve just found out, is that doctors cannot know from medical records what sex someone is, because people can get a new NHS number and create a fictitious record of their sex.

More important than ever given the Cambridge Dictionary is now actually saying a ‘woman’ means not only an adult female human but also a man ( complete with ‘sex assigned at birth’ nonsense speak.) See other threads on this and Google newspapers

Look up these words to sign the petition:
Update the Equality Act to make clear the characteristic “sex” is biological sex

It has never been more important to sign, given the Scottish have just dug in with a legal ruling that a man who says he is a woman legally has the sex of a woman.

From the Telegraph 13 December:

Biological men can legally become women and gain their legal protections, a Scottish judge has ruled, in a landmark case which raised new fears over the dangers of Nicola Sturgeon’s transgender reforms.

Lady Haldane on Wednesday confirmed that gender recognition certificates (GRCs) change a person’s sex in the eyes of UK equalities law, in a judgment issued just a week before MSPs vote on a system which would allow Scots to obtain the documents simply by signing a declaration.
