The Equality Act hoovered up lots of pieces of legislation into one bundle, and it hasn't worked well.
For a start we've had the action demonstration that one lobby with sanity issues can successfully fog half the country into believing that there's only one characteristic and not nine, and manage to lose the eight other characteristics entirely in equality assessments. We now have active conflicts between the interests of the characteristics, we have ministers and MPs taking sides on the characteristics and which trump which, and enabling the vanishing and minimising of the groups they don't have primary interest in.
If the Equality Act had remained in its separate pieces of legislation for each characteristic, and had been spread out between ministers whose job it is to know, understand and speak for that characteristic, it would have been much more difficult for this mess to have happened.
It would be much better to move it back to separate briefs, separate legislation, and at this point to have an LGBT+ brief and minister holding it (who btw would have to realise that this means everyone who is LGBT+ regardless of political affiliation and belief in gender identity, NOT just a brief controlled and run by gender ideology screaming that no, no lesbians exist who don't want cock shut up and die in a greasefire) and a human female brief who is NOT going to be all confused about the needs of half the population based on a tiny proportion of males and would represent females properly. TQ+ has coverage in the gender identity section already.
The only group who would lose out by moving this back to separate briefs is one; that is the one who has benefitted from control and successful monopolisation over the other eight characteristics.
