And it's "after lunch"

NoBinturongsHereMate · 27/11/2024 14:01

Staples and homework!

It's going to a be a long afternoon so I've opened not one but two bars of chocolate!

No chocolate here, a tragic tale.

So if the protected characteristics are not based in reality but self-perceived characteristics:
I perceive myself as being disabled (after all it’s self-perception that matters) so I am going to claim any benefits/allocations as my perception of my protected characteristic overrides everything else, and if that reduces the equity of resources for the actual real disabled that’s tough on them. I am also going to apply for a blue badge and not show it because it’s secret. And if any one has a go if I am in the wrong place say they are at fault just because. I know I am living as a disabled person as it is my perception - there should be no burden of proof for me.

I think that’s what she was saying but with women instead of disabled and GRC instead of a blue badge.

Yes indeed!
You can't confer a fundamental human right to do or have something which is impossible. Like unaided flight, or changing sex.

If 9(1) is a deeming provision, it doesn't matter that sex and gender are used interchangeably. Gender may have been just another word for sex at that time. Plus the Goodwin judgement talks about gender identity, if that is what was meant, the lawmakers could have used that in the GRA or the GR bits of the EA.

IANAL, of course.

Not going to answer the question "living as a woman" - not relevant <sigh>

I think they're still looking for a working stapler.

If I post 'Paperclips, Ma'am!' am I being pointlessly obscure? Can't resist it. 😏

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 27/11/2024 14:02

'Trans men' mentioned almost as an aside, there.

Ain't that the truth.

Appalonia · 27/11/2024 14:03

EHRC guidance, but what is it...??

Boiledbeetle · 27/11/2024 14:03

Is she waffling the best of waffles through her answers!

NoBinturongsHereMate · 27/11/2024 14:03

What it means to live as a woman not really relevant (!), but here's the list of the paperwork the GRC panel needs.

ANameChangePresents · 27/11/2024 14:03

🙃<--- living as an Australian.

Makes about as much sense

Boiledbeetle · 27/11/2024 14:03

She can't answer the living as a woman can she

SallyForf · 27/11/2024 14:04

Nope. She's got nowt.

NoBinturongsHereMate · 27/11/2024 14:04

Was that 'no adoption example'?

Appalonia · 27/11/2024 14:04

She might as well say, the dog ate my homework!😂

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 27/11/2024 14:04

She's not had a happy relaxing lunch has she...

Shortshriftandlethal · 27/11/2024 14:04

Tells woman to her left to " Shut up; evidence from Pink News is not applicable"

Boiledbeetle · 27/11/2024 14:05

Can't see the judges being impressed with the standard to which she did her homework. Very the dog ate it.

@NoBinturongsHereMate are you thinking of the Mischief Rule? The Law in Haydon's case 1584?

NoBinturongsHereMate · 27/11/2024 14:05

No legislated specifics on contents of 'Declaration' for GRC.
