People who have unlawfully been given access to single sex spaces at the expense of women's human rights of privacy and dignity are not my problem to accommodate at the expense of my legally recognised rights.
This is a matter of explaining this, to trans people that they are not the centre of the entire universe and the equality act is about balancing needs.
The rights of transgender people themselves are unmined and lost without the ability to see sex in law. It would affect their rights to equal health care for starters. They don't cease to have a sex, when they transition. Being transgender is an additional protected characteristic not a replacement for sex.
What is needed is clarification on what alternative measures are necessary by organisation and commercial companies to provide privacy and dignity for all. This includes recognising that abandoning single sex provision and making it mixed sex, excludes certain religious minorities and certain groups of vulnerable women so is not an acceptable solution.
You know because equality and other people having rights. Not just trans people.
Fuckwits who continue to indulge this hierarchical nonsense where trans people can not see anyone but themselves need to belt up. Especially if they are in positions of responsibility like an MP.
The LDs clearly have a long way to go before they get it. You'd have thought that reading the judgement would be a good start, but it seems this is too much like hard work for Christine who has simply decided to take the rhetoric that they've lost something that was never theirs in the first place, at face value. This is poor and lazy from an MP. There's nothing to stop her from offering reassurance and asking the right questions rather than trying to inflamed the situation.
She's irresponsible at best. At worst she's provocative.
