Given the huge pushback I’ve seen among HR professionals and a few woke companies, I’ve been feeling less optimistic than I was immediately after the SC ruling, but all these sports falling into line makes me feel more hopeful again.
I guess sports were always ripe for an early return to reality because it’s much more obvious that men don’t belong physically and also, saying “Waah! I can’t play football any more!” will inevitably not get as much support as men saying they can’t go out because there are no toilets they can safely use. I know, I know, neither are true, but if they were, one would naturally be more of an imposition on life than the other.
I hope the domino effect continues and that common sense spreads beyond the UK as it is discovered that not letting people into opposite sex spaces actually resolves a lot of tension and doesn’t actually lead to genocide.
