“ Police Scotland bans trans people from single-sex spaces”

(Times Article)

Unfortunately this does just apply to Police Scotland premises, not the whole of Scotland, but, seems tricky to do one and not the other surely?

Well that’s a hell of a clickbait headline from the Times.

No ‘trans’ person has been banned from single sex spaces. They’ve been reminded told that they have to use the correct ones for their sex.

The headline makes no sense. Trans people have a sex, so they're not banned from single sex spaces. They're just not allowed into the space that isn't for their sex.

These sorts of headlines are really unhelpful, confusing and inflammatory. 🫤

As said on another thread, about another article, The Times is putting the TRA spin on the actual story.

Police Scotland in humiliating u-turn as it finally bans men from using female facilities and adheres to Supreme Court ruling

Its not clear why suddenlty in a retrograde step the Times is acting like pink news.

Suggest we dont give the TRAs the satisfaction of using a pro trans headline of a newspaper article.

Could ask MNHQ to change thread title to something like The Times doesn't understand the Supreme Court ruling - or something ruder!

"Men banned from womens single sex spaces".
I wish they would report accurately.

I think this from Victoria Smith is a good, I think many of us understand why headlines about ‘banning men’ are problematic but she tends to get to the heart of things and articulates it well.

Plenty of good quotes but this probably sums it all up well.

“It is depressing to see a win for women positioned as a human rights loss. Female people are human, too. Let’s hope that 10 years from now, we’ll recognise whom this story really belongs to.”
