This council takes the biscuit!

They are preventing a woman from asking about the risks of predatory men in single sex spaces.

Ban on asking Green council about ‘predatory men’ in single-sex spaces

Extract here:

A woman has been blocked by Bristol city council from asking Green Party leaders whether “predatory men” could enter single-sex female spaces by posing as trans women.

Helen, a university academic in the city, submitted a question to ask at the full council meeting on Tuesday evening but was told it was “offensive” and would not be allowed.

Bristol city council, led by the Green Party, has criticised the Supreme Court ruling in April that the words “woman” and “man” in the Equality Act refer to sex at birth.

The council has been openly aligned with trans activists since it passed a motion in July 2022 to “recognise and affirm trans men are men, trans women are women” and pledged not to take advice from or award contracts “to organisations that promote an anti-trans agenda or propaganda”.

Yep! I'd be interested in seeing the Bristol turnout and the demographics of the wards where these councillors are getting in

I can't imagine what it must be like being a GC council officer there

Bare bones of the vote share, turnout etc, here; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Bristol_City_Council_election but sorry, I can't burrow any further into the matter RN, the fireworks barrage has finally stopped so it's time for a dog walk.

They claim to have 'taken legal advice' before ruling that the question was offensive, which seems very odd.

Did they pay for this advice?

Don't forget that the policy was adopted under a labour controlled council AFTER they had a public consultation, ignoring the findings of the consultation.

If this legal advice was any more professionally supplied than, "My friend Araminta's doing law at the Uni & she says it's not just totally legal, it's a moral duty!" I shall goggle.
