New trans equality civil servant at the Cabinet Office to focus on the ‘implications’ of 2025’s Supreme Court judgment

[IwantToRetire]

Well, well, well.

Talk about sending a clear message about who is more important to Labour.

Trans will get their own cheer leader to make sure they are not discriminated against.

Women have no one to stop the discriminiation of blocking the implementation of singe sex provision.

They are shameless, and they don't give a shit. But Jeez, the optics are awful.

For fucks fucking sake

is there an equivalent post focused on women's rights? (Rhetorical question, of course there won't be)

Huh maybe the government remember trans people have a legal right to sex/gender recognition

🙄

Maybe the government should remember that women have the vote.

Sometimes its hard to keep hoping that the government will ever care about the women. My MP, Richard Ford Liberal, is no better than Labour on this.

£65,000 salary for dealing with the devastating implications of preventing men from perving on women and girls in changing rooms.

Men, men, men, and their erections, and their right to access women - the only thing politicians truly care about apart from making money.

Bridget Phillipson is the Minister for Women and Equalities, if you’ve forgotten. So yes, women do have a post for us. We’re supposed to be GC and pro the Equality Act - all of it. I certainly don’t want it repealed.

I was briefly wondering if there was going to be any working with actual women who need and want single sex spaces, but obviously nope.

'Work on implications' - find loophopes and keep dicks in women's spaces.

Good grief this government. They and Trump busy racing each other to the bottom. At least I suppose at least Phillipson hasn't yet told women that if they don't stroke her ego and make her star of the day on a daily basis she's going to capture whatever country she'd like.

I'm not sure now that the EqA is worth the paper its printed on. It's been proven, if it's inconvenient - even if backed up by the SC - the government won't follow it.

You seem to want to misunderstand.

This is an additional post to existing ministers, committess or whatever. So nothing to do with having a Minister for Women.

But about signalling via this appointment what the priority is for Labour - ie trans rights.

As usual Labour politics is as much about signalling as about reality.

If they really cared they would appoint a working party to work through how the Supreme Court ruling can be implemented.

Although some would say that within our political system that is what the EHRC exists for.

So in a way this new post is also sending a signal to the EHRC even thought the Government is expected to take guidance from them, they are saying because they dont like it they are going to appoint someone to say what they want the implementation should be. ie focus on trans people, not of women.

Women know your place.

Go to the back of the queue

She's the minister, I was asking if there was an equivalent civil service post focused on womens rights

So did the Supreme Court judges; but what trans identified male people do not have is women's rights and protections. There is no such thing as 'sex recognition' for people with a GRA. Sex is biological......and that is what the Equality Act recognises.

A lot of those women are captured by trans ideology. We also require the votes of men who are not.

It sounds like there going to try and change the Equality Act, they're laying the ground work and they're actually going to amend it so that the protected characteristic is legal sex not biological sex, and with the majority that they have they could do it. 🤯

The more this shit continues, the more bolshy and obstreperous I become.

Fuckety fuck, Labour: yet another reason to add my long list of why I'm not going to be voting for you.

Bridget Phillipson is the Minister for Women and Equalities, if you’ve forgotten.
And about as much use as the proverbial chocolate teapot: we've yet to see the new guidance off the back of the SC judgement.

Not surprised tbh. Ever since Starmer refused point blank to describe what a woman is whilst on the election trail you could tell he was a closet TRA. The weasel-y, behind the scenes type.

They need voting out, the whole lot of them are despicable for ignoring the very plain and explicit law that was clarified by the highest court in the land. Absolutely fucking shameless.

I never usually post on here. But this came up on my Facebook feed and i thought it deserved a wider audience.. Steve is my MP and my respect for him knows no bounds following this amazing post. What a brave man amongst the shower of shit currently masquerading as Labour MPs.

is there another way to see that? I'm not on fb

Apologies. The link won't open. It's a post by Steve Yemm MP. This is the copy and pasted text next to a photograph:

Good to meet nurse heroines Sandie Peggie, Jennifer Melle and Darlington's Bethany Hutchinson and Lisa Lockey during their visit to Westminster today.

They have all shown tremendous courage and bravery in challenging an ideology and a culture of virtue signalling in their fight for women’s sex based rights and privacy and dignity for women👍🏻

Yes, they could do this but trying to take the legislation through Parliament would result in an enormous fight (not least in the Lords). So I suspect they're trying to work out what else they can do to placate trans activitists.

I sincerely hope that's all.

I am beyond horrified at seeing a government ignore the law when it doesn't suit them, it's an almighty betrayal of all responsibility, honourability and respect for parliament and government. And Labour have already demonstrated, their mandate was largely fictional, and most of what they really intended was never something they allowed their voters to know they were voting for. Because they knew they would not get in if they were honest.

It's despicable.

Which is surely political suicide anyway? To attempt to change the Equality Act would be an almighty battle, probably taking years, and would face massive opposition. Meanwhile, Ukraine, Greenland, Taiwan? The public already have a long list of reasons (fairly or unfairly) for not voting Labour. Do they need another?

You’re right. They do have a right to sex recognition. That they are the sex they were born, nothing can change that and they should definitely get help dealing with that. Gender is a load of made up bollocks so we don’t need to recognise that HTH
