Have seen 2 articles which alerted me to this lobbying:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/trans-rights-supreme-court-starmer-hampstead-ladies-ponds-b2914769.html

Have now found a copy of the letter:

140 feminist and LGBTQ+ organisations join together to call for urgent action. Inclusive organisations must be protected

Not that any part of it, nor that it has been written and signed, isn't the usual ignore women's rights waffle.

But more a reminder that there is still organised campaigning of the Government to ignore the Supreme Court ruling.

And sadly more than enough "charity" groups ready to organise against women's sex based rights.

SNP-funded charities demand UK Government disobey Supreme Court gender ruling

The Scottish Government has been urged to review its funding for a number of LGBT organisations which have signed an open letter about allowing biological men to use female services and facilities.

140 organisations that think men should be allowed to get undressed in the same place as women and young girls getting undressed are lobbying to change the law to allow this.

It's funny what happens when you put it into plain English in a factual way.

If this government had a realistic plan to make men female and therefore allowed onto womens single sex spaces, they'd have anounced it by now.

If TRA had a logical reason why men should used the incorrect single sex space, they would have announced that by now, too.

"Im planning to get, or have a piece of paper', it turns out, isnt enough.

It doesnt matter if they write to the government every day. They will always be men.

The only thing they could do it try to push to remove SSE, or make single sex spaces rarer. But single sex exists for a reason, and that reason doesnt go away because its inconvenient to their fantasy.

I remember that other letter from all the "trans inclusive businesses" furious at the cost of providing legal single sex toilets in the face of the SC. Outside of some student unions, the majority turned out to be single person sole traders working from home but self identifying as major corporations. Not a shared toilet between them 😅

As usual, when you look behind the curtains of outrage - it's just a rag bag of entitled people who've never been told no.

It would be interesting if those writing in who worked from home truly went for the standards that are in place for unisex toilets in offices and public places. The loos have to be capable of being opened from the outside quickly and the door hinges capable of being reversed so you could open the door outwards. There would need to be minimum width dimensions, a standard height toilet bowl, fire alarms - ideally visual as well as audible, hooks, washable walls, doors resistant to sound, sanitary bins etc. They need a hand dryer - a blower or paper towels and a separate bin for that. They ideally have to lead out onto main circulation space too, like a hallway. High quality CCTV outside the toilet room sometimes retrospectively shows the lurkers faces and who’s been in and out for misuse (sex, drugs, hiding cameras) so you can catch them. Obviously ventilation rates have to be considered and some sort of mechanical ventilation is second best if natural can not be achieved.

A public toilet may only last a few hours before it’s vandalised though. Estimates put the cost of running a council public toilet at 15k per year. And if they really go for it on safety recommendations, clear bin bags within toilet rooms are used in high-risk terrorist locations.

If they had an incident in the toilet room whilst at work, they couldn’t sue themselves for not being up to standard. Perhaps they could have a radar key fitted? That was an attempt to stop misuse in the original mixed sex private toilets (the disabled). However you can buy one for a couple of quid on the internet so bare that in mind.

Home toilets aren’t upto the health and safety standards of public toilets.

Protect them from what? Women having rights? Women having anywhere to undress where a man can't be there to spectate for his own reasons?

There can be all the trans-inclusive spaces wanted. Everywhere. There's apparently all of Westminster keen on this, the lobby behind them, a lot of money, bring them on!

There just have to be single sex ones for women too, for women who want and need them.

Aren't some of those signatory orgs just the same few mardy blokes operating under different names?
Some of the others are redundant by virtue of being umbrella orgs, a few are limping towards a winding-up/ compulsory liqidation. Most rely very heavily on State funds one way or another. Foolish of them to let GIRES & so many Pride orgs sign, very much a hostage to fortune vibe.
All in all a rather silly flex
