I wonder if the GLP will appeal. I assume they will as there will be no shortage of people willing to keep throwing money at them.

If it goes to appeal, which court will it be heard by next? And how long until it could get back to the Supreme court?

So confused. It seems to me the EHRC have taken it as our guidelines are fine. So if they don’t need to amend them then great.

Oooo My Word 🤳 🙈

The Judge appointed 💥Genital Inspectors💥

I am shocked!
Just shocked that an Employer can set this as a role task for each Individual Employee.
How can it be possible that the Employee is expected to self regulate in their workplace?

“An employer who provides the lavatories required in the rooms required, and who in good faith adopted and applied a policy that the female lavatories were available only to biological women and the male ones only available to biological men, would do what is required by the Regulations. The employees concerned would know what was expected of them.

The actual judgement is great from what I’ve read so far. Love the shooting down of the TRA toilet policing argument.

Yes, I’m sure the GLP FAQ will be given all due attention and respect in court if women sue for indirect sex discrimination due to lack of a single sex changing room.

This determination will presumably depend on there not being any other facilities available ( "unfavourable conditions"). If there is also a male toilet and/or a unisex toilet then the conditions are not unfavourable.

Why would they appeal, they won 😂

Doesn’t even have to be rich - sufficient that a male says it

Yes he’s addressing the qu of whether non-trans identifying men are discriminated against by not being able to use the ladies. The issue of whether letting trans identified men use the ladies is discriminatory/harassment of women is a separate argument. So GLP are twisting the judgement.
And further, the judge says it will depend on the facts of the case anyway.
You can see in real time here how the law gets twisted and “stonewall law” gets embedded.

It doesn't follow that another appeal will be accepted, though.

It's both fascinating and horrifying. How can the GLP get away with misrepresenting the judgement so cynically on their w/s? Is there no redress for this?

Judge says " Use your common sense".

True 🤣🤣

The notion that an employer or anyone else is required to “police” the use of a lavatory, person by person and day by day, reveals the application of a “logic” so strict that it is divorced from reality and from any sensible model of human behaviour.

It is beautiful to see the response to the clearly ridiculous and disingenuous "argument " that we've had to put up with for years.

They are peaking the judiciary with their shitty Reddit whines.

That’s what I was wondering. Are they a charity? If so they can be reported to the Charity Commission I guess.

I was wondering the same...

Have the journos at Pink News actually read the fucking judgment?

I have no idea how they got that headline.

Or indeed the government's own lawyers.

And again, this is exactly what Baroness Faulkner said - that there will be no toilet police but people will be expected to follow the law, as they do in other walks of life. All this nonsense about people having their genitals inspected at the door has been dreamt up in TRAs imaginations. It's good to see it so unequivocally dismissed by the court.

I think this interpretation of the passage is wrong. Surely he’s saying to allow trans women and not cis men to use the ladies is discriminatory against men?

I have just read the GLP's FAQ on the judgment where they contradict themselves entirely on the same short page.

WTAF?! 🙀 🤯

Just, how are people so wilfully misunderstanding this?

They got it straight from Foxy, and they have a vested interest in click bait and spreading fake news.

Have the Pink News "journalists" been doing their research on Reddit?
