The trans lobby takes pride in stripping young girls of their rights

[IwantToRetire]

The law that was clarified by the Supreme Court last April said clearly that sex in legal terms under the Equality Act meant biological sex. In the debate that has raged around it, there has been an insane focus on toilets, but the ruling is about more than that.

Women are entitled to single-sex spaces – and not only should our big institutions ensure that this is facilitated, but our smaller social organisations should do so too. This includes organisations actually set up for women, such as the Girl Guides, the Women’s Institute, the Ladies Pond at Hampstead Heath, a female boxing club… all should be what they say on the tin. For women only.

This should be straightforward. Somehow, though, chaos has ensued. This is partly because the Women and Equalities minister, Bridget Phillipson, has refused to lay out guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission, and partly because organisations, often under the sway of a minority of trans activists, say that unless biological men (trans women) are allowed into women’s spaces, they will basically destroy them.

If someone says no to tantruming men, if women won’t hand over the toys, then no one can have the toys.

Just a few paragraphs from a longer article at https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/23/trans-activists-single-sex-spaces/ and also at https://archive.is/xp2Q0

(Have checked and cant see a thread about this article, but if there is one please post in comments!)

It's a good article.

I don't think this point can be made too often. We've already won on the law all but. Yet the institutions are against us, the bastards. I believe Gramsci may have had something to say about this....

I think in most instances Suzanne Moore nearly always is.

And quite significant that she was bullied out of the Guardian.

But then no surprise that the Guardian would put the view point of their blue eyed gay man over a woman writing about the lived experience of women.

An example of tantruming men over riding women's rights.

"...We all know the scenario where two small children are playing and one snatches a toy off the other and they start fighting. An adult comes along, takes the toy away and says: “If you can’t learn to share, neither of you can play with the truck.” One of the children feels that they have been unfairly treated. Neither child is happy. This is where we are on the issue of single-sex spaces for women...."
Actually Suzanne it's more like a divorcing couple where the father kills his kids and burns the house down, so that the wife and mother will be devastated, will suffer for life and may never be safe or happy again.
Women's services are being targeted and the staff and CEO positions are being held by activists.

Thanks Retire, great article and yes, these men need to be called out on this more.

So many people don't see it like this, they don't see how single sex space apply to girls as well as women and they try to paint it as women or more commonly the shadowy American right fascists they hallucinate are pulling the strings as just being bigoted and unkind. They do not see women's grassroots fight to retain their sex based rights. They just feel bad for the poor little trans identified boys being told they cannot do and have whatever they want. They also wilfully refuse to see the obvious older male trans lobby with highly dubious motives who purposefully use and promote the transing of little kids to lend credence to their own tales of "born in the wrong body" as ammunition to steamroller over women's rights, erase women and gain unfettered access to them and their spaces.

What people also don't see is that TRAs were never fighting to be included - there was already trans-inclusive provision. They were fighting, and still are, for single-sex provision to be utterly destroyed, using infiltration, protest, violence, sabotage, and lawfare, and by bullying institutions into withholding funding and refusing to provide premises. I think they'd rather everything mixed-sex than that a single woman or girl gets any privacy.

They also wilfully refuse to see the obvious older male trans lobby with highly dubious motives who purposefully use and promote the transing of little kids to lend credence to their own tales of "born in the wrong body" as ammunition to steamroller over women's rights, erase women and gain unfettered access to them and their spaces.

Hear, hear

Great article, thanks Suzanne Moore.

I no longer feel the need to explain why I don’t want men in female changing rooms or to repeat the alarming stats on sex-offending rates among trans women (biological men). It should be enough to say I don’t want them there. For myself, for kids, for anyone who feels uncomfortable.

(My bolding) Yes, it should be enough.

What are we now saying to girls? You are never allowed anything of your own? You have no right to complain? You have no right to privacy? There is no place you can go where men are not allowed? If you were sensitive and learnt to share you would let men access all areas?

Thanks for the link, it's a great read, everything that pertains to us they want, nothing for women can exists unless it includes them and they're being supported whole heartedly in their efforts by moronic useful idiots (who I now hate with a passion).

I too am done explaining why, we don't want males in female jails, female sports, female single sex spaces, on our wards, in our organisations, speaking for us, taking our opportunities, awards, medals, because.

NO MALES, NO WAY, NO THANKS

So true. There was a clip of Jenni Murray saying how sad it was that all the left-leaning sex realist columnists were writing for papers like the Telegraph and Mail that are on the right. Crazy times.
