EHRC Chair Mary-Ann Stephenson: "The Code Could Be Blocked – The Law Remains The Law"

[IwantToRetire]

When Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson became the new Equality and Human Rights Commission chair, she inherited one of Britain’s most bitter public debates. Speaking to Sienna Rodgers, she urges her critics to grasp that the regulator is simply applying the law on sex and gender – and dismisses Reform’s proposed bill for women as ‘motherhood and apple pie’

Quite a long article but I think worth reading

This is precisely what we've all been saying since last April. If a gang of internet ne'er do wells can grasp this, how can legislators not? Oh - hang on - they can, they are just lying, to push a political point.

I can't say I'm impressed with her, it's lucky it's just their job to provide a guidance to the law as it is and not to make the laws, because I'm not sure I'd like any law she comes up with. 🤔

Why? What’s your issue with her?

What makes me laugh is that lots of organisations were waiting for the code to come out so that they could ‘apply the law’ correctly. Now that it has, they’re all saying ‘no, not that code, we want a different code that goes against the law’!

It's actually funny at this point.
How can so many politicians not understand how the law works?
Why do they want to expose public institutions, charities and private organisations to such financial risks?

That's one hell of a stupid thing to do given the economic climate.

And as usual no mention of why women need single sex spaces, and what happens to particular groups of women when men waltz in and out of those spaces.

This.

She seems to think the system is working, if it was then we wouldn't actually need her organisation. She seem to be trying to see things from all sides, which is impossible, either we have single sex spaces or we don't there is no half measures, if you let men into women's spaces, they cease to be women's spaces. The only time she take's a firm stand is with Reform proposals, I'm not saying Reforms proposals will work, but coincidentally they would see an end to her organisation. Funny that.
