@soniasodha If you are a trans proponent you cannot answer sensible questions about trans stuff because the answers are either societally unacceptable, scientifically illiterate or unpalatable to the cult. @stellacreasy doing a sterling job of demonstrating this rule.
Stonewall used to have as one of its campaigning objectives scrapping the Eq Act’s single-sex exceptions. Which would be dreadful for women’s rights. I want MPs who’ve got a problem with the Code to be honest about how they would amend the law. Do they want to do a Stonewall?
I’d like to know how Labour MPs who appear to oppose the Code of Practice and the Equality Act’s single-sex exceptions think we should resolve the ‘mess’ via legislation. Is it by dismantling legal protections for female-only facilities & services? If not, then what?
Gender activist claims the platypus has 72 different sexes!
I think this crazy idea comes from the fact that the platypus has 5 pairs of sex chromosomes?
Females:
- X₁X₁ X₂X₂ X₃X₃ X₄X₄ X₅X₅
Males:
- X₁Y₁ X₂Y₂ X₃Y₃ X₄Y₄ X₅Y₅
Still just two sexes 🤓
@JournalistJill@thefempire50 Can they be more regressive?
'Dolls'
They are all about sexist stereotypes. Everything that women tried to get rid of over the years, things that were derogative and misogynist against women, they have taken it over and rebranded it as 'progressive'. Outside down world.
We have sent an FOI request to all 32 local authorities in Scotland to request details of their school toilet provisions to ensure they are all compliant with their legal obligations.
We'll keep you informed.
@stellacreasy Nobody is policing your tone. They are pointing out your complete lack of comprehension of the lawmaking process and status of the CoP. Given you get paid very handsomely to be a lawmaker, the minimum the public can expect is that you understand the basics of your job.
@stellacreasy You’re systematically trying to sabotage a parliamentary procedure, to undermine a parliamentary act, and intend not to abide by the judicial process. All as an elected lawmaker.
Projection much?
@stellacreasy Ironic? You know what is ironic? That a sitting MP would write about tone policing to women who have been banned from SM, been warned or arrested by police, have lost their jobs, won tribunals, because we have been bold enough to say women and children's safeguarding matters.
@stellacreasy Stella, your rights in law as a woman are entirely dependent on being part of a discrete biological sex class. Legally dilute that, and all your rights as a woman cease to exist. Don’t confuse Feminism with #BeKind - you’ll get walked over quicker than you can say ‘TWAW’.
Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.
I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.
Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.
I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"
You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.
Very embarrassing from @S_A_Somerville who replied to @MeghanSCUP saying the West Lothian school ruling was about "different legislation" to the Equality Act.
No, it was found to be indirect discrimination under the terms of EA2010. It's clearly amateur hour at Holyrood!
@EllieChowns The EHRC guidance does not create the law; it explains the law following the Supreme Court’s judgment in FWS. Trans people remain protected from discrimination and harassment under the Equality Act. Disagreement with the law is not evidence that explaining it endangers people.
This is a confusing letter @sianberry.
I have some questions:
1. You’re asking for legislative action in response to a non-legislative Code. Assuming it’s the Equality Act you want to change, does it follow that you accept that the Code accurately reflects the Act as it is?
I am no longer surprised at the degree of intellectual vacuity contained in your posts, but this one is especially worthy of comment.
“We have a responsibility to our trans constituents to resist it.”
Actually, you have a responsibility to your female constituents to fully support it. Yjis is because it is a code of conduct specifically written to assist in the effective implementation of settled law.
“The Code will exclude trans people from services and facilities that they have long used without issue ”
The Code will do no such thing. This statement is either a deliberate lie or a further example of legislative incompetence. Both explanations are probably in play here.
Trans people are not ‘excluded’ from any services. They are specifically included in all services provided based on their birth sex. There isn’t a single-sex service that trans people are excluded from.
If a trans individual has previously used services designated for the opposite sex, they have done so in contravention of the law, in which single-sex services have always been segregated by reference to biological sex. It is the responsibility of the trans individuals concerned, and those who have been advising them erroneously; if they have been acting unlawfully.
It is false to claim that these historical abuses of single-sex spaces has passed ‘without issue’. There are countless examples of detriment to women and girls and a long history of trans infiltration being challenged.
There is no evidence that using correct-sex facilities will make trans individuals more likely to be the victims of violence.
Trans individuals will not be ‘pushed out of public life’ as they have the right to access public facilities appropriate to their sex.
“It ushers in an era of enforced segregation for trans people.”
This is another lie. Any ‘segregation’ that occurs is a) the result of the proper interpretation of the Equality Act and b) based on the material reality of sex. It only requires any ‘enforcement’ due to the insistence of, in particular, trans identifying men that they are entitled to ignore the law, transgress women’s boundaries and infiltrate female spaves for the purpose of validating their identities and exercising their fetishes.\
”The Code represents a profound rollback of rights,”
This is also a lie. No ‘rights’ have been ‘rolled back’. The Code implements the law as clarified in the For Women Scotland Case, which found that it has ALWAYS been the law that single-sex spaces are segregated by biological sex, meaning that it has never been a ‘right’ for a male person (whatever his ‘identity’) to invae and colonise female spaces.
The Scottish Court of Session has just ruled that providing multi-user unisex toilets in a primary school amounted to indirect sex discrimination against female pupils.
