Ed Davey has written to Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson demanding she WITHDRAW official EHRC guidance protecting female-only spaces in toilets and changing rooms.
Let that land.
The Equalities and Human Rights Commission — a statutory body — has produced legally grounded guidance telling employers and public bodies that biological men should not access women’s single-sex spaces.
This is not opinion.
This is not politics.
This is the settled legal position following the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on the meaning of “woman” under the Equality Act.
And Ed Davey wants it gone.
His stated reason?
The guidance is not “compatible with long-standing British values.”
British values.
He used those words to argue AGAINST protecting women’s single-sex spaces.
The same Liberal Democrats who lecture the country about tolerance, inclusion and human rights are now lobbying a Labour minister to tear up statutory guidance that protects every woman in Britain who walks into a changing room, a refuge or a hospital ward.
This is not a fringe position within the Lib Dems.
Their leader wrote the letter.
The party has chosen its side.
It is not the side of women.
Repost if you think women’s single-sex spaces should be protected.
@yungchip Interesting that women in high profile jobs portray themselves as financially independent women in equal relationships suddenly play the weak ‘he took care of everything’ card when appropriate!
King’s College Hospital in London has opened a rooftop garden for critical care patients, with its first patient, a 29-year-old woman dependent on feeding tubes, saying the outdoor space gave her “a real boost to keep on going.”
.@marksandspencer Hello! We want women's changing rooms and we want them now. We are not fooled by your slippery attempt at renaming them "fitting rooms - it's different". Not buying your clothes till you reinstate the female changing rooms. Plus we're going to make a BIG FUSS.
🚨M&S manager in Colchester boots woman out for asking where the women’s changing room is.
Claims gender neutral areas are “completely safe” for women and girls then tells her to leave.
Woke corporations erasing single-sex spaces and women’s comfort.
Total madness.
@AndyFitchet My dad would have jumped at the chance.He had three jobs and nothing was more important than being able to provide the extras. When we were grown up he reaped the rewards. Called delayed https://t.co/M3iYSnvOu7 it’s all about the now and complain when others have more than you.
@PeterTatchell Nope. I have short hair, no makeup, wear blue jeans and a t- shirt and yet no woman looks twice …. It’s not too complicated,Peter. And don’t worry about us
“Tomboys” , we can take care of ourselves…
@TheRealJamieKay Government are not there to give fun days out at tax payers expense. They are there to make sure people can eat, heat their homes and clothe their families in difficult times. Safety net.
@darrenpjones they are rewarded via a monthly pay check paid for by us tax payers. how about just getting everyone to do what they are paid to do and get rid of those that don't. I have seem PRP in action if your mates with the boss you are well looked after.
