@Toothache01 @AGallagherAlly And now the ableism.

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@Toothache01 @AGallagherAlly And immediately the misogyny jumps out…

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@pauladelofrith @AGallagherAlly I’m referring to the exceptions regarding gender reassignment

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@Toothache01 @AGallagherAlly I haven’t heard of that ruling, could you share it with me?

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@Toothache01 @AGallagherAlly A trans woman using the women’s at work is not doing so based on the equality act as she is not a service user or a client, but an employee. As such, the SC ruling does not apply. Creating this absurd case where trans people as customers or as employees should use different loos.

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@Toothache01 @AGallagherAlly Supreme Court rules on the EA2010, not on the Employment Act. The Employment Act dictates the need of men’s and women’s loos and changing rooms for employers, and those still abide to the GRA where trans women should use the women’s and trans men the men’s.

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@Toothache01 @AGallagherAlly Nope because she is a woman in all aspects of law if she has a GRC.

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@Toothache01 @AGallagherAlly Nope, as an employee a trans woman needs to use the women’s.

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@Toothache01 @AGallagherAlly Not in the case of employment law. If a pub has men’s and women’s loos, the trans employees should use the ones matching their gender not their sex. And as employees use the same loos as the service users, the loos aren’t single-sex.

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@pauladelofrith @AGallagherAlly That is not what I am referring to.

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@Toothache01 @AGallagherAlly So there is no right to single-sex spaces, precisely my point.

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@pauladelofrith @AGallagherAlly Nope, that’s not what the EA2010 says

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@Toothache01 @AGallagherAlly Which precisely mean they aren’t.

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@pauladelofrith @AGallagherAlly The word exceptional is used to justify excluding trans people from a single-sex space that matches their GRC.

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@httrart @AGallagherAlly Yup, those are what sex-based rights are. Rights that vary on the basis of your sex.

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@httrart @AGallagherAlly Nope they’re not, the rights of women are the same as the rights of men.

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@httrart @AGallagherAlly So no evidence. Because you’re wrong.

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@httrart @AGallagherAlly DARVO

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@httrart @AGallagherAlly That’s not an excerpt, that’s a statement you have made. “The internet” is not a source.

[Biggles The Cat @BigglesTheThird]

@Toothache01 @AGallagherAlly It allows exception in some exceptional cases, those exceptions are not rights themselves. No service provider is obliged to provide women-only changing rooms.
