Wait, they don’t want to be seen as partial towards vulnerable minorities and instead will pander to bigots? This is terrifying. Wtf have you won, terfs?
re: the ehrc, i think the gencr*ts have overshot. they’ve started to alienate people who might’ve been soft-sympathetic. i’ve had normie colleagues and acquaintances bring the parkrun thing up to me unprompted. same with ‘harassing m&s workers’, you don’t besmirch the name of m&s
Literally unworkable, the Gender Reocgnition Act includes a right to privacy for trans people - ie to not be outed as trans - but under this guidance any trans person who needs to use a bathroom ever would be outed as trans when they do so
This is an *actual* conflict of rights

What with how the UK government has and continues to completely eradicate the rights and basic dignity of trans people in this country, I find this absolutely repugnant. The UK government knows nothing about LGBT+ rights and should not be hosting this forum.
As a cis woman if this idiotic guidance sees you get mistaken for trans in *any* way and denied access, sue the public organisation, sue the idiot who decided to play toilet inspector that day & be uncompromising. People only learn the hard way and that hard way is bankruptcy.
Sometimes I think about how nineteenth century abolitionists tried to get people to boycott cotton produced by slave labor, and people were like, “Noooo…I love my fashionable clothes too much and cotton produced without slave labor is too expensive and too hard to find.”
Yeah.
the entire basis of the EHRC code is that specific kinds of cis discomfort - even imagined discomfort, fantasised-about potential discomfort - outrank the rights of trans people to public life within the eyes of the law
@adamndsmith Gender critical feminists can't scream "sex not gender" then exclude trans men from female spaces. I don't give a fuck if they feel uncomfortable.
