#EHRC: #Equalities #watchdog #ignored #transrights #concerns over ‘#biological #sex’ #advice from Gender Criticals.

#HelenBelcher, #chair of #TransActual, said the #EHRC letter seemed to be indicate the watchdog is “keen to assist in the #redefinition” of the word “#woman” (to exclude trans people)

“Trans people no longer seem to be people in their eyes. Our pains and struggles are seemingly irrelevant.”

#EHRC: #Equalities #boss #asked to #explain what ‘#biologicalsex’ is. He failed.

In a subsequent meeting between the #EHRC and members of the #LGBTQ+ #community, #TransActual #chair #HelenBelcher asked the #watchdog’s #CEO, #MarcialBoo: “What is biological sex?”

Boo struggled to answer. Instead, after seconds of silence, he #deferred to #MelanieField, who eventually admitted that they had interpreted it to mean essentially "administrative sex" – no biology involved.
