Trans people are welcome in my spaces. I am not at all afraid of trans women. I would probably be mildly weirded out by a trans man in a ladies' bathroom, but equally I want him to feel safe, and if he's not feeling safe or is not allowed in the gents', come on in with me.
I hate that this UK supreme court ruling is causing people in the public eye post whatever particular prejudice or bigoted view they have about trans people existing, as if it's now an OK view to hold. Gross.
"But the court has held that it would be problematic to effectively divide trans people between two different protected characteristics, depending on whether they have a certificate."
What does this specifically refer to? I mean we already divide the whole populace, and what of intersex people?
@sarajw stuff like
“And allowing trans women the same legal status as biological women could also affect spaces and services designed specifically for lesbians, who had also suffered historical discrimination and abuse.
Kishwer Falkner, the chair of the EHRC, said it was pleased the ruling had dealt with its concerns about the lack of clarity around single-sex and lesbian-only spaces, but would need time to fully understand its implications.”
