Please sign this petition to ask the government to commit to not amending the Equality Act's definition of sex and remove protection for trans people.

The Government has previously committed to not remove legal protections for trans people, an already marginalised group, but this change would do so.

Petition: Commit to not amending the Equality Act's definition of sex

It has been reported that the Government may amend the Equality Act to "make it clear that sex means biological sex rather than gender." The Government has previously committed to not remove legal protections for trans people, an already marginalised group, but this change would do so.

@jroper @BrentToderian @dublincyclingcampaign @DimitriFayolle not sure your opinion on high density areas works globally (IMO). Either way, while there's endless bickering in my city between bus, bikes, private cars (way down theoretical hierarchy) continues to steal all the biscuits.
@garius ah London in the rain. A beautiful piece and very reminiscent of my London. See also the thin skin between aloof disinterest that most folks see in Londoners and riotous bonhomie or at least genuine warmth that can often be broken on late night tube and bus journeys.
@jroper @BrentToderian @dublincyclingcampaign IMO a mess of reasons. 1. We generally have more mature public transport networks. 2. Building more public transport network is relative easy and uncontroversial, at least compared to cycle networks. 3. Mode share of cycling needs more work to boost. 4. Fine grain journeys as others have pointed out will be done more by cycling than bus etc. eg European city planning.
@ianbetteridge this is really stark isn't it? Folks not well equipped to separate fact from fiction & those who have most been shafted by successive governments lashing out & directed at vulnerable to do so.
Meanwhile blue bird is enabling a massive slew of far right conspiracy theorists, trolls, cranks etc. to dominate that space so leaching into mainstream.
@spacehobo @nuttyxander there's a bunch of cycle parking that's never full just round back of (ex-)City Hall. I've often left my bike there. Exposed to elements. But thieves will steer clear due to prevalence of security IMO.
@RantyHighwayman @confusedMiddleAgedDad what happened to C40 Cities? And before that, Agenda 21? I appear to have fallen behind on my sinister rulers of the world are actually fairly benign policy wonks conspiracies.
@sam New Year is a big holiday here. Will DM links in a few days.
@pleaseclap @sam so either it is him or someone is spoofing him. Either way, I'd suggest not ideal to have him on instance. But that's just very much IMHO.
@pleaseclap @sam the profile pic used means either it is or it is someone pretending to be him (same name and matching photo).
