The Equality and Human Rights Commission has published interim guidance following last week’s Supreme Court decision. It instructs organisations that manage public spaces and workplaces to create segregated mixed-sex bathrooms, washing and changing facilities for Trans+ people to use.
It does this on the basis that same-sex spaces can only be used by people that align with the Supreme Court’s definition of ‘biological sex’, while also saying that Trans+ perceived to be of the wrong gender can’t use bathrooms that match their biological sex.
If taken beyond interim guidance and made statutory, it would be the biggest human rights disaster since racial segregation and apartheid.
The guidance covers workplaces, schools, and services open to the public, such as hospitals, shops and restaurants.
It stipulates that, where possible, mixed-sex toilets, washing and changing facilities should now be provided. In an interim period, it sets out where this is not possible, trans people should not be put in a position where there are no facilities for them to use.
So you acknowledge you were wrong then? It’s not strictly about killing or sterilisation, not is it strictly down to ethnic groups.
Thank you for proving me right 👍
No, we’re both wrong here at best. It doesn’t include sexual orientation or gender identity
I never said whether it did or didn’t. I only said your definition is wrong.
Don’t try to take some quasi-victory out of this.
knobhead.
You: genocide is just when you kill or sterilise ethnic groups
Me: that’s not the definition of genocide, it’s more broad than that.
You: um ackshully it turns out the definition of genocide isn’t strictly ethnic groups, nor is it only killing or sterilisation
You literally proved me right. No harm in admitting that I was right and you were wrong. There’s no need to get upset about it and sling insults around.
You are forgiven for being wrong. It’s no big deal.
