... in the context of the 2010 Equalities Act.

Personal note:

This is a dangerous precedent that is already being used to justify banning trans women from women's bathrooms, and will likely allow male police / security to manhandle women to ascertain their gender. It will also put trans women at a further disadvantage for getting jobs, as if there wasn't enough stigma as is.

Get ready for the genital inspectors, more transpotting (like with that non-trans lady in the Olympics) and an increased amount of abuse of trans people.

Before someone comes in here and says "trans women are making women uncomfortable in bathrooms":

  • Trans women have been using women's bathrooms for decades, and people didn't care or notice until now.
  • If you force trans people to use bathrooms that match their birth gender, you advocate for putting hairy trans men with bald spots in with women in their bathrooms, I'm sure that will make those women more comfortable.
  • You put trans women at real, proveable, risk by putting them in mens bathrooms. Assault and harassment against trans women is common, unlike trans women against women.
  • As mentioned in the post, this is unenforceable. You CAN'T reliably tell if people are trans or not unobtrusively, and you will hurt both cis women and trans women by policing their bodies.

This conservative obsession with people's genitalia is honestly kind of gross. Mind your own fucking business.
