Feels like this whole situation should realistically have opened the door to a sort of universal agreement that the law is fucked in the areas of trans rights and then should be followed by a consultation period with a view to fixing the law in the future.
Instead it seems we now have “clarity” with a bunch of holes and no one really knows what is going on, but it’s being considered job done? If clarity can be interpreted in a range of different ways, it isn’t clarity.
Why can’t we just treat humans like humans? It’s not bloody difficult
Reduced rights like no access to public toilets and no (or very very limited) access to services for victims of sexual assault or rape?
How long before they get this extended to other people under the LGBT umbrella? We’ve already had people aiming at bisexual women in lesbian spaces.
The EHRC’s stated mission is to promote equality in society.
When the leader of that organisation suggests that we accept inequality, then either the leader is not a good fit for the organisation, or the organisation is not fit for its purpose.
Surely any ‘equality’ body which is demanding a minority group accept fewer rights is patently not fit for purpose?
You tell any other group in society they should accept less rights and there would be an uproar. Its a disgusting shitty world we live in where Trans people are scapegoated.
What’s the point in it being called the **Equality Act** then?
May as well call it the **Animal Farm Act** if we’re going with:
>All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
After all, this discriminatory bullshit is straight out of George Orwell.
>there has to be a period of correction, because other people have rights.”
So there are only so many rights to go round? like a finite number, and there’s a hierarchy of who gets what right first?
I’m so glad we got the Tories out. Really feels like things have changed. /s
At the risk of being cliché and ironic, this statement from the EHRC shows that the mindset of transphobes is pretty much identical to that of Dolores Umbridge.
They see themselves as some untouchable authority, and to oppose or even question them is treated as an horrifying insult which they demand be punished.
