Women then. The supreme court made it clear that service providers should ensure that such women, and men, who don't identify with their sex are still accomodated. This can be done by offering unisex 3rd spaces or trans specific services.
Of course this doesn't provide the validation of being in the spaces of the opposite sex but it's a perfectly workable compromise.
The exclusion of trans people has been a manufactured process. It relied on political appointments and political interference - Falkner, Cass, and now the Supreme Court.
It's held together with a string of lies that you've been parroting endlessly.
But we know what parliament intended with the 2004 act and with the 2010 act.
I have all of the records of the drafting committee, all printed out and in folders right here at my side. Together in this house we've combed every paragraph and every page. There is absolute and indisputable evidence from the then Solicitor General. The European Court of Human Rights are beyond the reaches of UK politicians. When it gets there, the truth will out.
Q75 Dr Harris: Yes, indeed, but let us say they did, “But we are not going to allow a woman priest who is in possession of a Gender Recognition Certificate, who is a woman”. They would argue that is a permitted exception under gender reassignment. Is that a clash with the sex discrimination provisions?
Vera Baird: Is that right?
She is a woman now for all purposes, not a transgender person, a woman.
Q76 Dr Harris: Right.
Vera Baird:
That is the point of the certificate, is it not, to make it clear beyond doubt and that is where all her rights come from.
Q77 Dr Harris: So what you are saying is someone with a certificate does not fall within the protected ground and, therefore, exceptions on that protected ground—
Vera Baird: (interrupting).
Will fall within the protected ground of sex.
Chairman: I think you have answered the question.
The Solicitor General makes it plain that the rights that come from 2004 flow through the Equality Act, it was not necessary to write that within the EqA, it was ''clear beyond doubt''. Melanie Field, the Lead Writer of the Bill was correct.
