Silly @greenparty.org.uk councillors walked out of a Bristol City Council meeting, rather than answer a question from a member of the public about its policy on allowing trans women into women's spaces. The subject was described as "offebsive".

This is the oppression ladder in action. A black lesbian counts for less than a white man who claims to be a woman.
BTW: this man has served time for drug dealing and has domestic abuse on his record.
How can anyone think this is OK?

For someone who ahs written a book about how Westminster works, he has no idea how the law works.
The guidance is to help people comply with the law. The law is the law. This just makes it more likely organisations will be sued.

You'll have to ignore the buckets of anti-trans campaigning commentary in the piece, but the basic news is quite simple. The EHRC has failed to get the government to accept its anti-guidance in haste. Something is holding it up, perhaps for another a year www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
