I know some. A few of mum’s neighbours in Lancashire who are white and old but they are not poor as they prospered through houses that have gone up in value 10x since the 80s and bought a flat in Spain with a remortgage/equity release. Despite being nice to my mum on a personal level they are racist

Going through the EHRC consultation on guidance following the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman.
They just want to exclude trans people from public life.
They aren’t even hiding it. Not for one service because of sex assigned at birth, not for the other because of presentation.
