1-The case hinges on whether “sex” in the Equality Act refers to biological sex or legal sex established by a GRC. A ruling will not change the legislation itself but will provide clarity on how these laws interact and are interpreted.

Don’t forget how the anti abortionists respond to a woman dying, her children left without a mother. Believe them when they show you who they are.

Addressing the definition of ‘legal sex’:

"It creates significant inconsistencies, which impair the proper functioning of the Equality Act and jeopardise the rights and interests of women and same-sex attracted people."

Sign our open letter in support of @sarahsurviving.bsky.social

A victim-survivor she is asking Brighton' #RapeCrisis service to provide single-sex support services.

Women in Brighton are self-excluding from life-saving service. This has to change.

What complete nonsense.
We don't pick & choose which females we share females public toilets with.
But the female ones include all females.
Across the political spectrum.
And exclude all males.
We don't police entry based on political allegiance.
