The BBC keep doing this. This isn't true. This is straightforwardly wrong in law. The ruling *only* applied to the Equality Act 2010. Trans women are still legally women for the vast majority of purposes! That's the whole point of the Gender Recognition Act.
I've put in a complaint. So can you.

![Photo of Sandi Toksvig with text "I won't stand by and let that happen. I will stand up each time and say no. Clearly, if you're anti-trans, it's because you don't have any trans friends. If you did, you wouldn't be able to look yourself in the [mirror] as you say these terrible things."
She wants to see "more trans people in the public eye," whether it be in politics or on television. Offering a comforting word to the transgender community, she says: "Please know I understand and I'm here. I don't know for what, for a cuddle? I'm here to be the grandma lesbian who goes, 'Let's just keep going'."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pthqhdut3jgrn2jauh4gd6zw/bafkreid5hgoc26evs2d7o5urqgofjjnqj27xxz42dndk26mrmo7c56xn7q@jpeg)

It drove me to write it; it took 17 days. Hypergraphia, in fact; a strange, little understood glitch caused by either temporal lobe epilepsy or, in my case, bipolar.
