This is what the EHRC's shitty Code will result in.
All. The. Time.
It's already happening, but if the Code becomes statutory this kind of gender-policing-based-on-appearance will become an order of magnitude or two worse.

Accountability, justice, and punishment are NOT synonymous and I need people to understand that.
I don't want people who wrong me to have their lives made worse. First, that doesn't benefit me in the slightest. And second, you can't punish someone into empathy. You only punish someone into fear.

For every thousand sexual assaults in the United States, there are eleven (11) convictions. And about three of those are incorrect and based on racial profiling.
So please miss me with the "we need the carceral state because of all the rapists" line. It's a myth.

Humans gave it a good go with the Enlightenment thing. We put dents in irrationality, the tyranny of kings and religions and superstition, the belief in nonsense.
We elevated the value of truth and rationality, of rights & freedom, of humans as individuals with dignity.
And then we didn’t like it.
