This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country
A sensible, humane govt would focus on safe routes to prevent people making dangerous small boat crossings

After govt's 11th hour 59th minute climbdown over PIP it's time for Reeves to go back to the drawing board and look for fairer and more sensible ways to raise money - like a wealth tax on multi-millionaires and billionaires to raise up to £24bn a year

honestly... you know, they said that it was about preventing predatory men from ???disguising themselves as women??? to attack women in toilets, and they knew trans women were no threat.
but it wasn't. it was just to humiliate and dehumanise trans people, like any denial of basic dignified toilets

This story is horrific, but it's worse than the title lets on. Because one of the people who harassed a trans woman for using a bathroom at Parliament was Kate Harris of the LGB Alliance. So while Falkner was assuring the committee that trans women hadn't lost any rights, her own ally was...

It's also literally impossible, of course. Concrete evidence that you have committed to living in your acquired gender for a period of YEARS is an essential prerequisite for securing a GRC.
These assertions by the EHRC will make it impossible, vitiating the entire statute.

This always bears repeating. Getting a GRC is supposed to be the final confirmation, not the first step. Saying you shouldn't live as your acquired gender until you already have a GRC is a bit like saying you shouldn't live in the UK until you're already a British citizen.
A couple of things come to mind here. Firstly Reindorf clearly has no idea how the transition process actually works. You have to live fully in your new gender before you can qualify for a GRC, and that includes using the correct toilet.
