"In a ballot of members, 58,579 (59.82%) backed Egan to lead the UK’s largest trade union with 39,353 (40.18%) backing McAnea. There were a total of 98,251 votes cast out of 1,404,684 – a turnout of seven percent."

This is not a comprehensive rejection of anything

It's precisely the same cats and dogs point referred to at paras 9 and 10 of Quantaville?

McConnell cites Quintavalle - the reasoning at paras 34 and 35 dispatches your argument.

But isn't this covered by implication in the judgment where they discuss R (McConnell) v Registrar General for England and Wales [2020] EWCA Civ 559, [2021] Fam 77?

Paras 99-108 of FWS?

Thank you for sharing and genuinely fascinating. However, this post-dates the legislation by a number of years so doesn't assist with interpreting those provisions of the EA.

The pregnancy, maternity, breast-feeding etc. provisions of the EA can only relate to biological sex.

A variable definition definition of "sex" is problematic and would not have been intended by Parliament.

The EA was a mess when originally drafted, not as a result of the FWS judgment.

Are the principles that underpin your definition of transphobia and, say, Islamophobia consistent?

"I don't believe in Allah" - not inherently bigoted (context dependant)

"I don't believe in gender" - same answer?

The UK literally threatened Israel "if you don't meet our conditions on Gaza we will recognise a Palestinian state" - difficult to see how that constitutes support for Israel or is primarily to do with domestic politics.

How does recognition of a Palestinian state in September fit into your analysis?
