The BBC have caught up on that too. Nobody has pointed out that Ed Miliband is an idiot though. BBC News - Blair says current net zero policies 'doomed to fail' https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpvrwyp0jx3o

Did you put your number plate in?

I have a great deal of sympathy for those trans women who have gone through bottom surgery, as they specifically are in now an awkward position, but they are in a tiny minority of a small minority. Surely it is better to work with the EHRC to ensure that the full guidance (note the use of the...

It is understandable people might think that, but only really relevant if the lawyers for the trans lobby groups were going to have made any different legal arguments to those made in the submissions of the EHRC and Amnesty, and the Scottish Ministers (as the Respondent). Are people asking why...

Indeed, and most people aren't problematic, and most people aren't intolerant of people going about their business.

I think I have said before that I didn't fully understand who the trans community was, and there doesn't appear to be a consistent answer as to how it is made up, as the grouping appears to be largely self-selecting and most definitely nebulous. Certainly I don't think anyone on this thread has...

A sensible start: BBC News - Equality watchdog issues interim guidance on single-sex spaces https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyw9qjeq8po

Probably not worth the bother recording when the majority of people won't get a place.

The London Marathon ballot is currently open.

Interesting question, and I suspect that the context in which a given term is being used would be important. But generally speaking I think trans woman and trans man are broadly understood. So to answer your question, a male to female transitioner is a trans woman, they are still male and could...

I agree with most of that, though I think it is more a resetting of expectations rather than taking steps back as such.

An interesting interview from the Times with a representative from TransActual. A complaint made by the trans lobby is that there wasn't any trans lobby representations allowed to the court, which is true, but rather ignores the fact that both Amnesty International and the EHRC were making...

I think the legal decision has actually taken a lot of the social complexity away. It is understandable that some in the trans community are upset about how the law has been clarified (not changed), but they do need to get on with it now and advocate for how their needs can be catered for in a...

I think that that fear has rather been allowed to get ahead of the reality in some respects, but it is relevant to both groups as I outlined in post #490, and I find it somewhat disingenuous, or at least lacking in self awareness, for a trans-woman who hasn't had bottom surgery to claim access...

That is quite a claim to make without evidence? It may well be true of a minority of individuals, but I'd suggest it is quite inflammatory of you to suggest it applies to all of them. This discussion thread has by and large been informative, respectful and understanding, lets keep it that way...

One final point on the single sex space issue from me. Females can, understandably, be uncomfortable/feel threatened if males are present in female only spaces; trans women can also be uncomfortable/feel threatened in male spaces. The first statement is more problematic than the second*, and I...

Thanks very much!

And the rest! @dwayne has been posting on NSC longer than you have! :ROFLMAO:

Tickets for both Sussex Uni and the Bridge are available for purchase.

Given when most religious texts were written I doubt it ever occurred to them that someday it was something anyone would actually have opinions about! :ROFLMAO:
