Equality Impact Assessments and Sex Based Rights

I read the Scottish Government’s Draft Equality Impact Assessment so that you don’t have to;

They think the GRA Policy is not designed to eliminate unlawful discrimination.

That’s ironic since changing sex means that discrimination claims on the basis of sex are erased

Neither does this policy impact on advancing equality of opportunity.

Places on AWS are taken.
Gender pay gap reporting affected.
Equal pay claims rendered impossible.
Women’s dignity and privacy irrelevant
Safeguarding concerns unevidenced

No impact.

Who needs to promote good relations? Not this policy

And then there’s sexual orientation.

Well.

“Promoting good relations: Policy is not designed for this”

Indeed.
