No one should be forced to use a facility they don't feel comfortable using. Otherwise people end up being excluded. /1
Some women don't feel comfortable or safe sharing facilities with the opposite sex. They must not be forced to. They need to be able to choose a female-only option instead /2
Some trans people don't feel comfortable or safe sharing facilities designated for their birth sex. They must not be forced to. They need to be able to choose a mix-sex option instead /3
This is fully inclusive set of options. Something for everyone. No one is excluded. /4
Great thing is these facilities already exist. There is an excellent network of accessible facilities – set up originally for wheel chair users – but their purpose is now much wider. They are available to anyone who needs an accessible alternative. /5
Mixed-sex accessible facilities already exist to make not one is excluded. People with hidden disabilities, people with buggies, people who needed to be accompanied by the opposite sex carer or parent, people who want to keep their birth sex private. /6
No one ever needs to be forced to use a facility they don't want. That includes not forcing women and girls too. /7
If males are included in female-only facilities they are no longer female-only.

If a woman chooses female-only she is not consenting to share with males. /8

Thread: German applicants can now get a UK GRC using self-ID.

The UK Government is in no rush to close this self-ID loophole and has instead committed to an 'annual review'.

Thank you @Baronessjenkin for submitting this Parliamentary Question /1

questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questi…
We asked whether they plan to remove Germany from the list of approved countries for the overseas route of gender recognition after the German Self-Determination Act comes into force on 1 November.

They said GR systems in other countries "constantly change" and it would update the "list annually".

/2Image
They ignored our key question about whether German applicants could now get a UK GRC without supplying medical reports. Just a copy and paste answer about annual updates /3

Breaking News: Census data on trans population downgraded by Stats Regulator. /1

“We consider that there is sufficient evidence that the gender identity question in the census has underperformed, with some groups of people being more likely than others to misunderstand the question.”

osr.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/news/osr-publi…
Analysis by Professor Michael Biggs showed flaws in the data triggering this investigation. Public struggled to understand a complicated question about gender identities matching sex registered at birth. Result was lots of people saying they are trans by mistake and inflating the figures /2
The ONS team in charge of designing the Census were captured by gender ideologues. Basic questionnaire design principles abandoned in favour of ideological language and motives. /3
