Ten years after the passing of the UK Equality Act, it’s time to take stock. Key issues include emphasising the protected characteristics of sex and sexual orientation and the rules on sex-protected spaces. There’s a pressing need for clear guidance./1of4

In particular we need to examine how the Equality Act works in today’s world, in which the broad category of “gender reassignment” instead of the small group of 5,000 people in the UK (in 2004) is now being applied to 100 times as many people: half a million./2of4

This “trans umbrella” covers at least 17 different kinds of people (according to Stonewall), who have little if anything in common. @MForstater reviews what’s happened over the years. We need #ClarityOnSexAndGender./3of4

Please listen to the urgent concerns raised here. @BorisJohnson @carolinenokes @APPGLGBT @KemiBadenoch @MarshadeCordova @Flaubertiste @Keir_Starmer @HelenGovtEqual
