"Petition lodged at WM by Sex Matters asks UK Gov to modify the Equality Act 2010 to put it beyond doubt that the terms “sex”, “male”, “female”, “man” and “woman” in equality law mean biological sex and not “sex as modified by a GRC." It would also legalfeminist.org.uk/2022/11/27/new…
hopefully make it illegal for #Scotgov to make funding applications by single sex services have a trans inclusive policy as a pre-condition. #Scotgov take the stance that these orgs choose to provide services based on self-id which is just a lie. They've gradually had to
"choose it" to ensure their funding continues. So we now have what once were single sex services that are not. This could be challenged now without any change to the #EqA but the dubiety about who is entitled to be seen as a woman in terms of the Act is all over the place.
Here's Dundee Women's Aid for example. By offering a service 'to women regardless of gender identity' do they mean a trans identifying woman or man or both? It is mind boggling that one of the oldest WA groups in Scotland has come to this. 
Do women in #Dundee, or surrounding area know that they could encounter a male in their accommodation or other parts of the service they have to use? And they can't object?
