You said to @EDP24 that you "do not allow men to use the female changing rooms" and a "spokesman confirmed the centre does not allow men in women's changing spaces and vice versa."
Since you rec'd complaints about men in female spaces, you snuck in a change of words. What on earth are "gendered" changing facilities, @SportsparkUEA?
Clear plain language is required. It's an issue of #safeguarding with 12 yr old girls changing without parental supervision.
Failing to respond to women who complained and saying we recognise complexities and sensitivities & prioritising men's rights isn't good enough.
Read the @EHRC guidance on single-sex changing rooms and apply it.
Do you think deleting the word "birthing" is enough?
Failing to talk about mums, mothers and maternal services excludes women who may have English as a second language or with special needs, and distresses some mums. It is dangerous.
You are doubling down - and not listening.
You have a duty to all 9 protected characteristics.
By following #Stonewall advice to erase the words, woman, mums and maternity from your patient outreach, you are failing women in 3 protected characteristics, sex, race and disability.
Erasure of the word “woman” is part of
a political & cultural movement delegitimising clarity about sex.
Sex matters for safety & dignity in healthcare for recording accurate information, obtaining consent for examinations & providing single-sex facilities & accommodation.
Avoiding the word woman when referring to maternity mental health and female biology, and instead using “pregnant people” is your participation in that highly contested political movement, @NSFTtweets, and is discriminatory.
