Show PostDespair is not just wrong. It's irrational. Things can change, at astonishing speed. In fact, the flip might be happening already. My article for the Guardian's climate support campaign. www.theguardian.com/membership/2...
Show PostOne of the bigger problems the 2025 ruling has introduced is establishing that, instead of resolving equality cases based on trying to as best as possible integrate everyone's right to be treated humanely, we use philosophical debates about what someone's true legal essence is to decide rights.
Show PostAs the 2011 guidance itself stated quite bluntly, it doesn't mean "men putting on lipstick" get to use the women's toilets either. It means dignity and humanity first, reject obvious rules hacking and work to integrate everyone's rights.

We need to rule based on humanity and dignity.
