The advice of “legal experts”
Churches are not institutions set up to sort truth from fiction. Result: they’re not good at it.
The Church of Scotland flouted the law on single-sex spaces by wrongly insisting that biological men could still share female lavatories with girls, it has emerged.
A mother raised concerns that at least one man from an LGBT club was using female facilities at a church-run community centre in Cupar, Fife, where her 11-year-old daughter attended a drama class. She was told by the church that it was “lawful and often appropriate” for “women-only spaces to include trans women”, despite the Supreme Court ruling in April.
There you go. The truth is it’s neither lawful nor appropriate, but how is the church to know, when its whole worldview is based on fictions?
The church has claimed that its trans-inclusive stance was based on the advice of “legal experts” such as the activist group Stonewall and the Good Law Project run by the barrister Jolyon Maugham, which is seeking to overturn the Supreme Court ruling.
Ah well there’s your problem right there. Don’t ever take legal advice from Jolyon Maugham. The man is a women-hating zealot.
The confusion led to new calls for the Scottish government to take a lead over the issue instead of insisting its policies cannot be changed until the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) issues formal advice later this year.
The Scottish government rivals Jolyon Maugham in its hatred of women.
The Scottish clergy might take note of Deuteronomy 22:5 (KJV): “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.” So these trans galahs are well placed to become the founding members of the Holy Abominations Club of Scotland.
Who better to consult about the complications caused by incorrect, dishonest extralegal guidance on the law, than those responsible for telling these lies in the first place? Straight from the horse’s mouth.
Has the ‘good law’ project won a single case yet? I don’t think it has, so why the hell would anyone take their advice. Similarly, once Stonewall hit the Courts it’s been loss after loss. The CoS is just picking the legal advice they *like*, not the advice they should.
