Disability Rights UK defends purported trans rights at the expense of genuine women’s rights.
Disability Rights UK expresses our solidarity with trans & intersex people and the wider LGBTQ+ community following the release of The Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC)’s Code of Practice, which sets a dangerous precedent for the weakening of protected characteristics and risks further ostracisation of trans & intersex people from public life.
What about the weakening of the protected characteristic of being female? What about the ostracism of women from public life? Don’t female people count? If not why not?
Disability Rights UK issues our unequivocal solidarity with trans people, who should not be forced to choose between risking harassment in public facilities – or not using them at all.
But no solidarity with female people, who should be forced to choose between risking harassment in public facilities – or not using them at all?
Why? Why is it ok to take away women’s rights for the sake of men who pretend to be women?
I don’t expect an answer any time soon.
