Ashley Nova — Unfiltered, Unhinged, Uncaring@ashleynova.space · 2w ago

So much misinformation being spread on tiktok about the new EHRC Code by seemingly well meaning cis people who simply have not read a single thing trans people have been saying about this code or bathroom bills in general, and it's all being amplified by terrified and misinformed trans people.

Trans men in women's toilets is not a gotcha, the EHRC code explicitly calls out that trans men (and women) could be excluded from all single sex spaces, in order to protect the sensibilities of other service users, but it all rides on services actually policing those spaces in the first place.

Seeing a lot of “now men can say they are trans men to get into the women’s” again today, stop it.

The EHRC guidance slipped its way into law by default overnight. Do not self-police and do not let toilet weirdos and changing room weirdos dictate how you go about your life.

Do try to remember that the EHRC guidance only affects service providers and not employment, so if you work somewhere where there are toilets or changing rooms for employees that aren’t open to the public then your employers are wrong if they try to stop you from using facilities for your gender

As a human rights law academic, I'm ashamed of this country today and I'm ashamed of our supposed equality commission.

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'

If a member of staff approaches you “I am not discussing private information in a bathroom. If there is an issue, please speak to me discreetly outside.” “I need safe toilet access. What private option can you provide?” “I am not answering questions about my body, medical history or legal status”

Your reminder Rod Liddle not only said he couldn't have become a teacher because he "could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids" in The Spectator, but he also wrote laws banning child pornography are "absurd" in The Guardian. Abhorrent.

It seemed to me virtually impossible not to, and I was convinced that I'd be right in there, on day one. We're talking secondary school level here, by the way and even then I don't think I'd have dabbled much below year ten, as it is now called. I just thought we ought to clear that up early on. At my old comprehensive school a few teachers were known to be schtupping the pupils; one of them, a female teacher who was extremely foxy in a Pot Noodle scuzzy kind of way she copped off with some fifth-form lad, and another teacher (a man with a guitar and aGuardian Should it really be a crime to look at child pornography?

But at least it is an appropriate reflection of our collective neurosis and confusion about paedophilia generally. The one laudable and necessary aim - to protect children from abuse - has become warped by our consuming, obsessive hatred for those who find children sexually attractive. There is no causal link between viewing child porn and abusing children. And even if there were, it would not be sufficient, within the philosophy of our judicial system, to simply assume that an unpleasant penchant for the former
