Maybe there were fewer strictures on what behaviour was acceptable for male/female humans in the Neolithic? Or maybe archaeological examinations of Lego catalogues through the ages show more children were nonbinary in the 1960s than now. Who can say

Kishwer Falkner and Akua Reindorf: Code of practice provides weapon to defend single-sex spaces. Organisations have long ignored the law on self-identity. The EHRC rules which take effect today will not end that but are nevertheless a victory www.thetimes.com/article/c483...

One thing I'm finding particularly irritating today is men tone-policing women while ignoring the targeted harassment and abuse we face. Some days I'm really running out of patience, and today is one of those days.
Some of the replies here attacking the EHRC seem a bit confused. If you want the law to be different, you need to campaign for specific change(s) - fulminating against the EHRC for explaining the law to service providers who don't have in-house legal advice (aka doing their job) won't help anyone
Glad to see this statutory code of practice for services, public functions and associations on how EA2010 works for all protected characteristics - age; disability; gender reassignment; marriage and civil partnership; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sex; and, sexual orientation.

Responses to this giving a pretty good indication of how men react when they’re told “No” (an eloquent reminder of why women sometimes need spaces of their own)

I struggle to see anything wrong with this position. Indeed, I respectfully suspect this is the position for about 90%+ of the population.

Replies and quote tweets of this are informative about a certain range of attitudes indicating some people are very angry that women in Edinburgh have a single sex service set up in addition to the ERCC service which did not guarantee such services for users.
Scott Wortley@scottwortley.bsky.social · 4d agoIt was preposterous that amnesty characterised a trauma informed service to support women who have been subject to sexual and domestic violence as anti rights. There was an impact on service users and this shows an impact on staff. No wonder those involved were and remain so angry
‘Given that the police service is now recognised as one of the most institutionally misogynistic institutions in the land, it is ironic that a woman with previous exemplary service has been sacked for making off-the-cuff remarks about women’s rights.’ | Julie Bindel

he adds. “When I was a student, one of the things we fought for was that women could operate independently of men. Now, according to this new fantasy world, the one thing women cannot do is decide when they want to be separate from men. It’s not just outrageous, it’s insane.”
Trevor Phillips one of the architects of the Equality Act: “We never imagined that there would be people peddling the fantasy that you can just make up what sex you are. And it never occurred to me that people who make decisions on these things would be engulfed by this fantasy”.

When Trans activists speak of genocide, they mean when people just don't believe in them anymore.
Bodies can never be male or female. You really do learn something new every day.
•Ap_Saegge Tarabiscoté*e@saegge.eurosky.social · 5d agoNo, bodies cant conform to social constructs and therefor can never be male or female. You propose a serious categorical error applying terms for uses they are not defined for. Also this is about DNA which is not "either male or female" but an assortment of different Genes on multiple chromosomes
The rabid misogyny in the comments and quote tweets is unsurprising. Acknowledging reality is never and will never be bigotry despite the epithets and slander that gender cultists can't function without. #savefemalesports

A reminder that the ‘reports’ Amnesty published are not a one-off, but a long-held policy. “In October 2021, protestors demonstrating against our conference in Portsmouth carried sexually abusive and threatening placards, including material Amnesty International UK admitted it had supplied.”
