![To whom it may concern,
I visited your [ONE OF] shop/café/restaurant/business yesterday.
During that visit, I needed to use the lavatory. I note that you have undertaken to provide separate "Men's" and "Women's" facilities.
[ONE OF]

I asked for directions from member of staff. At no time did they try to confirm which facility was appropiate for me based on new EHRC guidelines relating to "biological sex".

I asked for directions from member of staff. They asked me a series of deeply inappropriate, private questions as to my eligibility for a particular facility, presumably based on new EHRC guidelines relating to "biological sex".
[REVERSE ORDER AS NEEDED. A ->.C,D. B -> D, C and add "However"]
[C]
By not enforcing the "biologIcal sex"-based segregation which you have undertaken to provide in your infrastructure, you may be subject to litigation.
[D]
Challenging service users or demanding evidence of their "biological sex" may be subject to privacy-invasion-related litigation under Article 8 of the European Conventionm of Human Rights. It is also a deeply dehumanising approach to treating your customers.
I sympathise with your predicament. The guidelines are unclear and contradictory. Only switching to unisex facilities would completely avoid this problem which didn't previously exist.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gwv4re7u3kij4hc3tftufhpj/bafkreicewrnszjcnczqarzsfq4bkhoitqj4znvi3xnaazomcyog4xd3uoq)

EHRC Code of Practice comes into effect today so remember to be an absolute pain in the arse to any service provider who is trying to actively enforce it.
REMEMBER The guidance coming into effect today doesn't dictate what you're allowed to do as an individual. It for service providers and business owners. Do not cower in fear, do not reduce yourself, do not isolate, that is one of the intended effects.
“We’ve recruited a Nazi who is well qualified to teach the police about combating extremism and antisemitism” is maybe the most 2020s British politics sentence I have seen so far this decade
Even I am taken aback at the new and surprising ways these people find to insult the public’s intelligence and make it more clear the only operative professional standard in force is “LOL fuck you”
if a muslim immigrant wrote an article stating he wanted to rape british schoolchildren (as liddle did) the press now praising liddle would be outraged. not on behalf of any potential danger to children, though, they don't care about that. they'd be outraged at the writer not knowing his place
it is more desirable to them that rod liddle beat his pregnant partner than if he had not. they like him more for it, because it reinforces their hierarchies more. men over women, adults over children, etc. it is comforting for them to see their hierarchy play out true
the mainstream press praising rod liddle in death are not unaware he was a bigoted pedophile, they like him for it. the people in their in-group, at the top of their hierarchy, getting away with crimes signals that the world is in order. it is a moral good, to them. the bigger the crimes the better
That said, let us take a moment to thank our Bluesky Trans and Furry Elders for freaking out Jack Dorsey so much he bolted and left us this nice social media playground, taking most of his crypto chuds with him. We thank you for your service.
Stewart Lee did do an extended bit about Liddle, but also about Liddle's essential repetitive emptiness www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-tQ... - that's the start of the Liddle bit, so you don't get haunted by the Katie Hopkins bit.

From the leaked Labour Report. Deputy leader Watson later orchestrated an extremely dubious BBC Panorama “expose” of his party, while Austin resigned and ran an opaquely funded “anti-extremism” campaign all over TV in the election, urging people to vote Tory. He was given a peerage by Boris Johnson.
![This approach allowed for decisions to be influenced by personal responsibilities and political allegiances. For example, after complaints about Rod Liddle over transphobic and Islamophobic comments, GLU proposed suspending him and wrote to LOTO to let them know (as Rod Liddle is a journalist). LOTO agreed with the proposed suspension. However, GLU's Director then informed the Executive Director of Governance, Membership and Party Services that "apparently Rod Liddle is chummy with lan Austin & by extension TW [Tom Watson]" and suggested they "sit on it for now" rather than suspend immediately. The Executive Director replied "Ok. I will speak to lan", presumably a reference to consulting lan Austin on a disciplinary case against his friend.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5hyjbx4hnlxe5il24ydnn4sr/bafkreif2xt42sgqkkedz5xfkmxzjef3i2vnqa5bzne2yfkcrsljfxmhoha)

I still want to do this but we're not under pressure to do it - so may just sit on it for

Ah, this warms the cockles of my cold, dead heart. Wait til you see the price a TERF had to pay for lying about a trans woman. "...also be required to publish a court-approved apology that must remain pinned on their social media channels for three months" www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/07/an-a...

If the new leader is performing better than the previous Prime Minister, because he’s a politician and the previous PM was a Sooty glove puppet for Peter Mandelson and five guys in a trenchcoat: does that not raise questions about how a talentless glove puppet came to be PM?

As I recall, Tony Blair’s boss Larry Ellison said the point of AI is to force people to behave themselves, and I think we should be pretty fucking clear what people like that crank mean, when they say they want to make “people” “behave themselves”.
