I was actually in Moscow when the USSR turned into Russia, December 1991; I was on a fortnight-long school exchange at the age of 13. So essentially, it's all down to me, I caused the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the USSR to happen.

But not necessarily much of a lag - I started first sixth in October 2001, was called after that and started second sixth in April 2002, fully qualified at the end of September 2002.

If my Dearly Beloved had said "we are pregnant" I would have become a single soon-to-be-mother. Because he absolutely, definitely, wasn't pregnant. "We are expecting a baby", or "we're going to have a baby in July" or whatever, I'm cool with that. But only one of us was pregnant.

If you can exclude men, you can exclude trans women. Because they are men, not women, under the EqA.

Yes. In the same way as if I'm thrown out of an event for being Muslim. I'm not Muslim, but if I'm thrown out of it on the mistaken basis that I am, it's discrimination on the grounds of religion.

A couple might share a car, I agree. Or a holiday. Sharing a child sounds a bit judgment of Solomon?

In legal terms in the UK, as stated by the Supreme Court yesterday, trans women are men.
