Times front page - Trans guide to protect women is left in limbo
Labour sits on plan to preserve βsafety and dignityβ by letting staff turn people away based on looks

EXCLUSIVE
Transgender people could be banned from single-sex spaces based on how they look, according to new equalities guidance seen by The Times.
The document from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) was handed to ministers almost three months ago but has not been published by Bridget Phillipson, the minister for women and equalities.
The Times has been passed a copy of the final guidance, which aims to preserve the dignity and safety of women, by Whitehall figures concerned that Labour is delaying publication to avoid potential criticism.
Double page spread in the Times - From gender critical beliefs to boxing: what the guidance says

Next image βΊ
The equality watchdog has set out sweeping new guidance on how to apply equality protections for the first time in more than a decade, with a focus on how transgender people should be treated.
The 300-page document, seen by The Times but not yet published, was prompted by a Supreme Court judgment in April that ruled the terms βsexβ and βwomanβ in the Equality Act referred to biological sex.
Here we outline the key elements.
Single-sex spaces
The most significant change is a departure from previous interpretations that transgender people should generally be treated in line with their gender identity in single-sex settings such as changing rooms or hospital wards.
Previously it was thought that excluding a transgender woman from a single-sex setting could amount to discrimination.
The new guidance states clearly that trans people may be excluded from single-sex spaces that do not correspond to their biological sex when it is a βproportionate means of achieving a legitimate aimβ, such as protecting privacy, dignity or safety.
Reflecting the Supreme Court ruling, the guidance said that for the purposes of the Equality Act βa personβs sex remains their biological sex, whether they have a GRC [gender recognition certificate] or notβ. The guidance adds: βA trans man with a GRC is a woman and a trans woman with a GRC is a man, for the purposes of the act.β

This is what happens when bigotries become protected philosophical beliefs. Abuse of the system in ways it was not set out for, leading to case law that essentially repeals legislation. This will happen next with Islamaphobia, and after that, the rest will also become protected.

The report said the increase in green party support suggested for a significant minority of Jews, domestic priorities and progressive values outweigh foreign policy concerns.
The Guardian are reporting a significant increase in Jewish people voting for the Green Party.
It's almost like many of us grew up learning a history of persecution & violence.

A High Court judge has forced a six-year-old girl to keep the surname of the man who raped her mother. We think this is an outrage and are putting together a legal team so D's mother can take her case to the European Court of Human Rights.

I think it's safe to say that people are pretty 'aware' right now. What we actually need is safety and allyship but happy #TransgenderAwarenessWeek anyway.

No-one βidentifies as transβ. They might identify as as male or female and that might differ from their birth sex. More rarely, they may identify with a more complex identity - non-binary, gender-fluid etc.
