This video is a great example of why determining historical fashion, without considering practical usage, is incorrect.
You have probably seen tons of Regency portraits where it looks like the dress is a wet linen t-shirt! But, that's not how linen behaves when wet! Even LIGHT weaves!

A Labour government passed the Equality Act. A Labour government was in power when the Supreme Court interpreted it to not mean what ministers at the time were clear it was intended to mean. The Labour government response should have been to legislate to fix it. Not doing so was a cowardly betrayal.
