Suspicious of both standpoint epistemology and credentialism. Leaves me little to say here, doesn’t it?
It would have been nice of them to say, prior to the election, that their strategy for growth was export tariffs.

The two pronged assault of homophobia and sexism.

Until the MSSCA 2013, two people of the same sex could only marry if one pretended, to the satisfaction of medical instructions, to be the opposite sex.

These gender identity fanatics have made Tories look progressive!

I suspect it will be misinterpreted. And it does play into the fear mongering too.

They were forced to do something by the ruling in Goodwin v UK. Had gay marriage been legal, they could have just omitted sex from the short birth certificate.

I think they're actually referring to exclusions from services for their own sex.

Do you remember all the bother of proving your sex for every bathroom break, prior to the GRA2004 and EA2010?

Do you mean to call people such as Kathleen Stock, Julie Bindel and Stella O'Malley transgender? Because they are all GNC, as are many GCs on bluesky.

I think his sole objection was the idea of a change retrospectively affecting people who already have ILR. Although it's doubtful the government have really ruled that out. Last I heard, Darren Jones said it was 'unlikely' to be retroactive.

Par for the course

your sex, complete the search, no offence has been committed by either officer.

That disclosure in the course of investigating a crime is explicitly permitted by S.22(4)(f) of the GRA 2004.

If you are searched, stay calm and get a written receipt. Then complain if you wish. Do not retaliate.

Such as, if an officer is concerned that you are a danger to yourself, or if you are attending an event.

These reasons don't permit strip searches.

If you are being strip searched by an officer whose sex matches your gender identity and they stop the search to have an officer of the opposite sex,

Firstly, any such offense under the GRA is only going to apply when the trans person has a GRC.

Even if you have a GRC, an officer does not commit an offence if they make a disclosure in the process of investigating a crime.

When it comes to searches, there are other reasons they can happen.

The anti-feminist core of gender ideology

It might buy them time to think of/steal some ideas. Hopefully involving taxing wealth and restoring access to affordable dentistry.
