So you won't be supporting the legal case that argues 'gender critical' views should be protected in law?
Brill. I look forward to reading your piece explaining why @MForstater is wrong to be doing just that.
(Unless, of course, it's only trans women's views you disagree w).

Let’s say we just accept that bit so we can let it go; how is it related to “the legal case that argues 'gender critical' views should be protected in law”?
"Religion and belief" is a protected characteristic. You should not be discriminated against or harassed at work or as a customer/service user etc... because of your belief or lack of belief

There is no fixed list of the non religious beliefs that are covered, but there are established criteria; they have to be serious, coherent, weighty, worthy of respect in a democratic country & not incompatible with other's human rights.

Okay...? We agree on that then...?

But that does not mean you can believe your way into other protected characteristics e.g. age, sex, disability, pregnancy which have objective definitions.

Only beliefs worthy of protection in a democratic society. I genuinely cannot wait to hear the argument that beliefs against human rights are worthy of such protection. But
@Docstockk clearly disagrees that any beliefs are worthy of protection, so popcorn out for the GC wars. -
Lol. I don't think so. The fact that belief in islam or christianity are covered by the Equality Act does not mean that these beliefs (or others) should be the basis for other legislation.
