      Maya Forstater Retweeted Equality Act 2010

      YHA's transgender policy is an example of an org getting the Equality Act horribly wrong. Women and girls should not have to disclose details of abuse to earn the right not to wake up in the night to find a male stranger undressing in the room with them.https://twitter.com/2010Equality/status/1160856954727800833 …

      Maya Forstater added,

      Equality Act 2010 @2010Equality
      The @YHAOfficial transgender policy is an example of how orgs are getting the Equality Act so wrong (because the guidance from @ehrc is inconsistent with the Act) and adopting unworkable and inhumane policies which make them *less* inclusive https://www.yha.org.uk/sites/default/files/uploads/Policies/Transgender%20Guest%20Equality%20Policy%20V2%20(OLV).pdf … pic.twitter.com/o8vKlBA4XZ

      Maya - absolutely nowhere in that policy does it say that people have to disclose "the details" of abuse to "earn" any rights, and It really is quite irresponsible of you to spread this kind of nonsense.

      There seems to be a bit of confusion here. As I read it YHA are restricting transgender as below, not self ID. But on the request for exemptions this surely requires some form of personal disclosure?pic.twitter.com/YIDs5FLxrj

      Indeed Maya's characterization of all transgender people as 'men' is another part of her tweet which is both wrong and offensive.

      George. you've called me 'irresponsible', 'spreading nonsense', 'wrong' & 'offensive'. But you haven't made any substantive points. Are you just going to call me names? (and by the way my tweet did not say "all transgender people are 'men'" I talked about males in women's dorms)

          How unlike men to dismiss women talking about an issue material to women, factually, & claim ‘its offensive’ to utter facts relevant. 🙄Transwomen are Male, single sex exceptions in EA2010 allow for males, even w/the legal fiction of a GRC, to be excluded from female only spaces.
