      I find this extremely worrying. We have been largely spared US-style ‘culture wars’, where primarily ethical issues are bound up with political allegiances. Make no mistake: linking an important human rights issue to tribal loyalty will make it intractable https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/boris-johnsons-luck-might-be-about-to-run-out-xwg9plxv3 …pic.twitter.com/yHg573CBUo

      I have experienced this first hand with the Labour antisemitism issue. Binding a human rights issue to tribal political allegiance distorts the issue and causes people to lose their sense of right and wrong, as their factional loyalty blinds them to the underlying principles

      The ‘trans rights vs women’s rights’ issue (a dichotomy which I believe is false, as these are not diametrically opposed, though they can require balancing in certain situations) is already fiercely contested. Adding political allegiance into the mix will help no one

      How are they ‘balanced’ when eg self-identifying ‘women’ who are physiologically male are admitted to women’s single sex spaces such as the swimming pond in Highgate, or women’s sports teams?

      I tweeted a bit about this earlier in the year, and I think we discussed it. It’s difficult, but the Equality Act and human rights act are designed to help find a proportionate route throughhttps://twitter.com/AdamWagner1/status/1131851534097100801?s=20 …

      We did discuss it and my conclusion was that the proportionate route was a chimera which resulted in women losing something that was of value to them, but I doubt we will agree on this

      Exclusion of transwomen from women’s spaces has to be objectively justified and can be challenged. For true balance inclusion of transwomen into women’s spaces has to be objectively justified but where the transwoman has a GRC, women cannot enforce their rights to balance.

      Isn't it that provision of single/seperate sex services have to be objectively justified? Not exclusion of any particular individual male person.

          I believe it is, a GRC is not a magic top trumps card that overrides women's rights. There is no hierarchy of protected characteristics & sometimes exclusion is necessary. The needs of the many sometimes outweigh the needs of the few.

          Slightly different set of circumstances. If an inclusion policy is applied to both sexes but it disproportionately negatively impacts females in comparison to males then it’s indirect discrimination (1/2)
