      Last week the Women & Equalities Select Committee agreed with what @fairplaywomen & @Womans_Place_UK and 1000s of women have been saying : we need clear guidance on what @2010Equality says about single sex services and @EHRC should provide ithttps://fairplayforwomen.com/single-sex/

      The Women & Equalities Select Committee might also recognise that it's a nonsense to regard anyone's claimed gender as anything other than a form of self-expression and that it's no more incumbent on us to accept they've changed sex than that the moon's made of cheese.

      Nope. Unless you want to leave the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights, the civil status of sex must be changeable, though self-ID is not a requirement. https://echr.coe.int/Documents/FS_Gender_identity_ENG.pdf …

      I do agree the guidance should be made clearer and easier to find. I found the guidance that says M&S etc were right abut trans inclusion in cubicled changing rooms, but when the misguided protests happened nobody found it. https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/sites/default/files/servicescode_0.pdf … p 198

      I would hope that the guidance issued is restrictive, and clearly says that a "single sex" service is trans inclusive unless there is explicit notice posted that it is trans exclusive, which is acceptable in very limited circumstances.

      Replying to @ramendik @Flashmaggie and

      Given that being trans (i.e. having the protected characteristic of gender reassignment) is v. wide criteria, this in practice means the service is mixed sex. So then it should be labelled mixed sex (which with floor-to-ceiling cubicles, as you say, is fine)

          The point is there should be clear expectations for all - women should be able to be told clearly if a changing room, toilet, dorm, showers whatever is single sex or mixed.

          Do you understand this? Visually, auditorily there is no way to distinguish between a male person with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment and one without (and it would be rude to try).
