The person concerned got a very stern talking to from a security bloke and looked very huffy and teenagery throughout.

And then asked a question during the Q&A? Or was that someone else?

Yeah that was me, it was when you suggested separate but equal provision of services for trans people but hey, I'm the threatening one :)

That is a complete misrepresentation. It is on video that I said we should be fighting for better services to meet the needs of everyone. I'm pleased you felt able to attend, remain after you tried to set off a stink bomb, & ask questions. Dialogue is crucial to find solutions

https://youtu.be/IjHn1Bj5It8 1 hour 15 minutes in, by the way, "some sex segregated some gender segregated" i.e some rape crisis services where trans women are welcome and some where trans women aren't allowed. (Sounds like separate but equal there prof)

The language of "separate but equal" relates to race (from US Jim Crow era). The UK Equality Act is clear that racial segregation is always discriminatory. It allows separate services based on age and sex where justified. So no, in those cases it is not like "separate but equal"pic.twitter.com/C42Q6dUTbs

How many times do I have to say it, appeals to current law don't mean anything. Separate but equal was legal too
