When some are more equal than others
The exemption under gender in our equality legislation was clearly provided to protect women and girls. If men claiming to have a female "gender identity" are now to be included, what protection for single-sex facilities will there be in future for women and girls?
Thread from June 3rd 2021
"A review of the Equality legislation is planned to begin in 2021, this will incorporate consideration of the gender ground..." What implications does this have for women and girls?
A commitment was given in the Programme for Government in 2020 to add "gender identity" to our equality legislation.

As a result of the capture of our legislature and agencies by gender identity ideology males with a female "gender identity" may be permitted to access women and girls hitherto single-sex facilities, such as toilets, claiming "discrimination" if not allowed to.
The statement today by @rodericogorman @LeoVaradkar @dcediy does nothing to reassure women and girls that our rights to single-sex facilities as protected by the exemption under "gender" in our equality legislation will be maintained, where it is defined as male and female.
