    That’s the neat part: trans men are banned from both restrooms!

    Moreover, women living in the male gender could also be excluded under paragraph 28 without this amounting to gender reassignment discrimination. This might be considered proportionate where reasonable objection is taken to their presence, for example, because the gender reassignment process has given them a masculine appearance or attributes to which reasonable objection might be taken in the context of the women-only service being provided. Their exclusion would amount to unlawful gender reassignment discrimination not sex discrimination absent this exception.

    I guess they can piss outside or something???

      Or rather organisions are now allowed to ban trans men from both bathrooms. The Equality Act is a badly written and conceived law in many places that labour could fix any time they want (but won’t).

      I know it’s bullshit to expect the most vulnerable to do the heavy lifting when it comes to opposing existing power structures…

      But that’s exactly what I’d be doing.

      Anytime I had to piss I’d walk over to my most bigoted coworker and start pissing on their desk. Sorry, just following the law. I’m not allowed in either bathroom and tou have to let me relieve myself at work. Might be time to start considering whether these laws make any sense.

            Didn’t you say in this thread that you “don’t have to care because it’s all bullshit”?

            Why don’t you fuck off and stop caring instead of telling trans people what they should be doing?

              No i said literally the opposite and said it’s bullshit to expect trans people to single handedly stand up to this shit without support.

              I didn’t mean to say that’s what I would do if I was them I was fucking around.

              I guess I should have started the comment with “bit idea” instead of saying “what I would do is”

              My bad, I was just trying to make light of a shitty situation.
