Exactly!
Really looking forward to this!
We're delighted to announce our fringe event @Lib Dem Conference. Nearly 1yr post the Supreme Court judgment confirming 'woman' in the Equality Act is based on biological sex, come and hear from people involved in the case and ask your questions.

How many surveyed were ex-members (not many) and by removal of those results do any of the results materially change? (No) How many in the party are over 65? Do you know? Do you think perhaps you gov have polled to give a representative sample of members? Perhaps they know what they’re doing…
Last week, to mark National Tree Week, Somerset Council Green Estates staff and over 150 community members – including volunteers from RNAS Yeovilton and Friends of Ham Hill – came together to plant 3,000 native trees over 3 hectares at Pit Wood.
It was a privilege to join them on Saturday morning!
We then released the rest of the data (post Supreme Court judgment) and produced this leaflet which discusses single-sex spaces and sports. This was a survey of around 600 members in the Party by YouGov.
OK so the data you have is for the following leaflet that we produced for Spring conference: static1.squarespace.com/static/5fac5...
You’re right these are only some of the results to go with Spring conference. I can send you rest shortly
Women having dignity, privacy and safety is not nonsense in my opinion. I appreciate you want to leave the conversation but since you asked about Lib Dem views, members were asked their views about single-sex spaces, sports etc and majority agreed should be female only. yougov.co.uk/(popup:searc...
They had no need to define it. Already well established in case law e.g. Corbett vs Corbett
Trans men are female. Why’ve you said so-called and put women’s spaces in scare quotes? In a rape crisis counselling session for example a trans man who has deep voice and some resemblance to a man may trigger survivors of male violence so may need separate service e.g. 1 to 1. All can be worked out
If a space is supposed to be for females and trans women are admitted then it is mixed sex since trans women are biological males. The Supreme Court ruling was very clear that certificated sex could not be used to get into the opposite biological sex’s space.
And providing privacy, dignity and safety to females when they’re getting undressed or otherwise vulnerable (eg sleeping on a hospital ward, receiving intimate care) is a legitimate aim clearly. There is no reason such spaces should be mixed sex when it’s detrimental to females.
Well as peer reviewed literature states “People are remarkably accurate (approaching ceiling) at deciding whether faces are male or female” In evolutionary terms one can imagine knowing the sex of another human was important to the survival of our species.
So is the only issue you have in terms of women having single-sex spaces that some venues may not have money/space for gender neutral toilets? Do you agree in principle to women having single-sex spaces and services e.g. rape crisis?
It sounds like you agree women should be able to access single-sex spaces and services sometimes (depending on the exact space). Mostly I find when people go through all the examples toilets become the only thorny issue. If that’s the case an accessible gender neutral toilet is an option.
Oh not ‘shame and on you’. Crikey. Blue sky is funny. Do you have a citation? “People are remarkably accurate (approaching ceiling) at deciding whether faces are male or female” for example journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...
Balance of rights. How do you know how many women have been self-excluding from services because they are not single-sex? From women with certain religious beliefs, to survivors of sexual abuse for example. Meet Sarah - a female rape victim. www.crowdjustice.com/case/help-sa...
And yet there do seem to be an awful lot of legal cases coming that would seem to disagree with that. Sandie Peggie? Darlington nurses? (To name a couple). And obviously those are ones that get to court. Many more don’t get that far
I am not the one making claims at this moment. It’s your claim to prove.
So no evidence you can point to beyond your own experience. How do you know what other people think when they see a trans woman?
Ok. Name calling? Being accused of being responsible for a child’s murder? That will be a block then.
Evidence? Particularly for ‘most’
That question says a lot about you. Do you not see you are using a child’s tragic murder. Does it not strike you as ghoulish to do so? As wrong?
