Trans women banned from using women’s toilets in parliament

Trans women visiting parliament will be prohibited from using women’s toilets under new guidance, Independent can reveal.

So far, property visitors can use the most appropriate toilets for their gender, but they advise them to use toilets on the basis of new guidance, biological gender or gender-independent facilities.

Last week, while attending a meeting in Parliament, lawyer Robin Moira White, a transgender woman, comes after the complaints of gender critical campaigns for using women’s facilities.

The Equality Act said that the words “women” and “sex ındaki in 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological gender, following the decision of the Supreme Court, the Equality and Human Rights Commission issued a draft guidance on a series of issues, including the use of the trans people, the participation of the trans people and the use of toilets.

Previously, it was understood that he expected EHRC’s full guidance to be published before he updated Commons’ policies. However, the same rule was already brought to the Scottish Parliament.

It is understood that there is no change in politics for the personnel working on the property, that is, it is understood that trans women employed by Parliament can use female loos.

Parliamentary personnel were given new guidance on how to direct visitors to the toilets, Independent understands. If a person asks where the nearest toilet is, a Commons spokesman told the staff that he would “be told to sign visitors to all existing toilets”.

Last week, Times He reported that Commons apologized to the LGB alliance after the LGB alliance, after using women’s loos to raise complaints about Mrs. White. Barister comes at that time, although he uses a bathroom using a bathroom that is suitable for the guidance of parliament.

On Monday, only days after the emergence of the queue, Commons added a new substance to guidance and tells a spokesman Independent: “Visitors are subject to the provision of the service elements of the Equality Law. The Supreme Court Decision is valid for the provision of toilet facilities for these visitors, since the Equality Law is directly related to the interpretation of 2010.

“Visitors should therefore use toilet facilities corresponding to their biological sex or use one of the existing gender independent or accessible facilities”.

While talking Independent Last week, Ms. White asked: “Is this what we really want to have the status of the law? A person who has reached parliament for decades cannot use gender facilities. What does this harm?”

The lawyer, who is currently interested in formulating his guidance with EHRC, says that the body is not a clear plan for how it will work ”.

“They cannot reconcile the decision of the Supreme Court by our duties within the scope of the Human Rights Convention.”

Responding to the updated parliamentary guidance, Steph Richards said Richards with radius Richards said: “There are transient women outside, now we will have to use male loos in parliament. We see this as a violation of human rights.

“Trans people are going through the most difficult journey to start, and now being thrown at them is terrible. This knee tremor response will cause distress and worry for trans people visiting parliament.”

In the meantime, the liberal democratic deputy Christine Jardine said: “I respect the fact that parliamentary officials should comply with the guidance, but now I feel for everyone who will feel unpleasant visitors in our parliament and the center of their democracy.”

“Restaurants, cafes, cafes and upstairs and down visitor attraction centers are now facing similar dilemmas trying to appeal to their customers, and this emphasizes how important EHRC is to find a net, applicable guidance that protects everyone’s rights and privacy,” he added.

Only a few days after explaining how “fearful” trans people have been “fearful” trans people since the transfers, some of them may have to leave their jobs after guidance, and others have developed UTIs (urinary tract infections) since they announced how “fearful people have been.

EHRC General Manager John Kirkpatrick said that the organizer provides some appropriate guidance on how to ask respectful questions in the workplace or services ”.

EHRC Guidance Counseling Time lasts until June 30th. The last guidance is expected to be presented to the Minister of Women and Equality Bridget Phillipson in July.
