Gender and Sex
I was going to write a whole big post on this, but then I realised that the fabulous Faith Naff had done a post on her blog about a month ago which covers the issues, although obviously from a the point of view legislatively and regulatory wise of the USA, that being where Faith resides.
Faith uses the term TERF in her post, for those unfamiliar with this term it refers to Trans Exclusionary ' Radical Feminism' , a faction of the increasingly irrelevant 2nd wave of feminism, although their views are often deeply unfeminist and increasingly closely aligned with those of the far and religious right wing and Trumpian conservatism in the US and the the UKIPy type pretending to be respectable far right in the UK
Legislatively, despite the wailing and gnashing over Gender Recognition Act reform, the far more relevant legislation for day to day life as a trans person in the UK is the Equality Act 2010 there is clear Government and EHRC guidance on how the equality act works, despite the illogical and 'free-wibbler on the land' reading some of the trans exclusionists promote
