        List some examples. Very few countries have equal right for trans people enshrined in law. Certainly not in the US or the UK.

            Didn’t hear about the recent Supreme Court ruling on trans women in the UK, huh? The others countries you mentioned might be fine for all I know, but I guarantee you that the vast majority of the world does not live in countries with trans rights enshrined in law.

            Even in Canada and America it’s illegal to discriminate based on identity. It’s mostly 2nd and 3rd world countries that don’t have much for protections. Excluding the UK of course, they’re being weird about it.

                sex spaces are based upon biological sex not gender identity

                that’s… discrimination based on gender…

                how did you not connect the dots that discriminating based on biological sex is DIRECTLY discriminating transgender people??

                  Gender and sex are two different things.

                  Gender is identity.

                  Sex is biological.

                  In medicine, you’re given medication based on your sex characteristics, such as your chromosomes. This means that even if you identify as whatever gender you want, some medications may be dependent on your chromosomes.

                • Well it seems the court has ruled that sex (xx, xy) and gender (male, female) are separate things. One is what ur born as one is what u identify with (u can still get a special government card proving u identity however u wish).

                  Spaces for a specific sex can be defined same a spaces for a specific gender can be defined. This ruling doesn’t seem to restrict you from opening a female only gym if u wanna.

                  Any space for any specific group is going to be on some level decriminatory. Eg male only golf clubs, that club of little old women baking cakes for charity (I can’t remember what they call themselves), women only gyms, etc etc etc.

                  Plus the anti decriminalisation laws of the UK and au for that matter are actually quite narrowly defined mainly for the purposes of government run services, employment equality, etc.

                  Well its not discrimination since the same rights are granted to both sexes equally (yes I’m ignoring intersex its a statistically irrelevant argument).
