Going through the EHRC consultation on guidance following the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman. They just want to exclude trans people from public life. They aren’t even hiding it. Not for one service because of sex assigned at birth, not for the other because of presentation.

To kill a French vampire you need to drive a baguette through its heart. Sounds easy but the process is painstaking.
