A Petition to Sign on International Women’s Day
by Maya Forstater, Daily Sceptic:
Stop Trans Rights Activists Taking Advantage of Ambiguous Wording in the Equality Act.
I am coming to the end of my legal battle on belief discrimination with my former employer, after losing my job for saying that men cannot be women. Through the course of the four-year case I won protection for everyone in the UK to be able to say that sex is real, binary and immutable, without losing their job. My legal precedent has played a large role in breaking the stranglehold of “no debate” on sex and gender – a good thing to celebrate on International Women’s Day.
But I don’t want to stop there. I think it is time we sort out the clash between sex and gender identity in law.
At the end of last year I started a petition asking the government to clarify that sex means sex in the Equality Act. It has already collected 85,000 signatures, and needs just 15,000 more to trigger a parliamentary debate. If you care about free speech, evidence-based policy-making and sex-based rights, go to www.sex-mattters.org/petition for more information and to sign.
The Equality Act is important because it sets the rules which allow single-sex services (including both specialist and everyday services), schools, associations, charities and sports.
