WND EXCLUSIVE

A new study from a group called Women and Girls in Scotland found that lawmakers and regulators are ignoring the fact that Scotland’s “equality” legislation is supposed to protect the rights of individuals in single-sex spaces.  The results conflict with policies in the U.K. and the United States that allow men who identify as women to use facilities restricted to women.

The U.S. Supreme Court this week declined to review a case brought by high schools students against a school that allows access to showers and rest rooms according to gender identity.........Consequently, women and girls are at risk in prisons, schools and places of refuge, the report says.......one health club chain has been sued multiple times for allowing biological men into the women’s shower rooms and failing to warn the women.

“Any approach that says that the human rights of women and girls to privacy, dignity and safety should not be met in order to allow another group to access their provisions is not, therefore, a human rights approach, and instead represents a kind of hierarchy, where the one group is prioritized over another” .............“Supporting trans rights and equality is all too often characterized as supporting that trans people should always be treated as the sex they identify as. But this is quite simply not a human right, and nor is this a right trans people have under the Equality Act 2010 … precisely because this would infringe the rights of others.”.............The “self-identification” policies clearly are not the best practice, the study finds, because “there is already good evidence that such policies can adversely impact women and girls.”............Read more
