gender-recognition certificate?
🤦
who certifies your gender? the same people that looked at Caster Semenyas genital area?
Is it done infront of a panel of medical professionals, like some kinky reenactment of the Sharon Stone Basic Instinct interogation scene?
_OK now, please spread them… Yeees, thats right, take your time… OK, thats it, hold, hoooold, please… What do you say, Bob? I’m not sure, Steve… Mary, any opinions? Well, boys, if thats what your’re supposed to be looking for in a woman, I’m out._

What are women only jobs. Does this hold for men only jobs too? Is there any?
How can there be women only jobs? That’s clearly discrimination.
“Women only jobs exclude men” well no shit
Great having a transphobe as PM…
A yes, equality.
I think mammographers in the UK can only be women, but correct me if that has now changed. That is to do with a high % of women saying they wouldn’t attend screening with a male mammographer. I don’t know if trans women are allowed to do the role. It is for the screening part only. Patients can be seen by any gender clinician for subsequent treatments. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1078817423001761
On a serious note, I think the author meant “jobs that are expected to be carried out by women”. A decent example would be those places where you go to shave your pubes, and you wouldn’t want a guy to be doing that.
I apologize but that’s the best example I could come up with. Still a pretty shitty article.
TERF island things
Could people just stop being dicks to each other for five frikkin’ minutes? Please?
‘Equality’ in nut shell. I am always wondering how they are using the words for exactly opposite things
We really need that comet to finally wipe us all. Return to bacteria.
So you can be a woman, but you can’t be a female? What kind of medieval timeline are we living on?
There is so much to unpack in that one sentence lmao
Both the Bible and nature itself clearly teach us that humans cannot be dogs.
I am losing my faith in y’all with your comments. Let the far right rise and go backwards a hundred more years, you deserve it! Go Europe!
I mean, makes sense, since the whole promise of women-only jobs is discriminatory.
Duuh, it is like a common sense?
I didn’t know there were women only jobs
Predatory men and their handmaidens when women say they just want tiny, non intrusive, necessary space for themselves: hmm. How can I get through this
The headline is strongly editorialized.
The article clearly says:
>The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) said that if an employer wanted to advertise for a woman-only job, that must only mean biological women or those who have received a gender-recognition certificate.
So, trans women are included. Just not people who self-diagnosed as trans women. But that’s normal, people can’t self-diagnose medical conditions for the legal benefits.
Well, if something is [something]-only, it’s discriminatory by definition, so what’s the surprise?

Fair enough

How would they know if in the ID says “female”?
Why is an “equality watchdog” excluding genders?
