@ScotNational No, they haven't been left with less rights.
Males never had the right to access female single sex spaces they just thought they were above the law....

Transgender people have been left with 'less rights' following the publication of the UK equalities watchdog’s guidance on single-sex spaces, an advocacy group has said
🗣️ 'We will keep fighting this discriminatory approach'
English
@LordWalney Perhaps campaign for some unisex toilets or for males to be more accepting of gender non conformity?
Because,any concerns you have cannot be at the expense of womens rights to some female single sex spaces,the law is crystal clear on that.
English
Not the side I usually fall on, but am really troubled by implications of this for many trans people who will be at greater risk if they simply switch public bathrooms as currently constituted. I hope there is a way that women’s right to single-sex spaces can be delivered without putting others at greater risk

Single-sex spaces - such as changing rooms and toilets - must be used on the basis of biological sex, new guidance from the equalities watchdog has confirmed. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@LexiTalksComix This is not true.
Males can access mammograms via their GP.
Males don't need a gynaecological care.

The UK banned trans women from breast cancer screenings and gynaecological care yesterday

@RebeccaNP Many politicians understand the law on single sex spaces which has been violated by some in the past.
The Green party will have abide by the law on womens rights to some single sex spaces or campaign to change the law if they feel women should not be allowed their legal rights.
English
The fact that the Green Party is the only one standing with trans people now is so devastating but I'm proud of them for not wavering.
Rachel Millward@rachelmillward
Today my heart is with our trans community, treated so abysmally in this country. Draft guidance means trans people are barred from services they could previously access & inclusive service providers will be at legal risk. Green Party statement: greenparty.org.uk/2026/05/22/sia…

@hehimta Are you arguing that because a male may say they are female we shouldn't have any female single sex spaces?
English
I, as a man, can now enter a woman’s toilets and claim I’m a trans man to any woman who complains, and legally, the venue/staff aren’t allowed to intervene to challenge my gender.
Kind of a major flaw in this new EHRC guidance.

@charliemurphyuk Why do you think womens rights to some female single sex spaces is "Ghastly"?
Why do some female spaces cost lives?
Trans people can exist alongside some female single sex spaces surely?
English
Ghastly. The UK is becoming one of the most hostile countries in Europe towards trans people. That is already costing lives. All trans people ask is to exist in peace.

New: Andy Burnham has backed the EHRC guidance on single-sex spaces and said the Supreme Court ruling on biological sex must be implemented. Burnham told journalists at his campaign launch in Makerfield that his views had changed since previous comments made in 2022, and he said: "I think the time has come to take the Supreme Court ruling and the guidance and implement it. But to do it in a way, obviously, that protects those spaces, but does not marginalise already marginalised communities." He said: "Let's implement the guidance, but to do it in the fairest and most compassionate way possible." "We've got to move into the next phase and not constantly re-running the arguments. I think Britain has done this too much in recent times, you know, with Brexit and other things. We've got to stop arguing with each other."

@MetroUK If you want "gendered spaces" campaign for them.
But,i get it,some males will continue to violate womens boundaries and the law....
English
Trans people have been using gendered spaces for decades – we’re not going to stop now trib.al/AhfDdOJ

@SunseedJess Why are women and girls being allowed some female single sex spaces as is their lawful right "terrifying"?
English
The UK trans "guidance" is terrifying, like I just want to be able to go outside and exist in society without being looked down on like a plague, god forbid
English
@marcouk73 Many males will violate womens boundaries and the law and don't understand NO,means ,no....
We get it.
English
Fuck right off. Trans people will continue to use the toilets they've been using - without affecting anyone, and in all probability, without anyone noticing - for as long as they want. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

@LoganLevkoff Trans people wether male or female can access mammograms in the uk ,why do you think they cant?
What rights do you think trans people have been stripped of?
English
While there are meaningful conversations to have about gender, people with a UK gender recognition certificate, who have gone through hoops to “prove” their gender, deserve to be protected. In addition to stripping trans people of their civil rights and basic dignity, the frenzy of this is sure to create a hostile, dangerous environment for trans people. What is the benefit of preventing trans people from accessing a mammogram? Seriously. Please tell me.

@ThomasWillett9 Lets be real, males accessing the female toilets has been a problem for many women and girls but some still violated women's boundaries and didn't care.
You really hate women having the right to some female spaces don't you Thomas?
No,means no....
English
Let’s be real, trans women using women’s toilets has never caused a problem. The only people who care about this are bored, wealthy bigots looking for the next minority to target, and anonymous Twitter trolls.
This guidance will not improve the rights & safety of cís women.
English
@rich_haddon @BevJacksonAuth I don't think it's a minority who want and need their legal right to some female spaces ....
English
@BevJacksonAuth Bev, history won’t be kind to you. A niche minority with loud voices and some well placed friends in power. That and some good old far right funding from both sides of the pond. How does it feel when tou look around you and your peers are also racists, misogynists and homophobes?

Can’t wait for the day these white cis women realise that their rhetoric is just segregation

'Why should this always mean women being quieter and smaller?' Shelagh Fogarty reacts to Andy Burnham's interview with @lewis_goodall last April, where he said the UK needs a 'new sense of consensus' on the trans debate.
English
@rich_haddon Sex segregation is necessary in order to provide some female single sex spaces ,surely?
Are you suggesting doing away with single sex spaces?
English
@BettsCaro She seems to be saying the law is selfish and if she want to do away with women only spaces she needs to campaign to change the law.
English
I love to take the piss, but sometimes their sheer unmitigated cruelty takes my breath away
Rape crisis offers support to girls from aged 12 (some younger) who have been raped or sexually abused
I was once one of those girls
Imagine calling them “selfish”

@JeremyVineOn5 @mikeparry8 @StormHuntley @alexisconran The law says women can have some female single sex spaces in certain circumstances eg: toilets.
I dont think thats disgusting.
English
@AvaLovelaceX The law in the uk allows for the provision of womens toilets ,the Supreme court clarified that for the purposes of the EA2010 "womens" means female sex.
That the law no one is moving to change it.
Males can pee in the mens toilets or campaign for gender neutral toilets.
English
In a world’s first, The United Kingdom moves to make it illegal for trans women to pee.
Welcome to 2026 where laws discriminating against and segregating minorities are now commonplace again
English
@tifasweetie Use the male bathroom or campaign for a gender neutral option ,what you cant do is use the female bathroom becaue thats a single sex female space.
English
@LBC Thats not what the law says.
The SC court clarified that "womens" means female sex it does not mean male.
He either want to break the law or change it....
English
Andy Burnham said men who identify as women should be able to use female toilets lbc.co.uk/article/andy-b…

@LBC @lewis_goodall The law says women have the right to some female spaces in certain circumstances and that 'womens" means female sex (as clarified by the SC).It does not mean male or gender identity.
Thats what we have to "work from" .
