@Knobbyman186880 No it’s not. It is recognising the terms are used widely in different circumstances.

@DrMikeHill No it doesn't, these are either your beliefs or not, you are being evasive because you know what supporting queer/gender theory entails. You can say yes or no, anything else is you being disingenuous.

It is disappointing that @TracyEdwardsMBE immediately answer to being reasonable challenged when she is calling for the oppression of free speech from someone because they are trans is to block the person who tweeted when I think was a reasonable reply. Feel free to unblock and

@DrMikeHill @Kathryn34326890 @annetteholliday @jo_kelllo @Posi61 @Janet4369587977 @akuareindorf @Broonjunior @FondOfBeetles @TisDeanoPVFC @michaelpforan You're not arguing for equality, you just said women who want to preserve their rights shouldn't be prioritised in female spaces.

The hyperbolic language of "policing toilets" is used to sow confusion and panic. Services should have rules and enforce them, as they do for things like health & safety rules. Let's get away from semantic nonsense about "policing" and "enforcing". Just follow the law.

@Criosdubhskye @Broonjunior @FondOfBeetles @Janet4369587977 @TisDeanoPVFC @akuareindorf Apologies, that was an error.

@DrMikeHill @Broonjunior @FondOfBeetles @Janet4369587977 @TisDeanoPVFC @akuareindorf You can’t even spell Peggie’s name right

@Samenergy2 Those that want them should be able to yes. Those who want inclusive service should have access to those too in my opinion.

@DrMikeHill So women can have spaces and services away from all men, regardless of how the man might dress, his grooming choices, cosmetics, ingestion of cross-sex hormones or 'feminising' surgical alterations to his body?

Anti-trans campaigner is concerned that Parliament may alter the law. She is afraid of democracy it seams.

@Samenergy2 I think we should work as a society to ensure everyone has equality, including the ability to have privacy and dignity.

@DrMikeHill What are your views on women's rights to single sex spaces and services?

@akuareindorf @tirersurlacorde @SebastianPott10 With respect, I think you are being disingenuous here. I’m happy to use whatever pronoun you would prefer. You haven’t told me, nor is it in your profile, before that tweet.

@DrMikeHill @tirersurlacorde @SebastianPott10 I have just politely told you that I do not use they/them pronouns. Are you not supposed to apologise for incidents of misgendering?

The legal situation is considered by the courts on the circumstances of the case. I’m really sorry, but I’m going to be pretty busy today so please excuse any slow response.

@DrMikeHill @much_wittering @helensaxby11 @annetteholliday @Posi61 @Janet4369587977 @akuareindorf @Broonjunior @FondOfBeetles @TisDeanoPVFC @michaelpforan Yes but case by case doesn’t mean that.

@Kathryn34326890 @much_wittering @helensaxby11 @annetteholliday @Posi61 @Janet4369587977 @akuareindorf @Broonjunior @FondOfBeetles @TisDeanoPVFC @michaelpforan I think you misunderstand what I mean by case by case. For eg 2 bars next to each other, the bars could have the same policy, but the courts would consider all factors. For example the physical footprint of the bar etc. which would change what is proportional. Hence case by case.

@DrMikeHill @much_wittering @helensaxby11 @annetteholliday @Posi61 @Janet4369587977 @akuareindorf @Broonjunior @FondOfBeetles @TisDeanoPVFC @michaelpforan Ok I’m back! Good morning Mike. I have a question, if you were to implement a case by case for some trans people, how could you do that without discriminating against others trans people? What criteria would make it possible?

@akuareindorf @tirersurlacorde @SebastianPott10 1. Thanks for confirming. 2. They can be used by singularly and pleural. In my message it was the former.

@DrMikeHill @tirersurlacorde @SebastianPott10 OK I'll bite. (1) Quite obviously, I reviewed & had responsibility for the Code along with other Board members. I'd have thought that goes without saying. (2) Though I'm flattered to be referred to in the plural, there's no need for it. I am merely one person.

Discrimination is prohibited based on PCs exempt when there is an exemption. There is a generic exemption when both proportionate and a legitimate aim that makes indirect discrimination legal. A claim would need to be brought by an

The general principle is that you can't discriminate, but there are single sex exemptions to that if proportionate. If you're saying your service is for women and transwomen, then that's not single sex, and the exemption doesn't apply.

@helensaxby11 @Kathryn34326890 @annetteholliday @Posi61 @Janet4369587977 @akuareindorf @Broonjunior @FondOfBeetles @TisDeanoPVFC @michaelpforan You don’t need a specific gender exemption to apply the general exemption.

@DrMikeHill @Kathryn34326890 @annetteholliday @Posi61 @Janet4369587977 @akuareindorf @Broonjunior @FondOfBeetles @TisDeanoPVFC @michaelpforan There are sex-based exceptions which mean you can lawfully discriminate on the basis of sex when legitimate & proportionate. No such exception exists for 'gender'. Within existing law your idea is not possible.

@Knobbyman186880 Depends on the circumstances when those terms are being used.

@DrMikeHill Hello Dr Mike Hill, I wonder if you could answer a couple of questions for me? 1/ As you obviously believe in gender theory do you also believe that "man" "woman" and "child" are social constructs?

@OfPeckham @forevershallon @TisDeanoPVFC @akuareindorf They more likely were using the statutory code of practice.

@DrMikeHill @forevershallon @TisDeanoPVFC @akuareindorf What guidance did they ask for when they made such poor decisions a few years ago without data/research? Decisions that women weren't asked about. Was it Stonewall guidance that they used? Why did these poor confused empoyers believe a charity then, but can't obey the law now?

@DrMikeHill @Kathryn34326890 @annetteholliday @jo_kelllo @Posi61 @Janet4369587977 @akuareindorf @Broonjunior @FondOfBeetles @TisDeanoPVFC @michaelpforan Agree to disagree, but you will be challenged by senior -colleagues throughout your career, and you cannot block them in real terms, as it is detrimental to your patients. I hope you have learned from this experience.
