Hardly a new take here, but i absolutely hate the way that chronic health conditions and disabilities are talked about by institutions "Well yes it makes their lives hellish, but wont somebody think of the employers" is not the progressive, positive take you think it is

I expected nothing and am still let down my MP is about as much use as a chocolate fireguard at the best of times, but this is especially disappointing
an Email from Lucy Rigby MP that reads thus: Dear Ms,

Thank you for contacting me about the recent Supreme Court ruling concerning the definition of sex in the Equality Act.  
 
On 16 April, the Court ruled that sex in the Equality Act means biological sex, meaning a person will be considered as their biological sex for the purposes of the Act, whether they have a Gender Recognition Certificate or not. The Court emphasised that trans people are, and continue to be, protected from harassment on the grounds of gender reassignment, as well as harassment as it applies to perceived sex.  
 
On 2 April, the Women and Equalities Minister made a statement in the House of Commons on the Supreme Court judgment in the case of For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers. 
 
The Minister welcomed the judgment for bringing clarity and confidence for women and service providers. She emphasised that single-sex spaces must be protected, and that clear guidance must be available across a range of settings, from healthcare and prisons to sport and single-sex support groups. 

The Minister noted that trans people retain clear protections in law and should be able to live their lives free of harassment and discrimination. Single-sex spaces should not come at the expense of treating trans people with respect. 
 
Following the ruling, the Equality and Human Rights Commission is now revising its code of practice, which will then go through governmental review. I appreciate many involved, and many who care deeply about this issue, will want clarification as soon as possible, but also that as this is a complex area, this must be a thorough process. The Minister provided reassurance that the guidance will ensure appropriate provision, with dignity and respect for all. She noted this guidance will include the use of toilet facilities, so that no one, including trans people, should feel unsafe when they use public toilets. 
 
I echo the words of the Minister: this case is not about the tri…
