Gender-critical misinformation and workplace toilets. I have been asked about misinformation on gender-critical social media which has been suggesting that the 1992 Workplace (Health and Safety) Regulations REQUIRE the provision of (biologically) female only (and male only) toilets in workplaces.

Perhaps we ought to take a moment to reflect on how many white male cishet privately educated non disabled men have been given jobs and promoted without question based on fabricated CVs, unfounded self-confidence and an embellished life story & whether we’ve even heard of them.

The Trans+ community is under attack from false narratives in the media, politics and increasingly the courts. The evidence tells a different story - stretching back to Roman Britain.

Gender diversity in the UK can be traced back to Roman Britain, archaeology shows

The Gallae were a group of transgender priestesses in ancient Rome devoted to the goddess Kybele. Archaeology suggests they lived in Britain in 70 CE

I think a journalist outside the BBC should ask for an interview with the BBC and with Ana Gonzales on this. Going through each segment in the programme, stopping, then asking both Ana Gonzales and the BBC to comment. Maybe a programme about how journalism shapes - or miss-shapes voter opinions.

It has been annoying me that I couldn’t find the source of this legislation which doesn’t even seem to be in Megarry & Wade, so I have carried out a better search. The answer is s.75(1) Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011 which, despite the jargon-tastic title includes this provision.

75Power to impose and enforce covenants

(1)Without prejudice to any restriction or requirement in a pastoral (church buildings disposal) scheme or a pastoral church buildings scheme to which section 58 or 59 applies, the Commissioners or the diocesan board of finance may, in exercising their powers under this Part to sell, give, exchange or let or, as the case may be, to let or license, any building or land, include in the conveyance, lease or other instrument such covenants imposing conditions and requirements as to the use of the building or land concerned as the Commissioners or board think necessary or expedient to give effect to the provisions of the scheme or otherwise to secure the suitable use of the building or land; and, in a case where the land is sold, given or exchanged, any such covenants shall be enforceable as if the Commissioners or board were the owners of adjacent land and the covenants were expressed to be entered into for the benefit of that adjacent land, and in the case of covenants of a positive character as if they were negative.
