It had nothing to do with councils. The case was about the Equality Act which covers any space or service organised on the basis of sex. That includes toilets. Get the basics right.

Frankly, we think her "feminism" was undermined when she refused to say that a double rapist was a man. But then we aren't all about superficial posing.
