Trying to id this component. Only markings I can see are "2.0K 630V". It is in a timing light so a capacitor would make sense.

Statement from Féile an Phobail

Féile an Phobail are delighted with today’s outcome at the High Court.

Today’s outcome is a vindication of Féile’s position in standing up for those who are marginalised.

Féile’s decision to withdraw this event from our programme stands.

The agenda of many of those who involved themselves in this issue was clear for all to see.

Many of the very same people line up every year to attack Féile at every turn, to attempt to damage Féile, and to attack the West Belfast community.

They will never succeed.

Féile an Phobail will continue to provide a voice for the marginalised, and we are looking forward to welcoming the world to West Belfast to join with us to celebrate Ireland’s biggest community festival.

Féile Abú!

Pretty much no it seems, An example is that a shopping centre when doing renovations must have gender neutral provisions as a trans women cannot used the toilets that match their gender.
Example
13.123 A service provider operates a shopping centre and decides to renovate the
centre. It initially intends to only provide separate-sex toilets to improve
the safety and comfort of users. This disadvantages trans people because
it means that a trans person cannot access a toilet catered towards their
acquired gender. They also note that this option may cause safety risks and
distress for trans users if required to use the toilets designated for those
of the same biological sex. The service provider therefore decides to also
provide toilets in individual lockable rooms with hand basins, which can be
used by people of either sex.

But they seem to think it is fine to discriminate based on appearance.
13.168 Where, regardless of such communications, there is clear evidence of an
issue with members of the opposite sex accessing or seeking to access the
single or separate-sex service or association in question, it may be legitimate
to ask individuals to provide confirmation that they are of the eligible sex by
proportionate means. Evidence of such concern might include the individual’s
physique or physical appearance, behaviour or concerns raised by other
service users. However, service providers, those performing public functions
and associations must keep in mind that it is not always possible to be sure
of a person’s sex from their appearance. Whether it is legitimate to approach
any particular individual to make enquiries about their sex will be a sensitive
question that will depend on all the circumstances.

And here protected characteristics can be interrogated to exclude trans people
Asking about sex
13.161 Personal data includes information about a person’s sex which may also
be protected under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights
(ECHR). In particular, it is important to be aware that some people, including
some trans or gender non-conforming people, may wish to keep such
information private as far as possible and may find it distressing to be asked
about their sex.
13.162 To comply with Article 8 of the ECHR, a service provider must be able
to objectively justify asking an individual about their sex. A request for
information about sex should only be made where it is a proportionate means
of achieving a legitimate aim. Furthermore, a request for information about
sex which is not a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim could
also amount to unlawful indirect gender reassignment discrimination.
13.163 Examples of legitimate aims include:
y for the purposes of diversity monitoring
y because the information is needed for operational reasons relating to the
services or functions in question
y in relation to lawful single or separate-sex provision under the
Equality Act 2010
For a more detailed explanation of legitimate aim and proportionality, read
paragraphs 5.49 to 5.57.

Very small glimmer of hope
Example
13.151 A trans man attends a gym frequently and uses the women’s changing
room, consistent with his sex. If the gym owner decides that he can no
longer use the women’s changing room and there is no other changing room
he can use, this may be a disproportionate decision. If it is disproportionate,
the gym owner will not be able to rely on the exception for gender
reassignment discrimination (schedule 3, paragraph 28). The trans man will
be able to bring a complaint of direct gender reassignment discrimination,
because he has been treated less favourably than a woman who does not
have the protected characteristic of gender reassignment.
100
Katy Walker 🏳️‍⚧️ @kickstart68.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
So looks like as long as there is a toilet for a trans persons AGAB then no problem forcing them to use it.
13.145 If it is justified to provide a separate or single-sex service, then it will not be
unlawful discrimination because of gender reassignment to prevent, limit
or modify trans people’s access to the service for their own sex, as long as
doing so is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim (schedule 3,
paragraph 28).
13.146 For example, a trans man might be excluded from the women-only service
if the service provider decides that, because he presents as a man, other
service users could reasonably object to his presence, and excluding him is a
proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim.
13.147 A legitimate aim for excluding a trans person from a separate or single-sex
service for their own sex might be to prevent discomfort or distress for other
service users. Service providers should consider whether other service users
could reasonably object because they are worried about sharing a single or
separate-sex service with someone who appears to be of the opposite sex.
That will depend on all the circumstances, including the nature of the service
in question and the extent to which the trans person presents as the opposite
sex. For this reason, a service provider (including a person providing a service
in the exercise of public functions) should only consider doing this on a case-
by-case basis.
13.148 The service provider should consider whether there is a suitable alternative
service for the trans person to use. In the case of services which are
necessary for everybody, such as toilets, it is very unlikely to be proportionate
to put a trans person in a position where there is no service that they are
allowed to use.

Separate or single-sex services – gender reassignment
13.142 If a service provider (including a person providing a service in the exercise of
public functions) is considering providing a separate or single-sex service,
they should consider their approach to trans people’s use of the service.
13.143 The impact of separate or single-sex services on trans people should be
considered when the service provider is deciding whether it is justified to have
a separate or single-sex service. Read paragraphs 13.120 to 13.133 for further
information on this.
13.144 If a service provider (including a person providing a service in the exercise of
public functions) decides to have a separate or single-sex service and allows
trans people to use the service intended for the opposite sex, the service will
no longer be a separate or single-sex service under the Equality Act 2010 (the
Act). It is also very likely to amount to unlawful discrimination against others
(read paragraph 13.131). It is possible to offer a mixed-sex service alongside a
single-sex service. A mixed-sex service must be open to all service users.
100
Katy Walker 🏳️‍⚧️ @kickstart68.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
So why does this not apply to trans women? So why does this not apply to trans women?
Example
13.136 A council swimming pool has separate men’s and women’s changing
rooms. One of the aims of having separate-sex changing rooms is to
safeguard women’s ability to access the facilities and use them safely.
A woman is allowed to take her male child under the age of ten into the
women’s changing room. This does not undermine the aim, because it is
unlikely that young boys pose a threat to women’s safety. It also contributes
towards achieving the aim, because fewer women would be able to use the
swimming pool if they could not bring their children with them81.

13.130 If a service provider (or a person providing a service in the exercise of public
functions) admits trans people to a service intended for the opposite sex, then
it can no longer rely on the exceptions set out at paragraphs 13.99 to 13.111.
This means that if a service is provided only to women and trans women or
only to men and trans men, it is not a separate-sex or single-sex service under
the Equality Act 2010.
13.131 A service like this is very likely to amount to unlawful sex discrimination
against the people of the opposite sex who are not allowed to use it. A service
which is provided to women and trans women could also be unlawful sex
discrimination or lead to unlawful harassment against women who use the
service. Similar considerations would apply to a service provided for men and
trans men. It is possible to offer a mixed-sex service alongside a single-sex
service. A mixed-sex service must be open to all service users.
Example
13.132 A gym makes it clear in its policies that service users must use changing
rooms designated as ‘male’ or ‘female’ in accordance with their sex. The
gym also provides mixed-sex facilities which can be used by any service
users. The gym suggests service users contact them privately if they need
advice on which facilities to use.
A person who identifies as non-binary asks the gym which facilities they
should use. The gym explains their policy on changing rooms and advises
the user that they can use the changing room corresponding to their
biological sex or the mixed-sex facility. The user decides that they would be
more comfortable using the mixed-sex facility as they have had previous
concerns around harassment due to their presentation.
This example would also apply to a person who idenitifies as gender-fluid.

Example
13.123 A service provider operates a shopping centre and decides to renovate the
centre. It initially intends to only provide separate-sex toilets to improve
the safety and comfort of users. This disadvantages trans people because
it means that a trans person cannot access a toilet catered towards their
acquired gender. They also note that this option may cause safety risks and
distress for trans users if required to use the toilets designated for those
of the same biological sex. The service provider therefore decides to also
provide toilets in individual lockable rooms with hand basins, which can be
used by people of either sex.

13.119 The impact on those who will be excluded from the service includes both the
impact on people of the opposite sex generally and the particular impact on
trans people of the opposite sex. In separate or single-sex services, a trans
man will be excluded from the men-only service because his sex is female,
and a trans woman will be excluded from the women-only service because
her sex is male. Trans people are likely to be disadvantaged by this, by
comparison to people who are not trans.
13.120 The service provider (or person providing a service in the exercise of public
functions) should consider whether the disadvantage to trans people, and any
other people who may be disadvantaged, outweighs the benefits of achieving
the legitimate aim. They should also consider whether there is a less intrusive
option than excluding trans people which would be proportionate (read
paragraphs 13.137 to 13.141).
13.121 Having carried out this balancing exercise, the service provider (including a
person providing a service in the exercise of public functions) may conclude
that arrangements or adaptions can be made to meet the needs of all service
users, or that it remains proportionate to maintain only a separate or single-
sex service.
13.122 In many cases, it will be proportionate to take a holistic approach to service
provision by providing a mix of services which may include both separate
or single-sex services and mixed-sex services. The mix of services in terms
of the size of the separate or single-sex services and of the mixed-sex
services should reflect the needs and relative numbers of service users with
different needs.

Example
13.81 A boxing gym runs a boxing competition for women. A trans man who
has undergone treatment with testosterone wishes to compete. The gym
declines his request because they are concerned that the treatment has had
the effect of increasing his muscle mass and strength. This is likely to be
lawful if the gym can demonstrate that there would be a genuine health and
safety risk and / or impact on fair competition if the trans man were allowed
to join the competition.

Katy Walker 🏳️‍⚧️ @kickstart68.bsky.social · 21/05/2026
Example
13.74 An athletics club chooses to organise a competitive running event that
includes women and trans women. Running is a gender-affected activity.
A woman who participates may be able to bring a claim for indirect sex
discrimination due to the provider’s decision to include trans women placing
her at a particular disadvantage. Men who are excluded from the event
may also be able to bring a claim for direct discrimination based on their
exclusion. This is because the exception for sex discrimination in section
195, paragraph 1 may not apply if the club chooses to include trans women
and exclude men.

Associations may restrict membership to
persons who share a protected characteristic
12.66 The Act permits associations of any size or character, other than political
parties, to restrict their membership to persons who share a protected
characteristic (schedule 16). The only exception is that membership can never
be restricted based on colour (schedule 16, paragraph 1(4)).
Example
12.67 The constitution of an association called the Black Jazz Players Club
states that all members must have national origins in Africa or the
Caribbean. Despite the use of ‘Black’ in its name, because the restrictions on
membership of the association are based on national origins and not colour,
these restrictions would not be unlawful.
Example
12.68 A trans woman applies to join a women-only association and her application
is refused. This would be lawful because membership is based on sex and
restricted to women and, under the Act, she does not share that protected
characteristic (paragraphs 2.87 to 2.89).

Private Eye cutting about Minority Representation on TV, saying:-

There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP SaraPochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television.
Said one angy view, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Lauro Kuemssberg."
She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs complise only 0.7% of the House Of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce".
"I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. There are too many people with angry red faces on television"
