Taken from Eventbrite's Community Guidelines It feels like "repeal the GRA" and making a "ladies" event trans exclusionary might be breaching their Hate Speech guidelines.. Worth reporting
Hate Speech
We consider hate speech to be disparagement of, discrimination against, or other direct attacks on a person or group of people based on a set of protected characteristics. We also consider hate speech to include incitement, promotion, or condoning of hatred or discrimination against a person or group of people based on the same set of protected characteristics. Those protected characteristics are race, sex, ethnicity, religion, national origin, immigration status, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or veteran status.Our prohibition on Hate Speech includes but is not limited to the following examples in relation to protected characteristics of a group or its members:

Conversion practices are still happening in 2026 because of a series of legal loopholes that allow perpetrators to escape justice. Existing pieces of legislation that cover domestic violence, coercive control and communications offences do not adequately address the unique nature of abusive conversion practices, leaving a gap in the law that can be exploited. In addition, the lack of a legal definition of abusive conversion practices makes it challenging for police and prosecutors to act. The only way to tackle these problems is through this legislation.

You're asking about the details of an article by The Onion... Just.. Just listen to yourself a sec and try to realize how stupid you sound. Wikipedia is free at the point of use you know?
A transgender (often shortened to trans) person has a gender identity different from that typically associated with the sex they were assigned at birth.

So by digging history up. You've got bones that have been sexed female, buried with artefacts usually linked to male socialization. With evidence dating as far back as the copper age. What do you know? You can have evidence of something before we have contemporaneous accounts of it. 🤡
Studies that support interpretations of gender fluidity include ones on pre-Columbian Maya burial practices,[10] multiple Hidatsa genders during the pre-Columbian era,[20] mortuary practices in Chumash communities,[21] communities during the Copper Age on the Black Sea coast in Bulgaria,[22] the excavation and interpretation of a 5,000-year-old person by the Czech Archaeological Society,[23] the reassessment of grave Bj.581 at Birka,[24] non-binary gender expression in Inuit cultures,[25] Roman Galli,[26][27] a 1,000-year-old person who likely had Klinefelter syndrome from Finland,[28] the life of Elagabalus,[29] prehistoric burials in Europe,[30] historical archaeology around the Engabao community in Ecuador,[31] material cultures in medieval England,[32][33] dress in eighteenth-century Ireland,[34] and many others.[35] The Lady of Vix is the name assigned to the main burial at the Vix site in northern Burgundy. The sex of the individual was highly contested as their funerary objects are often associated with men, but the individual was sexed using their skeletal remains to likely be female.[36]

(5) The question whether conduct amounts to an abuse of the individual is a
question of fact to be determined by reference to all the circumstances of the
case, including in particular the nature of the conduct.
(6) In assessing the nature of the conduct, consideration is to be given (among
other things) to the question whether it involves any of the following—
(a) words or behaviour of a sexual nature;
(b) violent or threatening words or behaviour;
(c) controlling or coercive words or behaviour;
(d) use of economic pressure;
(e) use of psychological or emotional pressure

out by a person towards an individual with the intention of—
(a) causing the individual—
(i) to have or not to have,
(ii) to believe that they have or do not have, a sexual orientation or a
particular sexual orientation; or
(b) causing the individual—

A cheek swab cannot determine a human's phenotype. A cheek swab would more often deny overtly cis people with previously unknown genotypic anomalies from playing sports, before it finds a single trans person. So it comes down to phenotypic analysis, i.e. genital inspection. Enter men like Larry👇
In 2016, following an eight-month investigation, Nassar was arrested and charged with sexually assaulting at least 265 young women and girls[5] over a 22-year period under the guise of medical treatment.[6][7] His victims included numerous Olympic and United States women's national gymnastics team gymnasts.[8]

You missed a bit where healthcare providers and their patients can discuss the situation in a healthcare capacity without it being seen as conversion practice. This proposed legislation would help reduce the number of people who think they have the professional capacity to deny trans people care.
(3) Conduct which—
(a) is carried out by a person towards an individual with such an
intention, but
(b) is carried out in the course of providing health care services to the
individual concerned,
is not a conversion practice unless the person acts in a way that falls far below
the standards reasonably expected of a person in their position.

I really don't know what else to tell you 🤷‍♀️ The law seems pretty clear cut on this example. There are ways to raise a concern on a case by case basis, approaching a stranger you believe is trans and trying to intimidate them into complicity may be seen as harassment under the Equality Act.
(1)A person (A) harasses another (B) if—

(a)A engages in unwanted conduct related to a relevant protected characteristic, and

(b)the conduct has the purpose or effect of—

(i)violating B's dignity, or

(ii)creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for B.

(2)A also harasses B if—

(a)A engages in unwanted conduct of a sexual nature, and

(b)the conduct has the purpose or effect referred to in subsection (1)(b).

(3)A also harasses B if—

(a)A or another person engages in unwanted conduct of a sexual nature or that is related to gender reassignment or sex,

"So you you wouldn't have let a trans woman into a woman's refuge?" "No." That's denying a woman the relevant support she needs after being raped on the basis of her transgender history alone. She would refuse to let her staff treat her, based on her history alone. 🤷‍♀️

No it doesn't, it seeks to prevent conversion practices from operating under anti LGBTQI+ agendas, while allowing healthcare professionals and their patients to decide what is best for them on a case by case basis. Which should be between the patient and their chosen healthcare professional(s).

Doing so in the instance would likely be seen as harassment under the Equality Act.

(a)A engages in unwanted conduct related to a relevant protected characteristic, and

(b)the conduct has the purpose or effect of—

(Underlined) (i)violating B's dignity, or

(Underlined) (ii)creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for B.

(2)A also harasses B if—

(a)A engages in unwanted conduct of a sexual nature, and

(b)the conduct has the purpose or effect referred to in subsection (1)(b).

(3)A also harasses B if—

(Underlined) (a)A or another person engages in unwanted conduct of a sexual nature or that is related to gender reassignment or sex,

Section 3 has carveouts for healthcare with caveats that healthcare providers actually have to be trying to provide healthcare. I don't see what the problem is here?
(3) Conduct which—
(a) is carried out by a person towards an individual with such an
intention, but
(b) is carried out in the course of providing health care services to the
individual concerned,
is not a conversion practice unless the person acts in a way that falls far below
the standards reasonably expected of a person in their position.

And this is where that line of thinking breaks down entirely: what about a cis woman who has a hysterectomy? Is she no longer a woman? What about a cis man who loses his penis in a car accident? Is he no longer a man?

What about people born without secondary sex characteristics, or with multiple sex characteristics that don’t neatly fit into one of two boxes? It happens. Are they no longer men and women? They are, of course, whoever they say they are.

To reduce women and men to nothing more than their reproductive organs is the exact thing our misogynistic patriarchal white supremacist society does, which feminism is about fighting against. In so doing, they prove they’re not feminists at all.

Vera Smith @wheeera.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
If you don’t probe any deeper than the surface, it may seem as if TERFs have a legitimate concern. They purport to be about preserving all the hard-won, well-deserved gains cis women have fought for over the years.

And they feel by applying those gains to trans women, so we can have those same rights, they’re losing something they worked so hard for.

Because we’re “not women” and didn’t “earn” it. Right there, you can see the transphobe warning lights going off.

The problem is the entire thing crumbles under the very briefest examination.

In order for their entire argument to make sense, you have to believe that gender and biological sex are inseparable. They’re not, and even biological sex isn’t binary.

Gender is a social construct. We made it up. Animals don’t have gender. They can be male or female, or many variations of intersexed, meaning they are born with or without different reproductive organs (spoilers! this happens in humans too).That doesn’t mean gender isn’t real. Money is also a social construct. It is real, but it only has value because we all agree that it does. If we stopped using money and society broke down, money would just be paper and metal, worth no more than their base components.

Gender only exists because we all agree that it does. The lack of it is also real, mad respect to agender folks.

So in TERF ideology, if you’re born with a penis you’re a man, and if you’re born with a vagina you’re a woman. End of story. It’s this outlook that causes them to see and perpetuate the trope of trans women just being “men in dresses, invading cis women’s spaces”.

And they thus see trans men as “confused lesbians” (which doesn’t even address trans men who are attracted to… men! Or are asexual!), and generally think non-binary people are just confused about everything, rather than trusting they know themselves better than anyone else.

Vera Smith @wheeera.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
TERFs cling to regressive policies for a lot of reasons, a big one being because they were forced to try to meet an impossible standard as cis women, and they believe it's right and good and the only way to be, and all women should be held to that same impossible standard. And it is impossible, and racist, and patriarchal, because cis women have been told all their lives that they simply are not allowed to exist any other way. Be beautiful, be small, make babies, be happy with the scraps you're given and be happy with your proximity to cis male whiteness, because that's all you deserve and that's the best you can hope for. But guess what? As trans women also grow up in this society, we have absorbed all those same messages about what women are "supposed to be."

TERFs are furious that others are free to choose another way. Embracing being trans and non-binary is an affront to them because how dare you reject the power and privilege that you get from all of the gender roles been imposed upon you, and that you've been punished for not following for your entire life? Why can't they choose another way? More spoilers: they can, but choose not to because it was hard and the anger of others doing what they could not is a huge part of their "problems" with trans people.

So TERFs choose to oppress us, when in fact they should be looking at why they feel the way they do. And why they've decided misogyny and gender policing is fine, when they're the ones perpetrating it!
Because it definitely doesn't benefit them, but I'm sure it does benefit the cis white heterosexual standards that are forced on everyone from the day we're born.

But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
