Former Equalities chief warns against trans self-declaration
(Christian Institute: England and Wales)
One of the authors of the 2010 Equality Act has spoken out against proposals to allow people to self-declare their gender.
Writing in The Times, former Chairman of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission Trevor Phillips said allowing self-declaration would be “to the detriment of every woman, person of colour and disabled individual in Britain”.
He wants to see an easier sex-swap process, but says that “agitation by a guilt-tripping band of ‘trans’ activists has corralled MPs into contemplating a wholly unnecessary and dangerous further step”.
