Time For A Re-Think Of The Equality Act?

[Deskdiary]

When the Act was being written, do you think it was ever imagined that it would allow for absurdities such as shown in the link?

In a nutshell a woman identifying as a man but still being in possession of a vagina (in other words a woman) was asked to leave the sauna because it is only licensed for gay men.

From the report “In a statement, Sailors Sauna said: "We are only licensed for men to use the venue.

"I understand that the gentleman was male, however his physical gender was different and as a customer had already stated that a female was using the venue, I explained that I would need to clarify with the council.”

‘He’ wasn’t male. She is female.

The Act allows this state of affairs to exist – but sometimes the law is wrong.

Support moronic ideas as though they were fact and this is the sort of ridiculous muddle you get. Seems every generation comes up with some insane idea which they claim is right, and then poor scorn on those older and wiser who know differently and point it out. Trouble is, not every such thing gets reversed when the idiocy is evident; there's always those that want to stay with the error they know so speak in it's defense.
