From Angela Richardson

former Conservative MP for Guildford

In response to: Trans Protest on Guildford High Street

Stonewall and a few militant transactivists owe transpeople who just quietly wanted to get on with their lives a massive apology. They pushed much further than the Equality Act 2010 intended and then silenced any opposition with #nodebate.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is working at pace to finalise guidance following the ruling by the Supreme Court Justices.

Equality means that the rights of one group does not usurp the rights of another. As ever, it’s the practical application of Equality legislation that is sometimes challenging but not impossible.
