More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I don't really know what would change whenever you say "women" in the equality act refers to biological. Isn't it already against the act to discriminate against someone for being trans anyway?
There's a bunch of women specific legislation in the equality act as well.
For example, it allows for the existence of women only spaces which include gyms, refuges and toilets.
If you say that women is used in its biological sense, you're saying that trans men can use these spaces but trans women can't.
However, the ehrc is going full terf and saying that despite the ruling that women is used in its biological sense, they think that all trans people should be prohibited from using some of these spaces.
