But they perceive everything as offensive. They perceive reality as offensive.
"Transphobic behaviour will amount to harassment where the complainant reasonably perceives it as creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment for them"
Do the TRAs perceive anything reasonably? “Reasonable” seems to exclude most of their arguments, let alone perceptions.
Here’s one important bit left out:
Nothing in this definition is intended to contravene the protections given to all protected groups under the Equality Act 2010. The NEU rejects all discrimination and recognizes that holding and expressing gender critical views is protected by law under the Equality Act and the European Convention on Human Rights, Articles 9 and 10. This means holders of these views can express them freely, as long as they do so in a respectful manner, avoiding creating an environment which is hostile or discriminatory to trans people.
-Seeking to remove trans people from discussions about issues which directly affect them;
-Forcing or pressurizing trans people to participate in discussions of trans identity against their wishes;
So, a committee is formed to discuss representation of women/process for selection of women’s position/women’s facility or service. Trans person insists TWAW and refuses to engage in further discussion. Ability to move forward without bowing to TRA is blocked. Any attempt to remove TRA from discussion to allow progress falls foul of first bullet point. Game, set, match.

For just about every item, a case can be made that the “transphobic” behavior represents the individual expressing her protected beliefs.
I hope the legal system responds to these reasonable perceptions with deliberate speed.
Jeeeezus.
“India” has monetized being offended.
The Overton Window in the House of Gender doesn’t face “reasonable.”
