Queen’s University Belfast Trans Equality FAQ:

As part of its wider Equality and Diversity Policy, Queen’s University (“the University”) is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming community where staff and students are enabled to meet their full potential and are treated as individuals.

This includes providing advice, support and understanding to those individuals who have transitioned, are transitioning, or are planning to transition, are non-binary, intersex or gender non-conforming.

That’s nice. Does it also include those individuals who are women?

It doesn’t seem to. On the Diversity and Inclusion page (which links to the Trans Equality page which links to the Trans Equality FAQ page) we get a link to Menopause, but we do not get a link to Women and Equality, and thus no link to the Women and Equality FAQ page. I take it there are no such pages. Why do trans people get a nice selection of sub pages while women get only…menopause?

There is a Gender Equality page, but it’s weirdly shy about what it means by Gender Equality. One gets the feeling that Queens thinks women have already won their fight and really don’t deserve or need any more attention from the equality squad. I, for one, get the feeling Queens thinks women are the establishment, while trans people are the exciting important fabulous people these days. Women are Mummy, trans people are glitter and sex and balloon-tits.
