Still struggling mightily to square the circle:

The University of Edinburgh’s new trans policy could be illegal, leaving the cash-strapped institution open to legal challenge. 

The document — a copy of which has been obtained by The Herald — tells staff they can use “the toilet facilities that align with their gender identity” rather than their biological sex, even if they do not have a gender recognition certificate.

As I keep boringly repeating: they’re telling staff the impossible. If you make all the toilet facilities “whatever” then people can’t use the ones that align with their genner idenniny because there are no single genner toilets left. It’s a very simple point: wouldn’t you think people running universities would be able to grasp it? If you make all the toidies for everyone then they’re not for people who don’t want toidies for everyone – which is in fact most people.

Point 2: I consider the “gender recognition certificate” wholly irrelevant. A certificate doesn’t change anyone’s sex, end of story.

The institution accepts this means all facilities will effectively become mixed-sex.

But, it seems, still ignores the basic contradiction. When all facilities are mixed-sex nobody gets to choose a single-sex facility, which is what most people prefer. Where’s your “we all get what we want!!” now, you damn fools?

An equality impact assessment carried out ahead of the new policy taking effect late last month states that, “as a matter of law, access to facilities on the basis of gender identity makes those facilities mixed-sex rather than single-sex facilities”.

Why yes! Thank you for noticing! Now if only the university could grasp the point.
