   Scottish government ‘firmly’ backs single-sex spaces amid equality watchdog warning
   
   EHRC raises issues from tribunal brought by nurse who objected to sharing women’s changing room with trans doctor
   
   "The social justice secretary, Shirley-Anne Somerville, said: ‘This government stands firmly behind the separate and single-sex exemptions provided in the 2010 act.’"
   
   "The Scottish government “stands firmly behind” the provision of single-sex spaces, a minister has said after the UK equality watchdog addressed issues raised by an employment tribunal brought by a nurse who objected to sharing a women’s changing room with a transgender doctor.
   
   The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) requested a meeting with Holyrood’s health secretary as well as writing directly to Fife health board, which is disputing the claim, to “remind” management of their obligations under the 2010 Equality Act.
   
   Sandie Peggie, who has worked as a nurse for NHS Fife for more than 30 years, claims she was subject to unlawful harassment under the Equality Act when she was expected to share a changing room with a trans woman, Dr Beth Upton."

     @AnungIkwe But the issue is, you can say you support "single-sex spaces" all you like, but if you STILL allow one sex to "identify" as the other, it's just hot air.

     @RadicalCartoons @AnungIkwe Exactly. This game is played with semantics.
     Repeal the GRA and the ECHR and this nonsense will be over by teatime (except in the NHS when it will never be over).
