Comment on EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights
TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 1 week agoI know it wasn’t the head of the EHRC that spoke in this instance, but she is the one who runs the EHRC and what they do/say. She sets the culture. She’s the boss.
This commissioner is talking in this way because it’s the message that comes from the top.

I notice you’ve completely failed to address my main point - that the woman in the article said exactly what you said at the start of your comment. (Which undermines your main point.)
I’m glad to hear that.

I know what she said, and it doesn’t undermine my point.
She is acting as if nothing has changed, when something has changed: the actions of the EHRC.
The law hasn’t changed, but the EHRC is dubiously using the SC’s verdict to push for anti-trans measures in gov departments.
Why are you still not addressing my comment?
Ok?
Now are you going to address what I said or not?

I’m confused then. Why did you state, at the start of a load of criticism, exactly what the woman in the article stated, without mentioning the fact that you were repeating what she was saying? What was the purpose of putting that at the start of your criticism?

Because – as I said – they are saying one thing and doing another.
From one side of their mouth they’re saying nothing has changed, from the other they are using this as vindication for new anti-trans moves.
Now that I’ve again answered you, for the final time, are you going to address what I’ve been saying?
It feels like you’re just arguing in bad faith for the sake of arguing, and I can’t be bothered with that.
