Court hears Hampstead ponds trans access challenge
A High Court challenge to the transgender access policy at Hampstead Heath’s single-sex swimming ponds has heard arguments that it compromises women’s “privacy, dignity and sense of safety”.
The charity Sex Matters is disputing City of London Corporation rules that allow access to the north London ponds based on gender identity rather than biological sex.

Lets not link BBC articles about trans topics. They are famously terrible at properly covering them.
For example, calling Sex Matters a charity and not a hate group is a big mischaracterization.

There is no ‘better’ source for this news, the alternative is to never know it is happening.

Though you could say it’s a followup.
It mentions that Translucent have come to help weigh in, and that 86% of respondents voted to keep it inclusive from back in January, which is covered here:

That’s what the user above would prefer. Quietly silencing things by shaming posting major networks. Sounds like a trick.
