The Mayor of Greater Manchester has declined to say whether she will support the implementation of controversial new guidance affecting trans people's access to public facilities. Bev Craig, who succeeded Andy Burnham as Greater Manchester Mayor last month, was twice asked whether she would back Equality and Human Rights

Bev Craig, who succeeded Andy Burnham as Greater Manchester Mayor last month, was twice asked whether she would back Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) ‘guidance’ recommending that trans people use either gender-neutral facilities or those corresponding to their sex assigned at birth. According to reports, she stopped short of giving a direct commitment. …
Asked again whether she intended to introduce the measures, Craig replied that her focus was on understanding what, if anything, would need to change from current arrangements. She also stressed that she would not be policing who uses public toilets, remarking that she would not be “checking people’s bits on the way into the toilet”.

    You’d probably like to know major quickly deflected it by saying she’s not checking everyone’s private parts. She’s not a weirdo to indulge in invented problems and waste time. Trans people are just people and “trans ideology” is the one that demonizes them 24/7 while surprising amount of people wouldn’t otherwise have any opinion about what they do and get all worked up about that.
