We need to go underground
I've spent a thoroughly depressing morning erasing references to my former identity and transgender issues from my main Web site, blogs and social media profiles. The posts have been archived elsewhere. So much accumulated over the years when it was relatively safe to be transgender in Britain.
After thinking through the implications of this week's Supreme Court ruling, and what that means in the context of human rights laws, I figure that lawful discrimination must be predicated on knowing a that transgender woman was born male, and I can't see how that could happen without knowing the woman is transgender. Acting on the belief that someone is transgender, or demanding evidence of a person's birth sex, is still generally unlawful. This is just my understanding of the legal situation. We still need to wait on the legal experts and case law.
Essentially I believe transgender women are in a much better position, legally, if they don't openly disclose their transgender status or medical history.
I'll still be engaging with the transgender community, I have a ton of information and analysis I think will prove useful, and I'll be teaming up with a couple more authors/influencers, but a lot of work's needed to keep all that separate from my public identity.
