on, you don't look like a stereotypical man or woman, you know, what's going on?
voice-verified
But it does basically say that if there are realistic grounds for thinking someone is trying to, you know, gain the system by being a man trying to go into women's only space.
voice-verified
then you are allowed to challenge them.
voice-verified
And the worry for transgender people, you know, and for other people who don't necessarily present in a stereotypical way of, you know, the gender in which they live, is that it could cause, you know, not necessarily people being challenged, but just awkwardness and difficulty and just stress, really.
voice-verified
Some have.
voice-verified
The Women's Institute and Girlguiding have said that they will no longer be able to accept trans women and girls.
voice-verified
You know, they both said that they didn't want to do that, but they feel they have no choice.
voice-verified
Some organisations have slightly pushed back.
voice-verified
The Hampstead Outdoor Swimming Ponds, the people who organised those, have said that the women's pond will be open to trans women.

voice-verified
It also depends how much of an appetite people have still got for a fight.
voice-verified
And some organizations have basically said, we're going to take the cautious route.
voice-verified
I think other ones are just trying to lie low and say, we're going to carry on doing what we're doing and hope they don't get noticed.
voice-verified
If you speak to Labour MPs who've taken an interest in this, you know, from the point of view of what they see is the eroded rights of trans people, then they will generally say that inevitably there's going to have to be a change to the law.
voice-verified
And it's the responsibility of Parliament to do this, particularly when there are warriors outside human rights groups
voice-verified
marking the UK down in terms of its performance on trans rights.
voice-verified
It's quite notable.
voice-verified
The political reality is that ministers, and almost certainly Andy Burnham, I have to say I've never asked him about this specific issue, would much rather secretly want this just to go away and for everything to be normal.
voice-verified
Because the whole trans rights debate was so vexed.
