Remember when the transphobes said they wanted the debate to be evidence-led? Whatever happened to that? Now they're declaring that their assumptions are good enough, and going so far as to conceal or refuse to collect evidence. Case in point: the Supreme Court ruling is based on the TERF dogma that "trans women are men" are therefore occupy the same economic position as men. A report from 2018 shows that 1/3 of employers would be less likely to hire a trans person, research from UCL shows that trans people are more likely to live in deprived areas, and joint research by Stonewall and Yougov show that a massive 1/4 of trans people have experienced homelessness (to say nothing of the HRC's US finding that trans women earn just 60% of what an average person earns). But the silver bullet that could put the doubts to rest - mandatory pay equity reporting - well, the Government Equalities Office's official guidance is "eh, don't bother collecting that for the transes."
