THERE’S a popular social media meme going around that says “your rights are not like pie” — that giving rights to someone else does not take rights away from you. It’s a perfect illustration of how badly the trans rights issue is being misunderstood.
There is an exemption for “sex” in the 2010 Equality Act, which we can use to increase the participation of women in professional and political life.

That is a whole lot like pie.
