See here for a clear and succinct explanation of the law on single sex spaces.
⬇️
And for the terminally confused: women DO have the right to single-sex toilets (and changing rooms if needed) AT WORK. As do men. Under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
For service providers, single-sex facilities are permissible, not obligatory, but failure to do so may give rise to indirect sex discrimination.
Indirect, because treating men and women the same, but sex discrimination nonetheless, because it is detrimental to women.

Yes. Just like the time powerful men went to court to have a charity founded and run by lesbians struck off. @AllianceLGB survived and the men ended up looking pretty foolish….nevertheless a lot of trauma was caused to good women who are overdue an apology don’t you think?
Powerful men use the law to intimidate women they’ve abused into silence.
But it’s time to flip the fear. Help us to fund cases that turn the tables on these men, empower women to speak out – and get justice:

Jolyon Maugham, the director of the GLP, has a history of harassing women that campaign for sex based rights.
This includes Sarah Phillimore who has had to take legal action against him. crowdjustice.com/case/protectio…
And recently he made derogatory remarks about the appearance and age of Barbara Rich. x.com/barbararich_la…

That there was ANY objection to @NottsRtN is gobsmacking… & more than a little worrying. Am extremely glad the marchers were kept safe… their point was proved!
#ReclaimTheNightNottingham
Police had to escort us through the city. The streets of Nottingham are not safe for women in 2026
The words "female-only" are met with violence, intimidation and harassment
But we stayed strong and finished our march
Power to the women ♀️💜💚🤍

The irony!
Women should not need men's consent to march for our safety.

A peaceful march centring the message “no to violence against women and girls” met by a baying mob screaming vicious insults! & a a police escort required to keep the women safe WOW The optics of this are just crazy!

These scenes from Nottingham Reclaim the Night (RTN) are worrying.
Women marching to protest agains male violence against women and girls are met by exactly that violence.
How many police @nottspolice does it take to keep women safe in Nottingham city centre?

The protesters were extremely hostile. The police had to throw themselves between the protesters to keep them from us. In this video this is the furthest they were away from us.
We were a small group of extremely brave women at the ONLY female only #ReclaimTheNight

Our March was not a protest.
Angry men protested women who want a world where we can enjoy a night out without the fear of violence or intimidation.
The irony!

I went on 'reclaim the night' marches in the 80s & 90s. Women chanted & sang in peaceful solidarity, with just a couple of police around. Now, 'queer' activists attack the protest because they dare to make it women-only. Gender ideology is an aggressive, misogynistic cult

Last night, our members made history. We stood together in #Nottingham for the first female-only #ReclaimTheNight march the city has seen in well over a decade. In fact, this was likely the only explicitly female-only #ReclaimTheNight march in the entire country this year. 1/11

Well done to the brave women reclaiming the night in Nottingham. It is incredible that anyone would protest against this but this is the age of stupid.

Brave women, reclaiming
#ReclaimTheNightNottingham were met with violence. From the "be kind" crowd obviously 🙄

A huge thank you to every woman who arrived at the march and despite the prospect of walking past a baying mob stayed strong and fearless.
Thank you to our speakers 🥰
& all our headstrong stewards!

The aggression and vitriol we were faced with for holding a women-only march was the perfect demonstration of why it was needed #ReclaimTheNightNottingham #ReclaimTheNight

People are protesting AGAINST women's rights to be safe on Britain's streets. We truly are entering the Twilight Zone. #ReclaimTheNightNottingham

When I met Jolyon Maugham a few years ago I asked him what he had against LGB Alliance. He told me that it was because we could not possibly have held conferences at the QEII centre without men organising and funding us. When I tried to discuss this with him further he physically turned his back to me and told me that he refused to engage any further. He silenced me.
Then he took a case to the Charity Commission to have LGB Alliance struck off the register. He wanted to silence us.
Now he is saying he wishes to support women who have been "abused into silence". Are you planning to reimburse our supporters with the £250k your vexatious court case cost us Jolyon?
Let's flip the fear Jolyon - and get you in the dock for terrorising so many women over the years and abusing the law so to do.
"Powerful men use the law to intimidate women they've abused into silence".
Says the Good Law Project.
Yes. Yes they do Jolyon.
We've noticed that.
