There is an exemption under the current Equalities Act to preserve single-sex services for vulnerable women, so there is no need to accommodate transgender women. Therefore, services that DO house males who ID as women are choosing to put women at risk: dailymail.co.uk/news/article…

This refers to the fact that it is totally legal to have completely unregulated 'pop up strip clubs' - thanks to Cheltenham Races that's exactly what happens here:

Replying to @mpmwilko @FloClucas @Chelt_Fems @not_buyingit @glosrasac @LibDemVix
The massive increase in licensable activities during race week creates a hugely increased workload for licensing & police. This is almost certainly taken advantage of by some operators.

It seems the @LibDems have no space for anyone who believes in the provisions of the Equality Act 2010 and the rights of women to access single-sex spaces and services. Wow. libdems.org.uk/lgbt-history-…
