In the UK, there is a right for women to have single-sex spaces, where appropriate, as part of their protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010. There is also a right, under the Workplace Regulations 1992, for employees to have separate facilities by sex. So, you’re wrong there, sunshine

Given that it has not been repealed, yes, there is a right. And you are incorrect to say there is not, as you seem to know. Just because you would LIKE to live in your version of reality, does not make it so bsky.app/profile/ansh...

I personally don't prefer to call things I don't think should be rights 'rights' even if there are laws on the books protecting these things. I also use 'rights' to refer to things the law does not guarantee. I don't think it's wrong to say "x is a right and we need legislation protecting it"

Your arguments are so clownish I suspect you are a parody.

C’mon now - he could be an homage to Lewis Carroll ‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’

You know words have multiple meanings, right? One meaning is 'things we are entitled to'. Hence why I say "there is a right to healthcare, housing, education for all" even though current US law doesn't recognize this right.

Oh mate - I think you should just go and have a quiet cup of tea, or other hot beverage of your choice. Just let this one go, you’re not going to be able to top it bsky.app/profile/ansh...

Holy hell. I'm certain he's a bright guy, but the level of self-importance is off the scale... Have mercy on his future colleagues...

Look, it's a right if Anshu thinks it is, but not if the law says so and he disagrees. Anshu is the centre of the universe.
