The Spectator(@spectator):Many people who work in the Civil Service are revolting. Quite literally in the verbal meaning of the word, and, as many have long argued, very decidedly when understood as an adjective. Civil Servants have been in revolt this week at the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, which currently wants to ensure that only biological women can use female toilets and changing rooms, to comply with last April's Supreme Court ruling which decreed that 'man' or 'woman' in the Equality Act should refer to biological sex. ✍️ Patrick West Article | https://t.co/HOB3BnCiS2
