      Barclays is apparently going to inspect your genitals, everybody.

      And if they’re not, well, that kind of proves this was never really a problem in the first place, doesn’t it?

      I’d love something cleared up for me because I’ve seen people say different things. Does the law now *obligate* businesses to bar trans women from using female bathrooms/changing rooms/etc or is it more of a “it’s up to the business but if they do bar trans women, the law now protects that decision” thing?

      Attempting to enforce this on anyone is going to end with you being sued

      Must be a bad news day with this flurry of anti trans articles to distract the masses

      Wait what? Banks and bankers aren’t nice inclusive people with dubious morals? I don’t know how to live in this new world….

      Thank you, Barclays. You have made the very easy decision for me to not remortgage with you next year.

      There is going to be a flood of stories about this so this comment is more for all of those rather than this specific one.

      The law being what it is now, the majority of companies/organizations will find their hands tied on this matter.

      It’s dumb as shit and won’t protect women or girls from predatory sex offenders who can now just pretend to be trans men, but this is sadly the law of the land.

      Britain is becoming a regressive nation. The only thing we won’t be bringing back is pensions worth a damn and affordable house prices

      Just switched my main bank account over to Co Op for this. £175 switching bonus (First Direct have the same bonus too but I’ve been with them before.)

      It’s so needlessly hostile to people just trying to live their truth. 

      It’s so easy to switch accounts, everything is done for you – all your DDs and standing orders go over, and so do any payments to you, so your salary. So I’d encourage any Barclays customers who are pissed off about this to move!

      There’s going to be a backlash to all of these anti-trans actions and it can’t come soon enough 🏳️‍⚧️⚧️

      There’s no way this doesn’t end in transphobes pushing for segregated bathrooms, right? Like, do we really believe they’re just going to accept the reality that trans men are going to be using women’s rest rooms now?

      As a passing* trans woman, I’ve got to wonder how they’ll know to stop me.

      *”passing” means I pass as my gender visually and socially. Nobody has identified me as transgender in a long time.

      Bet they’ll still have their little rainbow bird logo during pride though.

      I wonder how many companies that put pride and progress pride flags up will now make decisions like this.

      Fuck the corporates, it’s us against the wealth elites
