Exploring new depths to the word Misnomer, the UK’s Equality and Human Rights Commission has issued a loathsome set of rules targeting trans people.
-
The U.K. can have EU personal data passed to it frictionlessly because the European Commission determined that it offered a legal framework for data protection which offered equal protections to that of the EU.
EU law includes the corpus of legal decisions from the CJEU, such as the VP case;
“it is for the controller, … to take into consideration that person’s gender identity at the time of their registration in the asylum register, and not the gender identity assigned to them at birth.”
A controller following this new code of bad practice by processing personal data of a trans person, by assigning or challenging their use of a toilet in line with their “gender identity at the time” would breach this law.
It is somehow fitting that the UK government would jeopardise their whole economy - because that is how significant the EU’s adequacy agreement is to them- because it really really wanted to mistreat trans people.

In response, a reminder that in doing so the U.K. breaches EU data protection law & its own adequacy decision.

@Tupp_ed At some point the UK's current treatment of trans people will go down in history with their treatment of Alan Turing for being gay -- which took them 50 years to apologize for.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite I love all my words equally. I regret my essay style is more discursive than you are used to, but I invite you to consider that, while it may not meet the Reuters style guide, or a tabloid newspaper’s pyramidal information format, it is not intended to. It is a reflection of what I want to say, largely how I would like to say it.
May it be both not what you find useful or interesting and also, still, arguably written to reflect its author’s wishes and opinions?

@Tupp_ed well, of course you are free to write what you want, that is absolutely your privildege
and if you readers like it, then of course they can tell me to jump off a cliffbut IMO a blog post on a non fiction topic should have a lede paragraph that summarizes the argument and the reader should't have to wade thru all sorts of personal trivia
or a the very least you should have some sort of header or thing that allows the reader to skip to lede

@failedLyndonLaRouchite I mean, I wanted to discuss colonialism as the frame for anti-trans material. The essay form is not a news bulletin. I may have a theme, but I don’t have an abstract or a lede you can skip to.
I’m not a newspaper or an academic paper.
I am, in the end, writing to express myself in the hope (but never the expectation) that other people will enjoy reading it.

@Tupp_ed in fact, it's a felony to out a person as trans in many places like Germany.

@Tupp_ed surely there's some EU company about to lose a bid to a UK company who would love that UK company to be disqualified. Come on, cause a big fuck up.
Euro. Crt. Human Rights can be ignored. But "stop transferring all personal data to UK now" can't!
