I cannot stand by and willingly allow this harmful guidance to be adopted. This is why I have signed Nadia Whittome’s Early Day Motion 240 to disapprove this guidance. In my view, the Code creates confusion rather than clarity, and does not strengthen protections for trans people.
This thing of "I cannot find a romantic partner therefore all is doomed" - the problem is that so many men are socialised against making friends that they put far too much pressure on finding a partner as the solution to all their ills, as if a partner can or should "fix" everything.
