It is devastating that

There is a slogan 'If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament' which tries to point to the inextricable relationship between sexism and reproductive rights, but it's not quite correct. If men (not women) could get pregnant, then men would be the oppressed sex.

Sex is a material reality with social significance. If we can't say sex matters, we can't fight sexism.

We got here because no one has been paying attention to women raising the alarm about the potential (and actual) harms of an ideology that reifies 'gender identity' and erases sex. In short, because of misogyny.
How did we get to the point where women are having to fight for the right to choose whether they wax some big old hairy cock & balls or not? It is not a human right to have your meat & 2 veg polished.

The meaning of cisgender is that sex 'matches' gender. The 'matching' of sex with gender roles and expression is precisely what anti-sexism/feminism rails against. Saying female people are privileged to occupy a subordinate gender role is very offensive.

I'm not sure this has been thought through....do they want people with an M marker on their GP registration to be automatically invited for cervical screening?
For cervical screenings, only people with an ‘F’ marker on their GP registration are currently automatically invited for a screening. Although everyone with a cervix can request screening, the current IT system doesn’t automatically invite those with an ‘M’ marker.

Shameful. This case is not about harassment of trans people. It is about the right of workers to hold and express a belief that sex is real, and matters, with facing discrimination. A belief shared by the vast majority of people, including members of trade unions.
Everyone should be treated with dignity and respect at work.
Employers must keep all their workers safe from discrimination and harassment - including trans and non-binary workers.
