Trans women should not be automatically counted as women, the financial watchdog has ruled after business backlash.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) dropped its proposals to force companies to include men who self-identify as women in female diversity targets for boards and in senior management positions after hundreds of complaints.
Quite who will shriek loudest is of course unknown. Those who insist that wimmins is wimmins so the targets must include, or those who shriek that wimmins is wimmins so the targets must not include….
Possibly gruff shrieking….
Why any employer would want to employ someone who is obviously mental is beyond me.
“Self-identify”… So not been through the whole papermill to be recognised as “female” by the Bureaucrats.
( for a given value of “female”…. but since when has bureaucracy taken note of actual reality..)
So no… Not Female then… That’s actually the law in the UK, I believe?
@MC: From my experience you hired them some years back and then one day they turn up in HR and make an announcement.

As Steve Sailer has noted, many of the shreikiest trannies seem to be relatively high IQ men in traditionally male occupations – computing, medicine, sports etc.
How do they even know they’re women without a chromosome test? It’s likely impossible to tell.
So this means the company can’t simply offer a bloke a bit more cash to wear lipstick and a bra if the girly police whine that they haven’t got enough wimmin on the board??

If we follow the example of the woman who was recently interviewed for the US supreme court, we would have to ask a biologist.
Maybe every company needs to hire a biologist alongside their diversity coordinator to specify which employees are men and which are women…
What if there were “hundreds of complaints” against any hiring quotas of any kind?
Ruined lots of fun, that announcement did.
Ya see, if we chaps were allowed to self identify, and all self identified as female before the pay equality audit, then switched back to being male before the results were announced, we would then be due pay rises as men in order the equalise pay. Repeat as required.
Anything emanating from Financial Catastrophe Authority land is always bonkers. It’s one of the maddest of the mad quangos. I know this. I own and run a business ‘regulated’ by the idiots.
Other Jonathan: All the trannies I know (three of ’em) are relatively high IQ people in the traditionally male occupation of computing, and keep as far away from the madnessfest as possible. And it’s only through discreet Dwarf-like examination of nuances of conversations that you would know anyway, I’m sure they would rather die of embarrassment than march into a room and declare By My Shaved Adam’s Apple I Am A Woman, By Toutatis!
