And this is how @jk_rowling reacts to a video of a woman, @IndiaWilloughby dancing. Simply because the woman in question happens to be trans. Judge for yourself.

@MForstater Thatโ€™s not the case. Forcing a trans girl to dress as a boy would be a clear case of indirect discrimination on the basis of gender reassignment. Itโ€™s not OK to treat her like โ€œother boysโ€ as this puts her at a clear disadvantage because of her protected characteristic.
