Birmingham Islamic faith school guilty of sex discrimination

No, segregation does NOT imply discrimination. People use the word "discrimination" so loosely these days it has lost all meaning. If one group is not disadvantaged over another group, it is not discrimination. You are free to be of the opinion that segregation is wrong, but then it is wrong in itself, not because it is discriminatory.

(As for me, well, the answer is simple: if I have a son I would put him in a mixed school, but if I have a daughter then I would seriously consider going for girls-only. Especially given the state of the country we find ourselves in...)

But there is something wrong here, and that is what they teach to kids. The sexually discriminative content of their religion.

UK Government said the term "pregnant women" should not be used

From Sunday times : Yet in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office submission, Britain opposes the term “pregnant woman” because it may “exclude transgender people who have given birth”.

People should have the right to identify as anything they like. But in reality, in the world of flesh and hormones and common understanding, you are a woman. Men cannot get pregnant. The spat over ‘pregnant people’ cuts to the heart of a discussion very few people want to have: about how self-identification is all well and good but it does not, and cannot, override physical and cultural reality.

Jodie Whittaker: Doctor Who's 13th Time Lord to be a woman

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-40624288 The Doctor has finally fallen... to political correctness. #DoctorWho #doctor13 — Stop This PC Madness (@StopPCMadness) 16 July 2017 Esp. worrying to happen in #DoctorWho coz it involves physiological sex change - woman is not the problem, the left's transgender agenda is. — Stop This PC Madness (@StopPCMadness) 16 July 2017 As I have tweeted, my problem with this is not so much about woman, but transgenderism. I would have far less issue if James Bond or Sherlock Holmes became a woman; bemused more than anything, I suppose. But the doctor changes sex physiologically. This is a children's show. Inevitably the end result is that children view sex change as normal. And not only that - the left's transgender agenda is not just to normalise sex change, but to encourage it. And it was recently established in Doctor Who stories that sex change is not only common and normal, but that (and gender fluidity and h...
