Sex is the only protected characteristic that is required to prove that providing appropriate services for that characteristic has to be shown to be "proportionate".
Even if you want to trust Labour, how can you when they have shown through their legislation that they just dont understand / dont care / dont empathise with women?
Labour destroyed the value of the EA for women with the GRA which over rides women’s protected characteristics – they didn’t care then, they don’t care now

However, my understanding from people with disabilities (protected characteristic) is that even straightforward accommodations can be withheld if they're not deemed 'proportionate' and the interpretation of that is decidedly variable.
You are probably right.
Will try and see what it actually says - but much much later tonight.
