The EHRC has sent its guidance to the Government. Now politicians need to act. As @nancymk.bsky.social writes:
"They can require the EHRC produce a code that is compliant with the Human Rights Act and the public sector equality duty." If they don't act, they are responsible for the harm."

As EHRC leaks a final draft Code of Practice to the Equality Act to the Times then delivers it to govt and attempts to wash its hands of the impact on trans people, its important to recognise and call out the shell game we're in. EHRC will say 'we're just following the Supreme Court judgement' 1/3

Feedback From a Reader
It's not quite a fortnight since my book Her Name is Alice was published. Honestly, after the stress of the pre-publication interviews, publication day was a bit of an anti-climax. My team at Harper Collins took me and my agent out for a bite to eat, and then onto Gays the Word to sign a few pre-order copies. But I cancelled later celebratory drinks, planned with a couple of girlfriends, and took the train back to the suburbs for a quiet night in with my husband. For several days I was subdued a

Great to hear this support for trans rights from Unison
Unison is the largest women’s organization in the UK. It has a million women members.
The Unison women’s conference just voted for a motion that said;
“trans women are women and trans men are men”
with no-one speaking against it.
Transphobia is a top-down, elite practice.

Last night I watched the two hour long evidence given last week by clinicians to the Women Equalities Select Committee on the safety and effectiveness of puberty blockers. It was rivetting. https://parliamentlive.tv/event/index/bacb0793-8233-46d8-9a9d-e48e31ec0149

The ban on puberty blockers is the first piece of anti LGBTQ legislation since section 28.
