The EHRC are laying the foundation of "papers please"segregation on arbitrary notions of conformity, 'sensitivity', and 'equal' treatment.
It shows the consequences of a pseudo intellectual lobbying group responsible for shaping bureaucratic segregation.
This is by no definition "clarity"

Today, we’ve formally informed the EHRC that we no longer recognise it as a national human rights institution. This was not a decision taken lightly. But there can be no accountability without action. We urge other organisations to consider their stance and speak out.

Before all the transphobes gets on their high horse about this, every Labour policy about trans people constitutes violence or proxy-violence against trans people’s bodies.
And all Labour’s transphobic policies have been implemented completely undemocratically, without even any votes in parliament.

If your organisation no longer recognises the EHRC as a national human rights institution, we’ve prepared an email template you can adapt.
