@equalityhumanright.bsky.social are withholding their consultation report till after the Code is a “done deal”

But we sent copies of the public’s submissions direct to @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social & @niagriffith.bsky.social

Any MPs can view this dossier *right now*

As the EHRC refuses to make public evidence for its new guidance, MPs can find out how trans people have responded by asking the Minister

For immediate release: 5 September 2025

Our friends at TACC have discovered yet more evidence of shocking EHRC cover-up. An FOI request reveals that the EHRC is not planning to publish a report on its public consultation until AFTER its new Code of Practice has gone all the way through Parliament, and is a “done deal”.

FOI re. EHRC consultation process
FOI re. EHRC consultation process
When the new Code is laid in Parliament, MPs will have 40 days to carefully scrutinise and evaluate it. But how can they carry out this important Parliamentary duty without any insight into the public’s 50,000+ submissions to the EHRC’s obligatory consultation?

MPs will have no idea whether the EHRC integrated any of those stakeholder responses into its finalised Code – or ignored them entirely.

Luckily, TransActual and TACC anticipated exactly this problem. They asked individuals and organisations to share their EHRC public consultation submissions with them.

The result was a massive 10-volume dossier, which we have delivered directly to the heart of Government.

Any MP who genuinely wants to know the questions, fears and concerns the public have raised about the EHRC’s new Code doesn’t need to sit in the dark while the EHRC conceals its report until it is too late.

They simply need to go to the offices of Equalities Ministers Bridget Phillipson and Nia Griffith, and ask to read the completely uncensored submissions already in their possession.

Well written article. But I don't understand why the NHS Grampian is doing this. Fern is entitled to carry on using female spaces. There is no law to say otherwise.

OFFICIAL: UK seat of democracy imposes restroom trans ban, ignoring law. Insists on outing all trans people. Initial decision now confirmed.

Please tell anyone you know in the EU: it is widely believed the UK is lgbtq-tolerant. That changed in the last 3 months.

I've just said the same thing with the bank, who are refusing to change my name on my bank accounts, even though they have seen my driving licence, passport etc. Would they treat a Cis-person the same. That's a No. Bloody right wing, bigot, Terf, Motherfu#kers. I'm a BLOODY HUMAN!! (trans & Proud😉🏳️‍⚧️)
