Rather a lot of organisations who, driven by foolishness or ideology, forced colleagues into the wrong toilets following the 'interim guidance' of the EHRC are going to have some explaining to do. www.thepinknews.com/2025/05/15/w...
Top UK university says trans toilet ban published in 'error'
Warwick University has said it is 'deeply sorry' for temporarily updating its trans toilets policy to exclude them from single-sex spaces.

We don't think the interim guidance published by the EHRC and pushed by Bridget Phillipson is lawful.
So today we've started legal proceedings against them.

Being trans isn’t a mental illness.
But if you’re one of the bigots who thinks it is… why the fuck are you bullying trans people who - you believe - have a mental illness?
It’s so fucking ableist and disgusting, it’s unreal.

The EHRC are really going to try and rush this through
Remember when they forced us to have 3 whole consultations on the GRA Reform because the result kept supporting reforming it?
We are going to have to be so intense about this. Completely flooding it and also fighting against them rushing it

Update on this:
The consultation will now “aim to launch 19 May and close on 30 June 2025”
So it’s now six weeks instead of two.
This Pride Month let’s make our campaigning centred around contributing to this consultation.

This increase might allow some larger organisations firm up policy during AGM season before sending their response. If you're in a union or any other large membership org - make sure they know they can respond!

I also voiced my concerns to Nia Griffith MP about the consultation window on the statutory guidance being too short. And the irresponsible speed with which the so called equalities watchdog was pursuing statutory guidance. Mirroring the lack of genuine engagement we saw from the court.

So they've caved on the consultation period but they're still, unsustainably, maintaining the law is clear.
Some days ago, I said this was going to be the (very well funded and very powerful) anti-trans lobby's first big mistake. And I see no reason to withdraw that prediction.

Rounding up and deporting immigrants already living here?
Then what? Deporting their children?

UK equality watchdog to extend gender guidance consultation, say insiders
Exclusive: six-week deliberation asked for by Commons committee expected to be granted after internal backlash
The UK’s equality watchdog is expected to give in to demands that it allow more time to consider its formal guidance on the landmark supreme court ruling about gender issues, after what sources say has been a big backlash from staff and stakeholders.
Some insiders believe the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) may be forced into a U-turn on its initial response, which was criticised as overly literal in defining how organisations should respond to the court decision that “woman” in the Equality Act refers only to a biological woman.
