Any organization attempting to be inclusive (such as, say, a Gay Men’s Choir) is now being left open to legal challenge and punishment. This is segregation.

Govt have total control over what happens next. They can require the EHRC produce a code that is compliant with the Human Rights Act and the public sector equality duty. They also have a range of legislative options open. If they choose not to act, they are responsible for every bit of 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

We’re hearing that EHRC’s updated Code is now with the Minister for Equalities.
Now, more than ever, it’s critical to write to your MP to get them to pressure her for a debate & vote in Parliament, not for this Code to become statutory automatically.
Please do write; template letter linked below 🙏

Success! We delivered our joint letter demanding full scrutiny, meaningful debate & a free vote for MPs on the new Code of Practice.

Liberals don't do this shit because it achieves anything. They do it because they want to. Because they agree with the bigotry and violence.

The draft is cruel; there is no evidence it will better protect women, cis or trans; it breaches Labour's manifesto commitment to trans people; it is unenforceable; encourages vigilanteism; and it is clearly inconsistent with the UK's obligations under the ECHR. We will challenge it in court. 2/2

We are aware of the EHRC's briefing to The Times about its draft statutory guidance. The draft is inconsistent with the Supreme Court's explicit assurance (from para 248) that its "interpretation would not be disadvantageous to or remove protection from trans people with or without a GRC." 1/2

The EHRC has just sent its finalised Code of Practice on single-sex spaces to the Equality Minister - without Parliamentary debate.
What you can do:
1. Email your MP today.
2. Demand a full debate and vote on EHRC Code.
3.Consultation without scrutiny is a democratic failure.

111/NHS direct is a joke. Having to misgender yourself to the people there for no reason is outright humiliating. It's designed to put trans people off reaching out for healthcare support.
There were years of surveys that worked on finding respectful ways to gather this information, disregarded.

This is the thing, though: capitalists aren’t interested in the fact that housing people is cheaper, because they profit off of homelessness, and all the downstream effects of homelessness. They are intrinsically opposed to the public good.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
It costs a lot less to house people.

The guidance also ban trans men from female toilets on the basis that their presence would cause "alarm or distress".
