There are proposals to cancel Indefinite Leave to Remain.
That would tear families apart — including my own.
My wife could have been separated from her children under. People like my friend Tariq, who’ve lived here since babies, could be taken from their communities.
These people are Britain.

"Trans people could be asked about whether they should be accessing single-sex services based on their physical appearance."
No. not "trans people". ANYONE. This moral panic leads inexorably to the policing of women based on their appearance deemed to be "unfeminine".

The new code of practice on access to single-sex services cannot gain legal force until it gets sign-off from ministers.

As a cis woman with short hair whose favorite outfit is a T-shirt and men’s jeans (they’re cheaper, more durable, and have POCKETS!) I’ve already had the ‘pleasure’ of anti-trans bigots trying to protect women from women like me.
Anti-trans bigotry simply misogyny. Always has been. Always will be.
Anti-trans bigotry simply misogyny. Always has been. Always will be.
If the EHRC had their way we'd see all women forced back into wearing only skirts and dresses and wearing their hair long lest they be suspected of being trans and banned from going to the toilet.
That's what this is suggesting. Masculine women being denied access alongside trans people.

At least it's honest, right? Intrusive questioning of women who don't conform to norms about how they should look, and women then being banned if they tell their inquisitor to mind his own sodding business, has always been the logical end point for the patriarchal project that is TERFdom.

We are concerned about recent talk about cuts to the Cycle to Work Scheme. Though the scheme has some limits, where other forms of transport present barriers to Disabled people, cycling can for some be a method of independent travel that is supported through the Cycle To Work Scheme.
