My advice for the EHRC Consultation is still to hold fire. If you're in an organisation, by all means start collating information on how this is likely to impact service users and employees, and even start drafting, but I wouldn't submit anything just yet.

the idea that you can just talk bigots out of bigotry if you try hard enough is bullshit.
in fact I'd argue from personal experience that pushing back on them directly like that gives them the opportunity to play resistance and only further entrenches them in hateful belief systems.

They must issue an unreserved apology for the risk of harm caused to the LGBTQI+ community or face legal action.
