it’s incredible to me that the majority of MPs hate trans people enough that they don’t care that the Supreme Court changed the law from what our sovereign parliament intended it to be

I don’t think anything sums up how ridiculous the new EHRC guidance is than the fact it describes those protected by the characteristic of gender reassignment to be those undergoing a process to “reassign their sex”, a thing the exact same part of the document says isn’t legally possible. Nonsense.
Gender reassignment
2.36 The Act defines gender reassignment as a protected characteristic (section 7, paragraph 1). People who are proposing to undergo, are undergoing or have undergone a process (or part of a process) to reassign their sex by changing physiological or other attributes of sex have the protected characteristic of gender reassignment.Gender Recognition Certificates (GRC)
2.49 The Supreme Court in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers (For Women Scotland) [2025] UKSC 16 has ruled that a GRC does not change a person's legal sex for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010. The judgment held that 'sex', ‘woman' and 'man' mean, respectively, biological sex, biological
woman and biological man for the purposes of the Equality Act. The judgment uses the expression 'biological sex' to describe the sex of a person at birth.
The phrase 'biological sex' has the same meaning when used throughout this
Code. This is also referred to as 'sex at birth' in this Code.

1/🧵 The EHRC draft Code misstates the law and incites “bathroom bounty law” actions against service-providers. It recommends but does not demand segregation of trans people.
13.130

If a service provider (or a person providing a service in the exercise of public functions) admits trans people to a service intended for the opposite sex, then it can no longer rely on the exceptions set out at paragraphs 13.99 to 13.111.
This means that if a service is provided only to women and trans women or only to men and trans men, it is not a separate-sex or single-sex service under the Equality Act 2010.

13.131

A service like this is very likely to amount to unlawful sex discrimination against the people of the opposite sex who are not allowed to use it. A service which is provided to women and trans women could also be unlawful sex discrimination or lead to unlawful harassment against women who use the service. Similar considerations would apply to a service provided for men and trans men. It is possible to offer a mixed-sex service alongside a single-sex service. A mixed-sex service must be open to all service users.Equality and Human Rights

An important takeaway – the High Court has made clear that the Code of Practice has gotten the law wrong. It will need to be rejected by the Minister.

Let’s be clear about who is responsible for trans girls being excluded from the Guides. Keir Starmer 100% He could have overturned the injustice of the flawed Supreme Court any time, but CHOSE not to. So he is responsible for these girls being harmed. There’s a word for adults who harm children.

We have been tracking people’s experiences with gendered spaces and our new report looks at the impact of the 2025 EHRC interim update on access to, and experiences within, gendered spaces in the UK.
Image shows a row of toilet stalls with blue doors. Text reads: " I went to use the women's toilets as I was on my period and there were no gender neutral ones. A middle aged male security guard ran in after me…he started banging on the [cubicle] door, trying to open it as he shouted "sir, sir you can't be in here”... hearing the pitch of my voice was enough for him to drop it and leave. But I sat in the toilet feeling scared, vulnerable and dirty for a good few minutes." -a non-binary person tinyurl.com/ReportALoo
Image shows a sign hanging from the ceiling that says 'WC' and has male and female toilet symbols. Text reads: “ A few months ago in a local LGBTQ+ owned bar, I went into the men's toilets and another guy looked at me and then yelled "You’re in the wrong toilet" in my face at close range.” -a transmasc person tinyurl.com/ReportALooImage shows multicoloured soft play mats and apparatus. Text reads: "I was supervising my 5 year old disabled son, who was in the establishment’s soft play area. My son soiled himself and so I stood to take him to the facilities. However, when I made to head to the bathroom a woman who I assume to be in a senior role quickly came towards us and blocked my progress, pointing at the men’s toilets and advising me that “The gentlemen’s are there.” -a disabled, trans woman 
(who had been making her 
way to the accessible toilet) tinyurl.com/ReportALooImage shows 3 toilet signs one accessible, one women's and baby changing and one men's. Text reads: "I was stopped going into a bathroom by another tourist who stated that “these are the women’s toilets”. I stated that I am a woman and therefore using the ‘correct’ toilet for my gender. This is the most recent example of me being harassed going into a toilet in the past year. Which has gone from never to 6 incidents now." -a cis, butch dyke tinyurl.com/ReportALoo
