🚨 The EHRC has withdrawn advice to segregate Trans+ from website, and told businesses to seek legal advice 👇 The move comes amid approval for a draft code which largely advises the same, but campaign group the Good Law Project says businesses who continue to follow could face legal action 🧵

Screenshot of EHRC website that reads:

The draft code was submitted to the Minister for Women and Equalities for approval on 4 September 2025. The next stage is for a draft code, as approved by her, to be laid before Parliament.

On 15 October 2025, we wrote to the minister to ask for:

an update on that process
the revocation of the 2011 version of the code, as it is now out of date in various respects
Given these important developments, we have removed the interim update from our website. Duty bearers should:

continue to take specialist legal advice, as before, on their obligations under any relevant legislation, including the Equality Act 2010 and Human Rights Act 1998
use the new code when it is approved by Parliament

A person with short platinum blond hair, glasses, and a pinstripe suit sits confidently in a black barber’s chair. Their right hand rests on their chin, and their left arm drapes casually over the chair. They wear black loafers, and their legs are splayed. The lighting is moody and dramatic, casting strong shadows on the wooden floor and the deep blue-grey backdrop. The word "UNCUT" is prominently displayed in large, bold white letters at the top, with the subtitle "A Celebration of Queer Identity" and the tagline "NO EDITS · NO APOLOGIES · JUST US." The name "Beck (they/them)" appears in the lower-left corner, and "By Chris Jepson" is written in the lower-right.
