How often, and in what ways, are disabled people included in research -- especially as researchers, not just as participants, or subjects? And what can researchers do about it? This York Uni toolkit might help. docs.google.com/document/d/1ebZ0tI2…

“Mary-Ann Stephenson, chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), said criticism of its updated code of practice had made the "real alarm" felt by trans people worse by wrongly suggesting they had lost protections or would face sex checks.” Has she read her Equality Impact Assessment?

Summary of EHRC EIA
EHRC acknowledges that there are potentially negative impacts for those with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment from the updates to the Code as a result of how service providers implement
FWS.
They state that whilst this may have a negative impact on trans people with a GRC (current or future certificate holders), their view is that it is important the guidance accurately reflects the correct legal position.
EHRC note that these updates reflect the law and will facilitate a better understanding of legal obligations and entitlements. These changes aim
to mitigate the risk of unlawful discrimination or harassment by helping service providers balance the benefits, needs and impacts across potential user groups. Subsequently, this will assist providers in determining whether separate or single-sex provision meets the proportionality test. They state they sought to limit any negative effect in accessing services for those with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment by advising service providers to consider alternatives and mitigations to separate and single-sex services.
OEO additional impact assessment
As set out in EHRC's ElA, the updates to the Code are expected to have a significant impact on people with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment. In addition to the concerns detailed in that EIA, there are further impacts to note as follows.
Exclusion: The updated Chapter 13 provides guidance on when it is lawful to exclude trans people from services aligned with their acquired gender (e.g. domestic violence refuges, hospital wards, and changing rooms) based on their biological sex. It also covers competitive sport which may leave trans people with access to sport. Chapter 12 also provides guidance on restricting membership to an association based on those sharing one or more protected characteristics. Some organisations such as the Women's Institute and Girl Guiding have already made the decision to restrict…

'Double exclusion': It is possible that trans people could be barred from both the space aligned with their gender (because of their sex) and the space aligned with their birth sex because of possessing the protected characteristic of gender reassignment), effectively leaving them with no service at all.
Alternative provision: While the Code states it is "unlikely to be proportionate" to leave a trans person with no service (especially for essentials like toilets), providers may lack the funding or space to offer
'third-space' or gender-neutral alternatives.
Involuntary disclosure: New guidance explains how service providers can request information about an individual's sex at birth. This may force trans people to "out" themselves in public or professional settings.
Similarly trans people have expressed concern - as in the Good Law Project litigation against EHRC - that having to use disabled toilets will
'out' them.
Policing of gender: Potential 'policing' of gender presentation, which could lead to increased harassment for trans people and cisgender people who do not conform to traditional gender stereotypes.
Safeguarding risks: Concern that excluding trans women from female services could mean they have to use male services, where they could face a disproportionate risk of violence and sexual assault (although this will depend on the nature of the service in question).
Relations between groups: The debate on single sex services and the treatment of trans people is particularly divisive at this time. The Code of Practice may exacerbate these tensions. This may be somewhat mitigated through careful communications surrounding the Code's publication.
Our assessment is therefore that the likely impacts on gender reassignment as a characteristic are negative, in relation to each of the 3 limbs of the PSED. Mitigating factors are the ability of service providers to create 'third-space' provision for trans people, and the guidance in the Code on when it is, and is not, p…

It's actually right next to it in the updated code of practice

Examples of stereotypes in relation to religion or belief are that persons who
hold or manifest certain gender-critical beliefs necessarily have negative
attitudes towards trans people, or that persons who hold or manifest the belief
that same-sex sexual activity is sinful necessarily have negative attitudes
towards gay people. The judgment explains that: ‘it may be that some persons
who hold / manifest such beliefs have such animus, but it is stereotyping to
assume that all do.’3

Unlike Section 28, these rules are spread across a myriad of documents, which will make it harder for LGBTQIA+ groups to fight to overturn their harmful impacts Read our full analysis 👇

Section 28 2.0 begins
Children in England are back at school, in a new era of strict rules on what teachers can say about LGBTQIA+ identities.
Schools have begun implementing guidance and curricula which require them to segregate Trans+ pupils, while teachers are banned from “encouraging” pupils from ‘questioning their gender’. Many view the new rules as directly parallel to Section 28, the now-revoked law that banned schools and local authorities from “promoting” gay identities until 2003.
