Yesterday, the Secretary to the University of Edinburgh emailed all staff (many on strike) about UoE's Dignity and Respect policy: "offensive and personal attacks are never acceptable". Meanwhile, a student received this response from THE PRINCIPAL to their email supporting the strike.

“A rapidly expanding network of organisations campaigning against trans rights is shaping media coverage and political debate across the UK, while trans people are increasingly excluded from reporting about their own lives.” Powerful conservative groups orchestrate much of our transphobic politics.

Ok, so here's the real headlines from the newly-published BMA critique of Cass: 1) the evidence being weak means it does not clearly support treatment withdrawal either; 2) the policy decisions by NHS and government went beyond what Cass recommended;

Already seeing some terrible takes on here about supporting science re the puberty blocker trial. Science that is unethical & designed terribly, influenced by those who don't want us to exist, is never ever going to lead to useful outcomes. & this trial will cause immense harm to participants.

This is important, imo. The draft code doesn't state that trans exclusion is mandatory. It just keeps saying trans exclusion is lawful while avoiding talking about inclusion as lawful. Stuff in the papers suggesting otherwise is mostly just trying to create a perception of a law that doesn't exist.

Today, the EHRC are supposedly launching a consultation on their plans for trans segregation. To mark the occasion, I've been looking at my notes from 2009. As part of consultations for the Equality Bill, the EHRC held multiple meetings with all affected groups - including of course trans people.

Scan of agenda for a meeting with the Equality and Human Rights Commission, covered in notes. The agenda reads as follows. Equality Bill roundtable discussion - Trans. Time: 2:30 to 4:30pm. Date: 20 October 2009. Location: EHRC Board Room, 2nd floor, 3 More Street London, Riverside, Tooley Street, London. Agenda. 1. Welcome, introductions, and opening. 2. Potential amendments to the bill: definition of protected characteristics, harassment, single-sex services, insurance services, genuine occupational qualifications. 3. Equality Bill Guidance. 4. Strategy for influencing. 5. AOB / close.
