Not one PoC amongst EG or RPS staff... EG is just a sea of white staff. www.eurogamer.net/authors RPS also doesn't have any female staff on their authors page www.rockpapershotgun.com/authors There are freelancers on both, but that is a gender&race pay disparity compared to being employed.

So Edinburgh Council were full of shit. They fully intend to comply with the transphobic EHRC guidance.
Draft Policy Statement Hygiene Facilities City of Edinburgh Council
1. Background
1.1 n 5 August 2026, the Equality and Human Rights Commission's updated Code of Practice on Services. Public Functions and Associations (the "Services Code" came into effect. The majority of the changes to this Code of Practice are to accoun for the Supreme Court's decision in For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers (the "Supreme Court Ruling") that, for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010 (the "201C Act"), the term 'sex' refers to a person's sex assigned at birth only. That decisior has required changes to a number of sections of the Services Code, but its largest impact is seen in relation to the provision of single-sex services
1.2 These changes willimpact a number of areas; however, one of the most prevalen is the provision of hygiene facilities. As a result of the Supreme Court Judgement vhere single-sex toilets are offered, transgender and non-binary persons are no able to use the toilet associated with their affirmed gender and may not be able to use the toilet associated with their sex assigned at birth. Alternative provision may therefore be required to ensure that transgender and non-binary persons are not lef without a facility to use.
1.3 The Council has therefore undertaken a review of its hygiene facilities across ove 500 buildings across 282 sites to understand what is currently offered and inforr any changes that may be required. This draft policy document outlines the proposed principles which will be used when determining from that review what changes are required to the Council's buildings. The Council is seeking to engage on this draf policy with any groups that may have insight into the impact these changes may have.
1.4 This draft policy statement aligns with the decision of the Council's Policy anc Sustainability Committee on item 8.5 at its meeting of 18 August 2026. It is intended that this draft policy statement (along with details of any engagement in respe…2. Draft Policy Statement Hygiene Facilities 
2.1 The Council intends to review its hygiene facilities in line with the following 
principles: 
2.1.1 Where single-sex hygiene facilities are required by law (e.g. by the School 
Premises (Requirements and Standards) (Scotland) Regulations 1967) 
these will be provided. 
2.1.2 Hygiene facilities with multiple cubicles and a shared sink area will be 
designated as single-sex, to ensure that privacy is afforded while using 
these facilities. 
2.1.3 Hygiene facilities (other than accessible facilities) where a sink and toilet 
are provided in a single fully enclosed lockable cubicle will be designated as 
gender-neutral, to maximise the facilities open for all to use.
2.1.4 The Council will (as far as is proportionate) ensure that all of its buildings 
have at least one gender-neutral hygiene facility, to ensure persons are not 
left without a facility to use. Where demand for facilities is such that a 
building requires additional gender-neutral facilities, this will be considered 
and provided where proportionate. 
2.1.5 The Council will (unless practically unfeasible or financially
disproportionate) provide gender-neutral hygiene facilities in addition to 
existing accessible facilities, in order not to reduce the ability of those with 
accessibility needs to access those facilities. 
2.2 Any changes needed across the Council’s estate will be assessed on a location-bylocation basis in order to take into consideration unique circumstances, such as the 
age and fabric and use of a building and which options for adaptation represent best 
value. 
2.3 Consultation and engagement will not routinely take place for each building or 
location, but may be necessary where options for adaptation are complex, 
prohibitively expensive or where it is otherwise considered appropriate.

Same in the UK. You either stand for equal rights for all and get my vote or don't and I cheer as you fail. There is no "we need to do a little fascism to get power", that's just fascism with extra weaselling, and you deserve nothing but failure for thinking it.

When I lived in the UK none of my concerns e.g. affordable housing, climate action, increases in welfare spending, scrapping tuition fees, an ethical foreign policy, were ever framed as legitimate concerns. lnstead I was routinely told to fuck off by most political parties for having such concerns.

A dark day for human rights.
four frame comic. first frame shows the logo of amnesty international. second frame shows jk rowling, smiling in the dark. third frame shows an empty classroom, with a pride poster almost falling from the wall. fourth frame shows a trans flag flying in the wind. text above all the images reads : 
on july 8th, amnesty Inter-
national uk published a report
titled “A Growing Threat: The
Anti-Rights Movement in the UK.”
it listed 117 orgs, including anti-
trans and anti-queer ones
backed by jk rowling.
the backlash was immediate
and brutal : rowling pledged
to cover the fees of anyone
who wished to sue amnesty.
the report was taken down
within 48 hours.
this morning (july 31st), amnesty
fully capitulated and released
an apology to anti-trans orgs,
which, it said, should not have
been "collectively labelled as
anti-rights". rowling
celebrated.
an organisation that
bravely faced fascist regimes
and reported human rights
violations for 65 years has caved
to rowling's power and bigotry.
it's a dark day for human rights.
