WHEN DID THE EXCEPTION BECOME THE RULE? Single-sex services are permitted under the Equality Act in particular circumstances. But are we increasingly treating the exception as the default? #EqualityAct #TransRights

TRANS PEOPLE ARE STILL HERE 🏳️‍⚧️ It’s been encouraging to see solidarity from colleagues and institutions across Europe at #ELLA2026. At a difficult time for trans people in the UK, that international support matters. How can we keep building solidarity across borders? #TransRights #Solidarity

What does a GRC actually mean after For Women Scotland? A trans person can now be legally recognised as one sex for some purposes, while treated as another under the Equality Act. Has the law created an “intermediate zone” of legal recognition? #TransRights #EqualityAct

What happens when the law forces complex questions of sex and gender into rigid binary categories? At #ELLA2026, I spoke about where this leaves trans, non-binary and intersex people following For Women Scotland. How do we move beyond the binary?

The rollback of trans and non-binary protections should concern all of us. Minority rights don’t exist in isolation. If one group’s protections can be rolled back, others cannot assume their rights are permanently secure. Solidarity matters. #TransRights #HumanRights #Solidarity

WHAT DOES THE EHRC CODE SAY ABOUT NON-BINARY PEOPLE? Despite the headlines, the Code does appear to recognise protections for at least some non-binary and genderfluid people. So what does that mean in practice? Here it is in 6 points. #EHRC #NonBinary #GenderFluid

ARE GRCs NOW MEANINGLESS? After For Women Scotland, a trans person with a GRC can be recognised as their acquired sex for some legal purposes, but treated according to biological sex under the Equality Act. So what is the function of a GRC now? #TransRights #GRC #EqualityAct

9 RED FLAGS I’D NEVER IGNORE AT WORK 🚩 A red flag doesn’t automatically mean your employer has done something unlawful. Employment law is highly fact-specific, so the context and circumstances matter. But these are 9 things I’d always pay attention to. What’s your biggest workplace red flag? 👀

TRANS PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONFINED TO THE SHADOWS I’ve heard from people who are now scared to go out in public, or are avoiding drinking water because they’re worried about using a toilet. Whatever the legal debate around the EHRC guidance, we can’t ignore its human impact. #TransRights #EHRC

Schedule 3 of the Equality Act permits separate or single-sex services in certain circumstances. But these are exceptions, not a blanket rule. The key question is proportionality and the particular circumstances. Are we losing sight of that? #EqualityAct #TransRights #UKLaw

I spoke with Tom Nicholas about the purpose of the EHRC guidance. It is intended to help service providers navigate these issues in practice. But an important distinction matters: guidance can be taken into account, but it is not itself binding law. #EHRC #EqualityAct #TransRights
