THE PEGGIE JUDGMENT IS OUT + THE RESULT IS NOT HOW MEDIA IS PRESENTING IT This case doesn’t say employers can’t allow trans women to use women’s changing rooms. 
Quite the opposite: FWS doesn’t make that inherently unlawful. It all depends on context. #EmploymentLaw #EqualityAct #WorkplaceInclusion

The Council of Europe has warned that the UK gov’s treatment of trans people may breach human rights law. This must be a wake up call. We’ve seen an increase in hostility towards trans in recent years. Everyone deserves dignity, safety, & respect - that includes trans people.

📣🏳️‍⚧️ Call for Papers We are inviting papers for our special issue, “Feminist Responses to the Regression of Trans Rights: Strategies, Alliances, Hope.” The issue will be dedicated to trans-inclusive feminist legal analysis that addresses attacks on trans rights & lives. Details below. Please share.
Call for Papers: Special Issue of Feminist Legal Studies 

Feminist Responses to the Regression of Trans Rights: Strategies, Alliances, Hope

Amidst continuing backlash against trans rights, recognition and inclusion, two recent decisions from the UK have substantially impacted not only trans people’s legal status but also legal and social narratives of sex, gender and identity. The narrative that trans inclusion has a chilling effect on the rights of others, particularly women, has been adopted uncritically by both the UK Supreme Court in For Women Scotland and the Office for Students in its finding that the University of Sussex’s trans-inclusion policy had a chilling effect on free speech. These cases highlight a backlash that has been ongoing for some time, and sparks debates and fear of what may lie in the near future for trans people and kin, as well as other gender-variant persons, not only in the UK, but across jurisdictions and in a global perspective. The discourse of the ‘gender critical’ movement is splintering both the feminist and LGBT+ movements globally, with some aligning politically with the Far- and Christian Right against trans rights, adopting their terminology of ‘gender ideology’ and potentially posing a wider threat to sexual and reproductive rights.  

While this a difficult situation for trans people, kin and allies, this special issue seeks to emphasise that legal battles – including battles (temporarily) lost – are also an opportunity to seek to reinforce old alliances and to form new ones, to find new legal frontiers and imaginaries, to reinforce the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of legal arguments as well as intergenerational memory of what feminist legal work is, has been and should be about. How, we ask, do these decisions (and those like them globally) reflect and reproduce structures of coloniality, heteronormativity and cisnormativity? What do these decisions add to critiques of legal feminism? What would be construct…

Open letter calling for an inquiry into the EHRC. I’ve just signed. organise.network/actions/peti...
Screenshot from the above webpage.



To Women & Equalities Committee
We, the undersigned, write to express serious and urgent concerns about the actions of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and the apparent unwillingness of the Women and Equalities Committee (WEC) to investigate them.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the EHRC is no longer operating as an impartial human rights body. Over the past several years, its leadership has shifted in a direction that appears ideologically driven, hostile to trans equality, and closely aligned with lobbying groups who advocate for the removal of legal protections for transgender people. These groups - including Sex Matters, Policy Exchange, and the LGB Alliance - have played a significant role in reshaping public discourse and influencing legal interpretations of the Equality Act 2010.

We are calling on the Women and Equalities Committee to launch an immediate and transparent inquiry into:

- The EHRC’s internal decision-making processes regarding the definition of “sex” under the Equality Act 2010;

- All communications, meetings, and correspondence between the EHRC and external lobbying organisations from 2020 to the present;

- The EHRC’s advice to government departments, ministers, and the courts—especially its role in shaping the outcome of For Women Scotland v The Lord Advocate [2024] UKSC 59.

As transgender people and allies, we are gravely concerned that this advice, and the EHRC’s developing policy stance have been influenced not by human rights or evidence, but by ideological lobbying and political convenience. We must understand who the EHRC has been speaking to, what was said, and why these decisions were made. Anything less is a dereliction of democratic oversight.

Did I ever post up the letter I got from Kemi Badenoch in 2020? The one where she says the Tory government had no interest in curtailing the use of gendered spaces by transgender people? I think I did not.
Dr Hipwell raises concerns about access to single sex spaces for trans people. We know
that for many years, transgender men and women have been able to use facilities of their
chosen gender and the Government has no interest in curtailing this. However, the
Government believes that the protection of single-sex spaces, as provided for in the
Equality Act, is important. We reiterated in the recent GRA announcement that the Equality
Act provides crucial protections for single-sex spaces and makes it clear that providers
have the right to restrict the use of spaces on the basis of sex, and exclude transgender
people, with or without a Gender Recognition Certificate, if this is justified. I believe that
this strikes the right balance.
Dr Hipwell also raises concerns about long waiting times for Gender Identity Services. We
are taking meaningful action to address the historic problems that have resulted in long
waiting times. Your constituent may like to know that NHS England have increased funding
in specialised gender services by around 50% over the last few years. They will establish
at least three new gender identity clinics over 2020/21, with the first of these opened by
the Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust in July. This is the first service of its
kind established in the NHS in England for around 20 years. The opening of these new
clinics will lead to a reduction of around 1,600 patients waiting by 2022. The increases in
clinical capacity will lead to greater patient choice, shorter waiting times, better
geographical coverage and easier access.
I hope this information is helpful.
Yours sincerely Kemi Badenoch
