The Equalities Minister is due to carry out an Equality Impact Assessment of the EHRC's updated Code of Practice, in line with PSED. To help her with this critical analysis, @transactualuk.bsky.social sent her these impact reports: transactual.org.uk/impacts-of-t... She can't say she didn't know.

Photo of the two reports, wire bound and printed in bold colour (pink and blue). The first is titled Trans Segragationin Practice and the second is titled A Community Living in Fear.

Dear Bridget Phillipson,
We write to you as Minister for Women and Equalities responsible for approving the new EHRC Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions and Associations, before you lay it in Parliament. As part of this approval process, you have stated that you will carry out an Equality Impact Assessment, in line with your Public Sector Equality Duty.
To help you in this critical evaluation, we enclose here copies of our two reports: “A Community Living in Fear” and “Trans Segregation in Practice.” Together, these document the impact of the Supreme Court ruling and the EHRC’s guidance on members of the UK public, particularly (but not only) in relation to the protected characteristics of disability, gender reassignment, sex, and sexual orientation.
The findings are a stark and heart-breaking read.
Our first report, “A Community Living in Fear”, documents the reactions of LGBTQ+ people immediately following the Supreme Court ruling, and reveals the profound impact on this community. Many reported planning to flee the UK to safer countries; expressed fears of losing jobs and being driven out of public spaces by a constant stream of humiliation; and described panic attacks, anger, hopelessness, and a sense of reaching a breaking point after years of growing hatred and anti-trans persecution. Notably, these fears were not confined to the trans population, but were expressed by many gender-non-conforming people, too.
Sadly, these fears are not without foundation. Barely a week after the Supreme Court ruling, the EHRC published an “interim update” that led many UK workplaces, businesses and organisations to adopt extreme policies of exclusion and segregation for trans and non-binary people. This not only affects those with a GRC, but the hundreds of thousands of UK trans people who, until now, have lawfully accessed services according to self-identified gender due to the gender reassignment protected characteristic.

Our sister report, “Trans Segregation in Practice” presents testimonials of how these exclusionary policies are already playing out in practice. The narratives show trans people facing a “lose-lose” situation, with backlash whether they follow the EHRC guidance or not. The reported experiences of trans – and non-trans – people include: harassment and threats of violence; bullying in public and in the workplace; forced outing and invasive questioning; exclusion and segregation from places and services they were previously accepted and welcomed in; and being forced to chose between maintaining dignity and mental health, and pursuing public life and professional livelihoods.
For years, the trans+ community have been accused of hyperbole and hysteria when raising the alarm about threats to their rights and livelihoods. The SC judges themselves went to great lengths to inform the trans+ community that they would suffer no detriment or loss of protections from their seismic ruling.
It’s easy to say such things when you have no real understanding of trans people’s lives.
But by now you must know that it is no longer only trans people sounding the alarm. Concerns have been publicly raised by ILGA-Europe ; multiple UN Independent Experts ; the Council of Europe’s Commissioner for Human Rights ; the Scottish Government ; the Scottish Human Rights Commission ; Human Rights Watch ; and the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention , to name but a few.
Now that the EHRC have submitted their Code of Practice to you for approval, you and your department will be responsible for evaluating its impact on the entire UK community. The reports enclosed here constitute the best available evidence of the real-life effects of the EHRC’s interpretation of the Supreme Court judgement. As your department now conducts legal analysis of the human rights impact, and assessment as part of the Public Sector Equalities Duty, I trust that they will be read and considered by you and your team.

So yesterday I learned about Ava Cordero, a transgender woman who, in 2007, sued Jeffrey Epstein alleging he sexually abused her when she was 16. Her lawsuit was filed in 2007 while Epstein was negotiating a plea deal in Florida for abusing other girls, but her claims were mocked and dismissed

I was banner carrying so just one photo from Belfast Pride. There’s a concerted effort at censoring and erasing LGBTQ+ people from public life by U.K. Labour and the NI Stormont Executive Parties. Keir Starmer is fuelling a war on LGBTQ+ people for his own grubby political gain. We’re going nowhere.

“The word ‘transgender’ is only used in the title of the LGBT section, and is not found anywhere else in the document.” The censorship is institutionalised transphobia. Despite what courts/politicians claim, the term “biological sex” does not have a simple meaning. Young people deserve much better!

The EHRC – the body which is meant to protect our human rights – is proposing guidance which would turn the Equality Act into a bathroom ban. If this becomes law, it would force trans people out of public life. And terrifyingly - this is all happening behind closed doors 🧵

Don't let them take away our rights behind closed doors

The EHRC's proposed Code of Practice would devastate trans+ lives and put everybody at risk.

This trans bathroom ban is set to become law with no debate, no scrutiny and no vote in Parliament.

We have to act now.
