transparentlyuk.bsky.social @transparentlyuk.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It doesn't cover much versus the previous situation. The sort of thing it would cover: A trans woman, perceived as a cis woman, is denied a promotion because her employer believes women are less suited to leadership; she is protected against sex discrimination based on that perception. 230
transparentlyuk.bsky.social @transparentlyuk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Agree with everything you have written, only thing to add is people will be protected based on the sex they are perceived as, e.g. if a trans woman is perceived to be a cis woman and then discriminated against because of this, they are still protected. It's little consolation though. 110
transparentlyuk.bsky.social @transparentlyuk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026This is exactly the problem with the EHRC’s framing. Trans people still have protections under the Equality Act. But that does not mean the Supreme Court judgment didn’t change their legal rights and status. transparentlyuk.substack.com/p/trans-peop...transparentlyuk.substack.comTrans People Have Lost Rights.

transparentlyuk.bsky.social @transparentlyuk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Trans people still have legal protections. That doesn’t mean they haven’t lost rights. The Supreme Court changed the legal position of trans people with GRCs under the Equality Act. The EHRC’s response seems to count only the protections that remain. transparentlyuk.substack.com/p/trans-peop...transparentlyuk.substack.comTrans People Have Lost Rights.

transparentlyuk.bsky.social @transparentlyuk.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The claim that Parliament never intended the Equality Act to treat trans people with GRCs as their acquired sex doesn’t survive contact with the parliamentary record. I’ve gone back to what MPs actually said when the legislation was debated. transparentlyuk.substack.com/p/what-parli...transparentlyuk.substack.comWhat Parliament IntendedSex, Gender Recognition and the Equality Act 020
