Force the government to rip up the EHRC’s transphobic guidance
It’s been a year since the Supreme Court's decision that accelerated the rollback of trans rights in the UK. It’s been a difficult year, but it’s also been a year of coming together and fighting back....

This is insane, but expected thanks to all that “clarity.”
One caller told the charity she was followed into the women's toilet, pushed into a cubicle and touched by two men. According to Chana, the men had justified it by saying the court "gave them a right to check if you're a man or woman"

They’re so desperate to call the success of puberty blockers a problem and refuse to acknowledge for even a moment the distress caused by not being on them.

In an attempt to reduce the amount of recycling we create, we have started using Lush shampoo bars and solid cosmetics. It's not the first time Red has tried this and she found an unidentified bar in the cupboard. Can anyone tell us what Red has just washed herself with? #showerpotato

The rot in the EHRC’s leadership goes far beyond the Chair. Exposed through FOIs, the bias of the Baroness turned a once heralded navigator of complex equality issues into a GERM-ridden genocidal machine. Well done @tacc.org.uk for shining a light up a very dark passage. tacc.org.uk/2025/07/01/f...

@natacha.bsky.social’s compelling study on the negative impact of the UK’s PB ban is heart-rending, damning, and brilliant. You can view it here, no paywall. Harming children: the effects of the UK puberty blocker ban www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10..... Please read. It’s important.
The evidence of any significant risk is so minimal that other gender identity services and professionals around the world have already discounted it.- Yet Cass and the government appear to have decided that this unquantified, unevidenced and minimal risk of something very minor is worth the absolute certainty, evidenced here, of the psychological damage, stress, anxiety and physical harm it will cause to thousands of children, as well as the increased risk of assault, bullying, social withdrawal and the likelihood of its victims falling behind in their schoolwork.

Ian Dunts' latest substack is a wonderful summary of Faulkners grilling by the Women and Equality Select Comission and picks apart the EHRC guidance and highlights why workplaces could be open to legal action if they follow it. A must-read for every UK trans. iandunt.substack.com/p/judgement-...
This was, simply put, the eradication of trans people from the country's social fabric. Most people cannot take a job if they have to out themselves to their colleagues whenever they need the loo. They will not go to a restaurant or the theatre or attend trade union meetings or go to church or see their child in a school play. The toilet issue is at once stupefyingly banal and yet existential.

Attacks on the trans community are relentless atm, from the Cass Scandel, the PB ban, CPS guidance and now this: www.gov.uk/government/p... Going to the EHRC for advice, that will probably end with the Equalities Act being changed to biological sex, rendering GRCs pointless.
