Given that the 'full' guidance will be issued later in the year, surely all this legal effort needs to be given to that, rather than the 'interim' guidance that has now already been replaced by the full guidance? Won't you have to do all this later in year again? Am I missing something ?

This shit will and is going to the ECHR, he and his cnting government will be forced, again, to legislate to correctly recognise our legal gender recognition, just as with Goodwin vs UK. He damn well knows this as a human rights lawyer.

Here is the UK losing on Article 8 in Goodwin (from the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights). I can't show you where the Supreme Court didn't deal with it in For Some Women Scotland because it didn't deal with it.

Why did Labour reappoint as Chair someone so woefully equipped?

Wild stuff from Kishwer Falkner: the UK lost on Article 8 in Goodwin and the Supreme Court in For Some Women Scotland did not agree that Article 8 didn't apply - it didn't address Article 8 at all.

Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia “In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning.

- <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT.
- The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia.

How to respond to the EHRC consultation Good Law Project has taken advice from a leading public law King’s Counsel on how to respond to the EHRC’s consultation. What follows is a form which, after you complete it, will automatically be sent...

The EHRC Guidance is a wicked exercise in removing rights from trans people - and is bad too for employers and service providers, those outside gender norms, people with disabilities and the economy.

We've created a tool to make it easy to respond. Please use and share. goodlaw.social/9e59e9

13.57 If a service provider provides single- or separate sex services for women and men, or provides services differently to women and men, they should treat transsexual people according to the gender role in which they present. However, the Act does permit the service provider to provide a different service or exclude a person from the service who is proposing to undergo, is undergoing or who has undergone gender reassignment. This will only be lawful where the exclusion is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate.

There are circumstances where a lawfully-established separate or single-sex service provider can prevent, limit or modify trans people’s access to the service. This is allowed under the Act. However, limiting or modifying access to, or excluding a trans person from, the separate or single-sex service of the gender in which they present might be unlawful if you cannot show such action is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim. This applies whether the person has a Gender Recognition Certificate or not.

You will need to balance the interests of trans people with those of other service users. Does the reason for limiting access or excluding trans people from your service outweigh any discriminatory effects of the treatment? (i.e. the impact on trans people of exclusion is outweighed by the impact on other users if they were included) If it doesn’t, it might be unlawful to exclude a trans person from the single sex service of the gender in which they present or limit their access to the service. If it does, it is likely to be lawful to exclude a trans person from the single sex service of the gender in which they present or modify or limit their access to the service. You should always balance and take account of the needs of different groups.

Overall, 404 individual pieces of guidance which fit the response criteria outlined on the call for input gov.uk page were submitted. After reviewing these examples, we found that the majority seem to correctly interpret the Equality Act’s single-sex spaces provisions. In some cases, guidance reflected the organisation’s own policy to allow those with the ‘gender reassignment’ protected characteristic access to single-sex spaces that correspond with their self-identified gender, but did not incorrectly suggest that this is mandated by the Act. Had organisations suggested that their policy was mandated by the Act, however, this would have been a clear misinterpretation of the law.

Trans people were lied to??
Using services based on “self ID” (the gender role in which they present) regardless of GRC is right there in the EHRC’s 2011 Code of Practice.
It’s in the EHRC’s own 2022 guidance.
The Labour Gov recognised this too a matter of months ago.
This is horrific gaslighting.

🚨 Important Action 🚨

Here is a brand new draft letter to your MP, which you should absolutely be sending, based on yesterday's statement from UN experts.

Please send and share!

These concerns have been expressed by numerous UN experts.

As they make clear, it is imperative that law-makers fix this backslide on human rights, which will make us an international outlier.

It's up to the Government to act, immediately.

The experts recalled that the UK has previously been found in violation of the European Convention on Human Rights for failing to provide adequate legal recognition for trans individuals, leading to the adoption of the Gender Recognition Act in 2004. They warned that, without corrective changes to law and policy, the current ruling could lead to similar legal challenges being reopened. “The law must be clear, coherent, and consistent with international human rights standards,” the experts said. “We urge UK lawmakers to act decisively to reform and align the legal framework in a way that ensures dignity, equality, and non-discrimination for all.”

The UN Experts warn that without corrective changes to law and policy, the UK could once again be found to be violating trans people's human rights.

While the EHRC claims to be interpreting the Equality Act 2010 in line with recent Supreme Court precedent, its approach raises serious legal concerns under other legislation.

The EHRC’s draft Code of Practice doesn’t just threaten trans rights, it may breach UK law and human rights protections.

From the Equality Act 2006 to the ECHR, we break down how this guidance could lead to legal violations and institutional discrimination.

The wheels are falling off the false EHRC guidance | Good Law Project The EHRC said that the law was clear. So why do they want so much time to clarify it?

Already the wheels are falling off the false – at best – EHRC guidance on the For Women Scotland decision.
