I’ve written, alongside colleagues, to the Minister for Women & Equalities about the appointment of the new EHRC Chair.

We share the concerns that both the JCHR and WEC had during the pre-appointment hearing.

The EHRC urgently needs to rebuild trust with all communities.

Cutest clients have me the cutest champagne to day! Feels good when things go right 🙏🫶😅

Do you have Article 8 privacy rights? And what does that actually mean?

What does it mean to be treated with dignity and respect?

DOES THE SUPREME COURT RULING AFFECT EVERYBODY?

Is bodily policing really the way forward?

Would you write to your MP to express your concerns?

💫Our Oscar Davies @nonbinarybarrister.bsky.social speaks on embracing identity at @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social championing the rights of minority groups & more.

As the UK’s first publicly recognised non-binary barrister, Oscar is paving the way for LGBTQ+ rights in the UK.

This summary of @nonbinarybarrister.bsky.social's recent article is a great primer for how the counterattack on anti-trans lawfare must proceed:

- Interrogate innocuous-seeming beliefs
- Shift emphasis from beliefs to harm
- Explicate the harm and its violation of trans people's rights.

Are UK Courts Getting Gender Critical Cases Wrong? Oscar Davies critiques recent rulings on gender critical beliefs, warning they risk undermining trans rights.

“Tribunals must ask: What is the actual belief being protected? Does it infringe on the rights of others,particularly trans & non-binary individuals? Without this deeper analysis the legal system risks legitimizing anti-trans views under the guise of protected belief” @nonbinarybarrister.bsky.social

🌈✨ On International Non-Binary People’s Day, I’m proud to share my collab with Thrive Law ✨🌈

The law still fails to fully recognise and protect trans and non-binary people - but it can be a tool for liberation if we push it to evolve.

Had a great time with my ADHD partner in crime Jodie Hill at THE GBLO, ‘Bigger, Badder, Braver’ where we tackled the spa, dinner, robots, monster trucks and finally a speech together! We discussed:

- Why might you not bring your full self to work?
- How could that harm your firm or client base?

What would your advice be for someone struggling right now with their gender or their sexuality?

I got to speak to the fabulous Ella Morgan and Michael Gunning for Pride in London on Saturday…

IMPORTANT 🚨

The Lemkin institute recently issued a red flag alert for trans and intersex people in the UK. Please write to your MP about this.

It seems very à la mode these days to be dressing up transphobia as something else. So let’s call a spade a spade!

NB: for the avoidance of doubt, I am NOT a judge but a barrister (and no, judges do NOT have gavels in UK)…

It was so great to speak to Meg Hillier MP yesterday on the mass trans lobby. So amazing to see and speak with so many trans ppl and supporters.

#parliament #masslobby #transrights #humanrights

@rozkaveney.bsky.social hey Roz! Sorry we didn’t get to say bye yesterday but it was great to meet you and would love to discuss more soon. Hope the play and dim sum was great! Oscar

📢Oscar Davies @nonbinarybarrister.bsky.social has successfully represented an employee in the Employment Appeal Tribunal.

⚖️The Judgment clarifies nuanced distinction between granting amendments and extending time under the Equality Act 2010. 👇

MPs take historic first step to defend reproductive rights | Good Law Project Women could no longer face the threat of prosecution for taking decisions about their lives and their families – but the fight is far from over

So glad that the Commons has agreed an amendment to partially decriminalise abortion. But this is just a first step, the fight isn't over.

Why are there so few trans and non-binary barristers?

Aw thank you 🫶

Thank you! 🙏

🎉 Last night I won the @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social Changemaker Award 🏆

Change doesn’t happen on its own, it takes noise, nudges, and not backing down.
So let’s keep using our voices 🗣️✨

#KingsCollegeLondon #NonbinaryBarrister #QueerJoy #ActivistLawyer #Alumni #Pride #transrights #HumanRights

I watched the Committee today, and the state the EHRC has ended up in is shameful. Unable to answer basic questions and making outrageous comments about trans people's human rights.

It's time for us to intervene. And we can do that by turning up in Parliament and telling MPs to take action.

Can Pride Be Banned?

Maybe a better question is, if you want to ban Pride: why does someone else’s joy feel like your oppression?
