To Women & Equalities Committee
We, the undersigned, write to express serious and urgent concerns about the actions of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and the apparent unwillingness of the Women and Equalities Committee (WEC) to investigate them.

It is becoming increasingly clear that the EHRC is no longer operating as an impartial human rights body. Over the past several years, its leadership has shifted in a direction that appears ideologically driven, hostile to trans equality, and closely aligned with lobbying groups who advocate for the removal of legal protections for transgender people. These groups - including Sex Matters, Policy Exchange, and the LGB Alliance - have played a significant role in reshaping public discourse and influencing legal interpretations of the Equality Act 2010.

We are calling on the Women and Equalities Committee to launch an immediate and transparent inquiry into:

- The EHRC’s internal decision-making processes regarding the definition of “sex” under the Equality Act 2010;

- All communications, meetings, and correspondence between the EHRC and external lobbying organisations from 2020 to the present;

- The EHRC’s advice to government departments, ministers, and the courts—especially its role in shaping the outcome of For Women Scotland v The Lord Advocate [2024] UKSC 59.

As transgender people and allies, we are gravely concerned that this advice, and the EHRC’s developing policy stance have been influenced not by human rights or evidence, but by ideological lobbying and political convenience. We must understand who the EHRC has been speaking to, what was said, and why these decisions were made. Anything less is a dereliction of democratic oversight.

Open letter calling for an inquiry into the EHRC. I’ve just signed.

I thought, since Ive never really done a before and after post I'd do one for Trans Visability day.

Transitioning is just blosoming into yourself. It's real and it's beatuful and it's worth fighting for.

I just wanted to say a big that thank you to everyone who turned up yesterday and made the protest a success, and to everyone who couldn’t make it but found another way to support us.

I've just been elbow deep in shit, fixing a blocked drain.

Which reminds me...

A bunch of racists are marching in Nuneaton this Saturday.

Hope to see you there.

11am, Saturday, Nuneaton Train Station

One of the coolest gigs from the @comarossimusic.bsky.social tour, at Daltons. Loadout was directly onto Brighton beach!! Absolutely hacked it the whole time, but that's "live energy" for you 😅🥁

We don't understand her madness, but we will stand up against her hate, however many times she wants to come to town.

We'll keep you up to date when we get more information through, but if you are able to keep the weekend free to join us, that would be wonderful. Thanks all.

Please share! 🥰🏳️‍⚧️

Finally uploaded this silly metal track as a Christmas present for @armigerlux.bsky.social to my Spotify, - it's so old that it's still under the name Diane Galen! While waiting for the name to update, here are some silly heavy metal lyrics about how great my girlfriend is

To see TKDB being harassed this morning and needing to stop their protest is just disheartening. We at TACC stand firmly with the kids and in fact our younger members were bunking off college and schools on their own initiative this morning racing across London to join them.

Article 2: the right to life
Article 3: the prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment
Article 10: the freedom of expression

Council of Europe say puberty blocker trial could breach human rights #trans #news #transuk #transgender #uk TikTok video by Jessicaharriet🏳️‍⚧️♾️

Council of Europe (United Kingdom is still a member) says puberty blocker trial might violate the rights of the patient:

@jessicaharriet.bsky.social effectively conveys the immediate necessity to stop the trial and establish regulations to prevent the future introduction of blockers!
