MPs fear UK equality watchdog may take months to sign off gender guidance
Exclusive: EHRC insiders believe process could drag on until after its chair is replaced in November
After recent revelations about the EHRC thanks to @tacc.org.uk this is no surprise. The EHRC is toast. Resign, Baroness Falkner, its over. Did you inform the Supreme Court that EHRC met & liaised with the GCIM over your guidance before the court case? Do answer.

Please see above.
Sex Matters were central to the Supreme Court decision, plus they have huge influence on EHRC.
Parliament & the public must understand this is an *anti-trans hate group* whoseโฆ

We'd also like to see messages or signs from employers or service providers that stop trans people using single sex spaces.

hello venues, LGBTQ+ clubs and organisations, workplaces and pals
Social posts and posters are nice, but we need you to write to the EHRC and tell them their new guidance (see next slides) doesn't work for you
They can't tell people how to run a gay or lesbian club. And they can't make you be toilet cops. Please tell them it doesn't work for you. A quick email or phone call will help a lot.
From the EHRC interim guidance:
In workplaces and services that are open to the public:
โข trans women (biological men) should not be permitted to use the women's facilities and trans men (biological women) should not be permitted to use the men's facilities, as this will mean that they are no longer single-sex facilities and must be open to all users of the opposite sex
โข in some circumstances the law also allows trans women (biological men) not to be permitted to use the men's facilities, and trans men (biological woman) not to be permitted to use the women's facilities
From Phoenix: If we pass too well, we aren't allowed in either gendered toilet or changing room. It's not fair to segregate us, never mind the impact on disabled people if abled trans people use their facilities
From the EHRC interim guidance:
Membership of an association of 25 or more people can be limited to men only or women only and can be limited to people who each have two protected characteristics. It can be, for example, for gay men only or lesbian women only. A women-only or lesbian-only association should not admit trans women (biological men), and a men-only or gay men-only association should not admit trans men (biological women).
From Phoenix:
If you run a gay or lesbian club, night, bar, sauna, reading group, walking group etc - the EHRC say you have to exclude trans people or include cishets. Freedom of association is under threat
Time is of the essence. They're going to make this guidance statutory and Parliament will make that law soon. We will try to help with template letters etc, but your initial objections should be logged NOW.
We love you, you need to speak up.
Time is of the essence and we need to fight the EHRC interim guidance before it becomes statutory and Parliament make it law.
Donโt just shout about it, write to them. Also tell the media, if you can get them to care. Iโve posted this on Instagram.
Speak to your unions and staff networks at work

I had given up on there being anyone worth while in labour. Really made my day to hear you speak within this video! All I can say is thank you!
