Equality Amplified

We’re writing to Marks & Spencer to raise serious concerns about their handling of a trans staff member who was targeted for simply doing her job. We’ll be publishing our open letter shortly. No one’s dignity should be up for debate. #TransRights #StandWithTransStaff

These companies are making grave mistakes. Aligning with a ruling that actively harms trans people is not neutrality, it’s complicity. The fact it’s being cheered on by JK Rowling tells you exactly how exclusionary and cruel this moment is. Reconsider your values, Merlin.

The EHRC’s appointment of Dr. Mary-Ann Stevenson, a figure with known anti-trans views, makes clear it no longer serves all people. Equality Amplified no longer recognises the EHRC as a human rights body.

🚨 We’re disgusted, but not surprised. Labour has now fully sided with anti-trans voices. Bridget Phillipson just appointed gender-critical Dr Mary-Ann Stevenson as EHRC chair ignoring both human rights committees. The UK isn’t safe, it’s time to take this fight to the governments door!

EHRC challenge: The fight goes on We challenged the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s transphobic guidance. The High Court will consider our case in full in November

“Trans people still have human rights protections in this country, and at Good Law Project, we plan to defend them.”

We stand in full solidarity with #LondonTransPride today. While we can’t be there in person this year, please see our statement below in our absence.

You also said you welcomed the Supreme Court ruling, a ruling now being actively leaned on to justify the rolling back of trans rights across the UK. This is already beginning to alienate Green voters and rightly so. Future voters deserve clarity, especially if you seek leadership so…what say you?

Hi @elliechowns.bsky.social You called trans rights a “contested issue” but trans people aren’t up for debate. They exist. The Greens say trans rights are human rights. Do your words reflect party policy or personal view? We ask respectfully. The public awaits your reply.

🚨🚨NEW EPISODE ALERT🚨🚨

Our latest episode drops tonight! We discuss the controversy over a road crossing, LGBTQ+ representation in vintage comedy, and @noshayminthat.bsky.social moans about things again…

Don’t miss it!

Available on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify from 6pm BST tonight!

Thanks, Philippa! Although it’ll bring absolutely no relief if this remains in place or worse so let’s wait and see 👀

And here in lies the problem, we suspect that those groups aren’t getting the same types of responses and are being listened to without any scrutiny etc.

Furthermore what was most interesting was that in one response they explained they do not accept concerns or correspondence from organisations only individuals 🤨

We’ve heard back from both the Women and Equalities Select Committee and the Commissioner. Their responses were disappointing but not unexpected, neither took responsibility, instead shifting blame to the political party involved.

Accountability matters. We’ll be challenging this in our reply.

Image celebrating international non binary people’s day.

Today is International Non-Binary People’s Day, a time to celebrate those whose identities exist beyond the binary. Non-binary people are real, valid, and deserve respect. Whether you’re out, questioning, or just learning, you belong. We see you. We support you. We stand with you.
💛🤍💜🖤

If we get the same reply, we will be following up.

You’d think, wouldn’t you?

MP’s who spread and engage in transphobic rhetoric and behaviour should be held to account, and they certainly shouldn’t be sitting on the Women and Equalities Committee.
Take a look below at our letter concerning Rosie Duffield MP’s conduct.
There’s not room in politics for transphobia.

Let’s see what they say!

An excellent expose of many of Duffield's failings. A very strongly worded letter, worth a few mins to read. Well done to @equalityamplified.org.uk for this! Let's hope those with the power will listen.

📣We’ve submitted a formal letter to the Women & Equalities Committee & Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards, raising serious concerns about Rosie Duffield MP's conduct.
Thank you to the over 300 personal testimonies we received. Your voices matter!

🎙️ New episode is live! We’re diving into slurs, language, and who gets to say what — plus a one-month check-in on the Switch 2. The Complaint Closet is open and Josh is still a moany old bitch.

Go on, give it a listen!

Over the weekend, we received a number of deeply disturbing emails, laced with homophobia, racism, and violent rhetoric. Read with caution.
I debated with whether or not to share them. But I concluded that silence only allows this kind of hatred to fester in the shadows. (1/4)

Hi Laura,
We are preparing the letter and impact statements and it should be available in the coming days.
The amazing responses we’ve had for the impact statements and signature means it’s taking a little longer to prepare.

I have a strategy email to my MP I've been slowly drafting. Parliamentary standards is one component and this action is long overdue.

I'm really fed up with MP's abusing parliamentary privilege and who think they are above the rule of law and decency.

We’re calling out harm, demanding accountability, and doing it together as one voice. This isn’t just a letter. It’s a collective stand against bigotry, and a step toward what we hope to be positive change led by those most impacted. MPs must listen. We won’t be ignored anymore.

🚨 The signatory form is now closed. Thank you to everyone who has co-signed our letter re: Rosie Duffield MP. Over 300 impact statements from trans people, allies and constituents will also be submitted to humanise the serious impact of her conduct. It’s time she was held to account! 🏳️‍⚧️

If anyone wants to write to the their own letter in support, I did an example/template focused on the language and misrepresentation in her tweet here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

You may want to adapt some stuff based on the much appreciated and more extensive open letter!

You can still add your name to this open letter concerning the member for Canterbury; who's never there; until 21:00 tonight. So you have three hours to do so. 🫡

Please sign if you can. A person who is a member of equalities should not be constantly attacking one of the groups they are meant to protect.

This is a very thorough letter that details Duffield's recent conduct which should be investigated by the House.
You've got til 9pm to add your name!
