This letter from Tony Vaughan KC, the MP for Folkestone, is the clearest articulation I’ve seen on the flaws of the interim update from the EHRC. The section titled β€˜Legal Incoherence’ hits the nail on the head.

And here we go - as expected, they're going after kids now. This is exactly the sort of thing I warned about when the Supreme Court judgment was released.

πŸ«‚ The UK Supreme Court ruling is a blow but it does not affect our humanity.

✊🏻 Trans women are women; trans men are men and nonbinary identities are valid.

Updating details for SQA marking. It’s 2025 and they only offer male/female and gendered titles, no Mx. So you may now address me as Captain Currie, I’m going to retrain as a pirate #queer #LGBTQIA

My move to secondary… I enjoyed teaching, enjoyed being in the class rather than the rest of the job (I’d been both promoted and a national union negotiator in FE). Wanted to teach maths because I could see the importance of the subject, both in its own right but also as a gatekeeper qualification

A belief in the importance of education and the potential of education to enact social change… but I graduated in 1998 with Section 2a/28 still in place and swore I’d never set foot in a secondary school again. Got a job in FE by luck rather than design… 20 years later moved to secondary.
