Thank you @sarahowen.org.uk for listening fairly to the EHRC yesterday but clearly putting the reality of trans people’s lives across.
Having heard their defence, thank you for now signing EDM 240 against the EHRC’s harmful guidance.

Hang your heads in fucking shame. Inviting the woman responsible for trans segregation to speak at your event.
You’re not fit for purpose and the LGBTQ+ in Britain today would be better off without you in it.
Providing single-sex services in the form of “third space” so we don’t have to check anyone’s “biological sex”. This is surely the most proportionate approach by the EHRC’s (contradictory) standards, right?
Let’s assume the legislature adopted all these contradictory measures. The only logical conclusion is that single-sex services mean side room and third space. So you don’t actually need to check anyone’s “Biological Sex” when providing for their “Biological Sex”.
2/ I have little doubt Goodwin extends the benefit of gender papers to cis folks too, as they now face exactly the same disadvantage as Goodwin.
But all this nonsense would not emerge if:
- No one can demand the exclusion of others from the mainstream provision or part of services, etc.
- Single-sex services can only be provided on a case-by-case basis.
Which is the inverse of what is proposed in the Code.
Wtf
1/🧵 Whether guidance that undermines all proof of sex (both as a civil status and for specific purposes) is an Article 8 violation for everyone is a good academic question.
Catching up on the EHRC Chair session before WEC. Sounds like she didn't answer much specifically, but when she did, or was based on the 2 big lies - that the Equality Act was a bathroom ban but no one noticed for 15 years, and that you can always tell if someone is trans.
