Thanks - not our work of course - produced by @transactualuk.bsky.social

No surprises here. This government is absolutely incapable of listening.

Well thanks - but it’s not. Trans Legal Clinic we think? Similar name - different outfit.

EHRC initially claimed these 'briefing sessions' weren't part of the Consultation - it's unclear what status they actually had. We took the view that they probably weren't planning to listen; our aim was to hear their attempts to defend their views. They didn't do well.

Having been doing battle with them for some time, we told them we wanted an invite. Basically to hear what possible legal justification they might have for their incoherent guidance plus the chance to say what we thought about it to them, which we did. More here: www.translegalproject.org/blog-1

Many legal protections for trans people do not depend on having a GRC; these protections include access to single sex spaces. See Croft v Royal Mail [2003] - the Supreme Court explicitly reaffirmed a key principle in it.

Thank you. I hope they meet with you. Please do keep in mind another strand of the whole mess. FWS did NOT invalidate important case law that protects trans people's rights, including of access. In fact the ruling explicitly referred to it still standing. The EHRC is completely ignoring this.

Have DM'd you
