We have been tracking people’s experiences with gendered spaces and our new report looks at the impact of the 2025 EHRC interim update on access to, and experiences within, gendered spaces in the UK.
Image shows a row of toilet stalls with blue doors. Text reads: " I went to use the women's toilets as I was on my period and there were no gender neutral ones. A middle aged male security guard ran in after me…he started banging on the [cubicle] door, trying to open it as he shouted "sir, sir you can't be in here”... hearing the pitch of my voice was enough for him to drop it and leave. But I sat in the toilet feeling scared, vulnerable and dirty for a good few minutes." -a non-binary person tinyurl.com/ReportALoo Image shows a sign hanging from the ceiling that says 'WC' and has male and female toilet symbols. Text reads: “ A few months ago in a local LGBTQ+ owned bar, I went into the men's toilets and another guy looked at me and then yelled "You’re in the wrong toilet" in my face at close range.” -a transmasc person tinyurl.com/ReportALoo Image shows multicoloured soft play mats and apparatus. Text reads: "I was supervising my 5 year old disabled son, who was in the establishment’s soft play area. My son soiled himself and so I stood to take him to the facilities. However, when I made to head to the bathroom a woman who I assume to be in a senior role quickly came towards us and blocked my progress, pointing at the men’s toilets and advising me that “The gentlemen’s are there.” -a disabled, trans woman (who had been making her way to the accessible toilet) tinyurl.com/ReportALoo Image shows 3 toilet signs one accessible, one women's and baby changing and one men's. Text reads: "I was stopped going into a bathroom by another tourist who stated that “these are the women’s toilets”. I stated that I am a woman and therefore using the ‘correct’ toilet for my gender. This is the most recent example of me being harassed going into a toilet in the past year. Which has gone from never to 6 incidents now." -a cis, butch dyke tinyurl.com/ReportALoo

My critical analysis of the anti-trans astroturf group, the LGB Alliance, has just been published in the special edition of the Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies. I recommend the whole special edition - it's open access, no pay wall.

In the backlash against trans rights in the UK since the late 2010s, the LGB Alliance has been implicated as a leading exponent of the new moral panic, typified by its newspaper campaign against GRA r...

"Astro-terfs" surely deserves some sort of a prize?

1/🧵 I am viewing a never-before-seen file on “gender reassignment” or trans inclusion policy at the National Archives, Kew. The Supreme Court should start sweating. A bagful of receipts!
A close-up, angled shot of a pink paper file cover from the UK "DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH," resting on a light wood-grain surface. The "SUBJECT" is handwritten in large blue capital letters: "GENDER RE-ASSIGNMENT".

Used the wrong link before. Here is a pile of evidence that the supreme court ignored when coming to its misjudgement. Evidence that, had it taken note of, would have meant it could not have arrived at its - flawed - conclusion.

Evidence that the Supreme Court judgement against trans people's human rights was factually wrong...?

If your organisation no longer recognises the EHRC as a national human rights institution, we’ve prepared an email template you can adapt.

It can be sent to public bodies like the WEC, the JCHR, and relevant ministers to raise formal concerns about the EHRC’s loss of independence and credibility.

The EHRC – the body which is meant to protect our human rights – is proposing guidance which would turn the Equality Act into a bathroom ban. If this becomes law, it would force trans people out of public life.

And terrifyingly - this is all happening behind closed doors 🧵
Don't let them take away our rights behind closed doors The EHRC's proposed Code of Practice would devastate trans+ lives and put everybody at risk. This trans bathroom ban is set to become law with no debate, no scrutiny and no vote in Parliament. We have to act now.
