I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents.
I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights.

I’m autistic and ADHD. It’s not a disease, its not a condition, it’s not a privilege, it’s not a curse. It is an identity in itself and it is who I am. It cannot be caused or cured with paracetamol anymore than any other human identity. I am only disabled when I am discriminated against.

Reform UK are throwing parties for billionaires in offshore tax havens. So much for a party of the people.

It’s full of holes & has clearly been written without input from trans people. I will push for this to be withdrawn until thought-out guidance can be produced.

Per Axios her crime was not disclosing two court summons for obstructing traffic and failing to disperse during a protest.
