Heads up! The EHRC are rewriting the Statutory Code of Practice to the Equality Act in a way that seriously waters down protections for 🏳️‍⚧️ folk.
Below is a 🧵 of the most egregious examples I’ve found.
Please help fight this by responding to the EHRC consultation—full details at the end of thread.
1/
Chapter 4 This chapter no longer includes any worked examples of direct discrimination against a trans person. Gender reassignment is the only one of the eight protected characteristic covered by this draft Code not to be given a worked example in Chapter 4. Please include at least one example of direct discrimination against a trans person in Chapter 4 of any updated Code of Practice. Chapter 5 There are no worked examples in this section showing indirect discrimination towards a trans person. Taken together, this means that in this draft Code of Practice, there are no worked examples involving trans people for: direct discrimination (Chapter 4), indirect discrimination (Chapter 5), harassment (Chapter 8), victimisation (Chapter 9), positive action (Chapter 10), services and public functions (Chapter 11), or associations (Chapter 12). Please include examples involving trans people in at least some of these chapters.
