Today's ruling on the EHRC's interim guidance is a disappointing, confusing and mixed picture.
A trans woman who is a customer in a café can use the women's toilets, but if she works there she might not be able to.
Once again everyday life is being made a legal labyrinth for trans people.

The High Court has ruled on our challenge to the EHRC’s interim guidance.
The judgment contains some good news for trans rights – but plenty of bad.

So, at my place of work, there is not difference in toilet use between staff and students toilet use. But now trans students can use the correctly-gendered toilets, but not trans staff.
Ridiculous!
Ridiculous!
This is our news read out:
"Service providers may lawfully allow trans women to use women’s facilities without being forced to open them to cis men" and "the EHRC’s exclusionary draft Code of Practice does not accurately reflect the law and the Minister will have to send it back to be rewritten."

Ladbrokes are very clear, Labour are now rank outsiders in the Gorton and Denton by-election. It’s between the Greens and the fascists.
A Labour vote will let Reform in, a Labour vote is a Reform vote.

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.
I disagree.
RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

We need to big this up, a V important legal judgement; if it had gone against us it would have been all over the oligarch/transphobic media as a "Landmark" case. I suspect it may be very useful in preventing Universities from silencing trans people under the pretext of pandering to the OfS.

The EHRC’s appointment of Dr. Mary-Ann Stevenson, a figure with known anti-trans views, makes clear it no longer serves all people. Equality Amplified no longer recognises the EHRC as a human rights body.
