As a human rights law academic, I'm ashamed of this country today and I'm ashamed of our supposed equality commission.

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'

"I transitioned in the early 1960s – which means I have witnessed the shifting mentalities around trans people for over 60 years. And I can firmly say that the state the trans community currently finds ourselves in is the most alarming in my lifetime" metro.co.uk/2026/08/05/i...

I'm 76 and transgender – life is harder for trans kids today than it was for me

I can firmly say that the state the trans community currently finds ourselves in is the most alarming in my lifetime.

Time to stand up, cis folk. No, this is wrong. If someone tries to enforce this around us, stand up and say no. Even if it's a trans person we don't like, stand up and say no. Defend. Refuse. Resist. Hope.

if I were advertising my horrible bigoted Guidance I would simply not put my horrible wee pinched napper on it so people learn by association to despise the sight of me

‘protecting service users from discrimination and harassment’ is certainly an interesting spin on one of the most discrimatory moves in recent UK human rights history, which will open so many trans people up to routine harassment over exercise of their basic biological necessities

Just in case you happen to be a trans person, please remember to take absolutely no notice of this unenforceable nonsense as you go about your business today.

@sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social Has failed to take a stand to protect trans Londoners and condemn the EHRC guidance up until now. But he still has time to course correct. If he actually follows Caroline's recommendations below, he can prove that he's not a fairweather friend to the LGBTQ community

I’ve written to the Mayor of London: “I urge you now to work with councils across London to support their efforts to make sure the (EHRC) guidance cannot be used to diminish the everyday rights of 🏳️‍⚧️ trans Londoners and to seek the wider adoption of these approaches across our city.” [1/3]

Letter to the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan. Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) Code of Practice for Service providers, Public Functions and Associations I am writing following our conversation at Mayor’s Question Time (12 June 2026) where I raised concerns about the distress and anxiety trans Londoners tell me they are feeling following the publication of the revised Code of Practice for service providers and associations by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). You told me that your “priority is to ensure London remains a city where everyone, regardless of gender identity, can thrive, feel safe and belong.” [1] You'll be aware that this week, on 5 August 2026, the Government's updated EHRC Code of Practice comes into effect, following an order from the Minister for Women and Equalities. Trans led organisations, such as Trans Actual, have maintained that the Code remains unworkable; it does not protect trans people, it does not help service providers and it does not respect the UK’s human rights obligations. [2] Despite cross party condemnation, with 166 MPs signing Early Day Motion (EDM) 240, tabled by Nadia Whittome MP, in an effort to halt this discriminatory guidance, there has been no debate in Parliament. The government's own Equality Impact Assessment admits that this code of practice would have wide-ranging negative impacts on Trans people and that Trans women could face a "disproportionate risk of violence and sexual assault.” [3]
