Damaging new guidance from the EHRC will shut out Trans people from daily life simply for existing, and anyone who doesn't conform to narrow ideas of how people should look could face suspicion and confrontation. We are taking a stand against this attack on human rights.

Two unforced blunders from Zack Polanski today. I expect he's under a great deal of pressure, but it's kinda disappointing to see. One of the things I admire about him is his ability to communicate complex subjects quickly and effectively.

absolutely fucking insane how it is now government policy that trans people should not get to exist in public. if you are not a cishet neurotypical white Christian male married with 2.4 cishet neurotypical white Christian children then sleep with one eye open because this could be you too.

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.'

Much as I respect your work, Richard, this is a mess. You don't need AI to spell check. The graphics add little or nothing. How did you cope before AI? Do *that* instead. The ALT text is utterly useless. I hope you can take some of the feedback on board.

Much of what is said about economics is little better than gaslighting.... I used AI tools when writing this post, including a spell checker. I also used 50 years of experience writing about these issues. The drawing was the smallest part of all that, and I had no budget to do it any other way.

🚨We have written to all MP's expressing our anger at the government. Our rights WILL be restored. Our voices WILL be heard. We will continue to fight 🏳️‍⚧️✊

The government’s transphobic code of practice is now up and running. But we’re not going to stand still and take it, we're supporting a legal challenge led by a trans person and a trans inclusive organisation. But we can only do this together. Will you join us?👇 goodlaw.social/ldco

Just a reminder that: - this isn't for workplaces and if your work is trying to implement it scare them over discrimination claims - the onus is on the service provider, not the service user to comply - the code *itself* says enforcement of toilet facilities is unworkable and low priority

EHRC Code of Practice comes into effect today so remember to be an absolute pain in the arse to any service provider who is trying to actively enforce it.

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

"We are an independent statutory body with the responsibility to encourage equality and diversity, eliminate unlawful discrimination, and protect and promote the human rights of everyone in Britain." I'm judging you on what you *do*, Mary-Ann. It's not matching that statement 👆🏻

I need to write a little thing to my trans volunteer group about the EHRC guidance basically saying, y'know, please don't worry too much about this despite what you might hear today, etc, but all that's coming out when I start drafting is 'loud and garbled scream of frustration.'

British law is truly fascinating*, you can say "Jewish people don't face discrimination and actually they secretly run the world" and your employer can't sack you but protest against a genocide Britain is facilitating and you're an antisemitic terrorist *utter dogshit
