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.

From The Lancet: "Medical emergency: urgent medical care for Dr Hussam Abu Safiya. We write to urge immediate access to medical care for Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, a paediatrician and Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, who has been detained in Israel since December, 2024"

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital, has been arbitrarily detained by Israeli authorities since December 27, 2024. Due to reports of solitary confinement, torture, and severe medical neglect, his life is considered to be in grave danger.

Apparently Dr Mary Ann Stephenson, head of the EHRC was 'shocked' in a meeting with Unison when presented, by a trans rep, with 600 examples of documented harm (supplied by members) resulting from the UK's anti-trans policies. Has offered to work with the Union, although not clear what that means

Join us at 6pm, Thursday 9th July at the top of Middle Meadows Walk, Edinburgh. It's part of a nationwide decentralised protest, organised by the Bodily Autonomy Coalition, against the EHRC’s transphobic, undemocratic bathroom ban.

EDINBURGH

Top of Middle Meadows Walk, 6pm Thursday 9th July

The EHRC Code of Practice threatens to segregate trans people out of public life. Reject the Code and stop trans segregation.
