“It also permits organisations to routinely ask for a Gender Recognition Certificate from trans individuals seeking access to single sex spaces.”
This seems odd considering SG about to rule on this.

Yes. Also I don't get it. If all you have to do is get a GRC then we are back to the same problem.

It makes me think the EHRC know which way the SG is going to rule —> In favour of GRC changing sex for the purposes of the equality act.

Anyone who thinks the EHRC presented a report to govt telling them what the guidance for GRC holders should be, just a week before the supreme court rules on the matter needs to be having a good hard look at themselves 😉

'It will protect biological sex over gender identity as far as is possible under current law.'
'[and] greater protections for single-sex spaces including compelling all service providers and public facing organisations to clarify the difference between sex and gender.'

This is definitely welcome. I work with vulnerable women who are at risk through staff not being able to interpret guidelines and fear of offending.
