1/🧵 Updates on my own judicial review against the EHRC interim guidance. I have declined the EHRC’s request for more time to respond, as they did not specify which parts of my letter required additional time to address.

🚨 Important Action 🚨 Here is a brand new draft letter to your MP, which you should absolutely be sending, based on yesterday's statement from UN experts. Please send and share!

By locking out trans people, ignoring its Human Rights Act obligations, ignoring what Parliament was told the GRA was for, relying on a biased academic researcher, its ascientific 'biology' and hubristic attitude to lesbians, the Supreme Court caused incalculable harm to trust in the rule of law.

Numerous United Nations experts have expressed concern about the implications of the UK Supreme Court judgment for trans people's human rights, including the guidance from the EHRC. They urge decisive legal reform to protect human rights. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

UN experts warn of legal uncertainty and rights implications following UK Supreme Court ruling: "A group of independent human rights experts today expressed concern about the implications of the recent UK Supreme Court judgment interpreting the definition of 'woman'" www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

The disgraceful EHRC misconduct is now drawing fire from the United Nations. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

While the EHRC claims to be interpreting the Equality Act 2010 in line with recent Supreme Court precedent, its approach raises serious legal concerns under other legislation. gender-matters.org/law/legal-br...

The EHRC’s draft Code of Practice doesn’t just threaten trans rights, it may breach UK law and human rights protections. From the Equality Act 2006 to the ECHR, we break down how this guidance could lead to legal violations and institutional discrimination.

I will publish a brief “response instructions” today. Stay tuned. For example, Oppose the use of “legal sex”; demand it be termed “1975-sex”. Oppose the use of hate speech “biological sex”.

I'm watching Parliament's debate on self-ID so you don't have to and it's not bad so far (reader, we are only 30 minutes in).

Already the wheels are falling off the false – at best – EHRC guidance on the For Women Scotland decision. After a month of insisting the law was “clear”, it’s now asked for an extension to reply to the “significant and complex issues” our letter raises: goodlaw.social/nvfh

Amazingly, the wheels are falling off fast the false EHRC statement. goodlaw.social/2y7y

We need to be relentless in pushing MPs on the Supreme Court ruling. We already hear that it has been noticed, and it is making a massive effect. And we thought we would put a bunch of these letter writing campaigns into a small thread.

Along with a man and a woman who are trans, and someone who is intersex, we are suing the EHRC and the Equalities Minister in respect of the disgraceful and unlawful EHRC guidance. In line with our transparency principles we are publishing the full 32 page legal letter. goodlaw.social/2ihj

Request for info: If you know of any organisation etc. which has announced publicly that it has changed its policies/practices as a result of the Supreme Court decision or the EHRC update - please comment it below. Trying to collate some of this.

We have some practical guidance available for trans people and service providers! Share widely!

Very pleased to say, we've at last managed to get up some practical guidance on what the For (Some) Women Scotland decision means. Tl;dr it's absolutely *not* what the bigots in Government or the bigots leading the misnamed EHRC are telling you. goodlaw.social/1c68df

I wrote about the impact of the Supreme Court judgment on our community. You can read here:

NEW: We asked the trans community how they have been affected after the Supreme Court ripped up the Equality Act. The response has been chilling, writes @jessothomson.co.uk: goodlaw.social/b5hx

BREAKING - Translucent has begun the process of taking legal action against the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). 1/8

Our methodological critique of The Cass Review has been peer-reviewed published & is therefore way more authoritative than Cass which is un-peer-reviewed. Streeting/Starmer can no longer claim Cass is “gold standard” or “landmark”. Cass is just junk science. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

The Cass Review gets peer reviewed and absolutely shredded Cass is the Wakefield of our time. A scandal in broad daylight

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

"It has been my experience – even travelling across four continents at different times since my transition – that an overwhelming majority of people will take you as you are, not as any government imagines you to be." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We’ve partnered with Lush and My Genderation to speak out on behalf of trans and non-binary people everywhere. To educate and explain to a wider public whose main source of information about trans folk is a biased, sensational, and often hostile national media. Read nore: buff.ly/rD2RXS3 #Trans

Attendees at the #RDconf last Saturday voted on an emergency motion to show their opposition to the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman. Read the motion below 👇 BMA-wide policy is set at the Annual Representative Meeting (ARM) in June 2025.

Lawyer and the UK's first trans judge, Dr Victoria McCloud KC was one of the voices that wasn't listened to during the Supreme Court ruling. We'll be supporting Victoria, and other representative groups to challenge the ruling. Help us fund this case 👇 goodlaw.social/xpme

April’s Supreme Court decision is being treated as the final word. But the judgment has introduced considerable uncertainty to the law, and some parts appear to set back the rights of trans people by over 20 years, says barrister @crash-w.bsky.social: goodlaw.social/d4n8

My latest article on the judgment is now out in Prospect Magazine. This one I think is probably the most shareable with those who aren't as aware of what is going on. Please take a look!

From barrister @crash-w.bsky.social. Powerful critique of the Supreme Court's work... ‘The Court’s comments about single-sex spaces appear to place trans people in a worse position than they were even prior to the passage of the Gender Recognition Act 2004’. www.translegalproject.org/post/for-wom...
