I think you meant the EHRC (Equalities and Human Rights Commission) as aposed to ECHR European Convention on Human Rights or ECtHR European Courts of Human Rights. It does get confusing but we must try to get this right so as to avoid further confusion.

Thank you Katy, you have not been cringe or self serving, you have been honest and open. The vast majority of the community are feeling exactly the same regardless of when they started their transition.Take the time you need when you need it, being on the front line is tough breaks are required.

I have also noted that they are not providing an email confirmation of submission which is standard practice for these online consultations. Making it easier to deny a submission has been made if they don't like the answers provided.
comment in response to post
You should have had email confirmation of your submission, which is the standard practice but I know I didn't receive one so I don't have confirmation of submitting either. This could be their way of avoiding entries they don't like.

It will also discriminate against women with children of the opposite sex out and about trying to find a suitable bathroom. The guidance is truly flawed and should be withdrawn immediately.

Sorry to say this Sara but it is in black and white on the EHRC's website as part of their flawed guidance. Dont' take my word for it, check it out for yourself. I see you have reposted about the guidance several times so you should have a link to it.

thus a mother cannot take her son or a father cannot take his daughter to the bathroom unless it is a designated mixed sex facility. Though the EHRC have failed to mention this in their guidance most likely to prevent the backlash from parent groups who will be affected by this.
comment in response to post
Some will argue that this is not the case but a child who has been assigned male at birth under the terms of the ruling is “biological male” and for a child that is assigned female at birth is “biological female”,
comment in response to post
If a venue allows a parent to take their opposite sex child into the facilities it then becomes a mixed sex facility for the purposes of this guidance and the law under the EA 2010.
comment in response to post
Like wise parents would not be allowed to take their child of the opposite sex into a toilet designated as a single sex space in a restaurant, café, cinema. They would have to use a facility such as a disabled bathroom which is designated as gender neutral placing a major burden on the parent.

So, for parents wishing to take their child swimming in a public swimming pool, child requires adult assistance to change then unless the changing facilities are designated as “Mixed Sex” a mother wouldn't be allowed to take their son, or a father to take their daughter into the changing rooms.

• in some circumstances the law also allows trans women (biological men) not to be permitted to use the men’s facilities, and trans men (biological woman) not to be permitted to use the women’s facilities.”
comment in response to post
• trans women (biological men) should not be permitted to use the women’s facilities and trans men (biological women) should not be permitted to use the men’s facilities, as this will mean that they are no longer single-sex facilities and must be open to all users of the opposite sex
comment in response to post
The EHRC targets parents and children of the opposite sex. EHRC (the Equalities and Human Rights Commission) issued disappointing interim guidance on how organisations should interpret the Supreme Court ruling. The guidance states that, “In workplaces and services that are open to the public:
