Image shows a copy of the Trans Lives report 2025. Text reads: Trans people in the UK are being failed. Transphobia from politicians and in the media not only impacts trans peopleโs mental health, it also impacts the way others treat us โ whether thatโs our family members or strangers in the street. GPs and staff in the GP practice arenโt giving us the standard of care we need from them โ training needs to be put in place urgently.
Image shows a copy of the Trans Lives report 2025. Text reads: Trans people in the UK are being failed. Lack of access to gender congruent ID makes us unsafe and gets in the way of going about our daily lives. Multiply marginalised trans people have worse experiences due to the intersections of transphobia with racism, ableism etc.

Ultimately, courts can only interpret the law that exists before them.
Itโs up to our Party and our labour movement to have the appetite to fight for a coherent vision of equality.

But one thing is clear: the EHRC's services code is wrong, and must be rejected.
โThe legal situation for trans people, employers and service providers is now completely incoherent. What bathroom a trans person can use in a pub may now depend whether they are there as an employee or for a drink. We are pleased the court has confirmed that the Equality Act does not function as a bathroom ban, but outdated workplace regulations have failed to keep up with modern times and last yearโs Supreme Court judgment has made them entirely unworkable. โThis risks outing trans people at work, who may have been using gendered facilities without issue for years - and it is unclear how trans people without access to gender neutral facilities will be able to do their jobs. This is a worker's rights crisis for the trans community, and one which will cause issues for employers across the country. โThe High Court has clarified that trans people should not be forced to use facilities in line with their birth sex, but it is hard to see how treating us as a 'third sex' at work aligns with the privacy protections in the Gender Recognition Act or the Human Rights Act. We must be allowed to transition and move on with our lives with privacy, not be outed every day at work.โ
Our take on the judgment: incoherent, unworkable and needs to be fixed or we face a workers rights crisis. We will be campaigning hard to fix this mess, watch this space.
The law now for trans+ people trying to go about their lives, and for our employers and service providers, is now completely incoherent - and the government needs to act. Full analysis to follow.
Judgment in @goodlawproject.bsky.socialโs judicial review of the EHRC interim update being handed down tomorrow. Watch this space for analysis and actions.

Graphic with a purple background. There is a picture of a pink-tinted hand holding a sand timer. At the right side there are two white boxes, the top one says "What will we think when we look back? This Scottish Government only has a few months left." The second box says "Do they want to be remembered for trying to make trans peopleโs lives better by reforming the GRA, or as being the first Government in the UK to write โbiological sex at birthโ into law?" At the bottom are the Equality Network and Scottish Trans logos and the link https://equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/howwillthisberemembered"

"Wherever you stand, and whatever the courts decide while trying to make sense of this situation, it cannot be right that organisations who have been proudly trans-inclusive for years feel forced to change this due to a lack of clarity on how to remain inclusive and costly legal threats. And it cannot be right that trans people are forced to live a life where nowhere feels truly safe." But the fact that publicly-funded groups have signed this letter has been criticised by women's groups. For Women Scotland wrote on X: "Why are @scotgov funding orgs to lobby for a roll-back of women's legal rights? Do they support any groups who adhere to the law? SG claims @InspiringSland makes the financial awards. So are they institutionally biased against women's rights groups? It's high time these decisions were subject to review!" Scottish daily express
Going after feminist groups for standing with trans people is not 'protecting women', whatever some may claim.
