10. Conclusion, Recommendations & Permission. 10.1 The EHRC’s position has consistently aligned with GCN including on (but not limited to): legal gender recognition; conversion practices; sex and gender data collection; the definition of “sex” in the Equality Act; and operation of gendered services. With growing GCI in the UK, media, & politics, political interference & lack of international collaboration, the EHRC has uncritically adopted these positions as fact, putting GCNs above its duty to provide guidance based on the present state of law. The EHRC’s position is contrary to international human rights standards. 10.2 We are not aware of any efforts by the EHRC to re-align their position with stakeholders as stated in these PPs: Non-governmental organizations responsible for human rights [...] trade unions, concerned social and professional organizations … qualified experts; or Parliament. 10.3 The EHRC is not independent & does not promote & protect human rights of all, per international standards. It is in breach of PP A.3 & G.O.s 1.2, 1.3 & 1.4. We seek a further urgent review of the EHRC’s accreditation status given the accumulated further information since the last review (SCA in its Oct. 2025 review decided to keep monitoring the UK.) 10.4 We give permission for the information contained in this submission to be shared with any necessary parties. 5 Signed: Dr Victoria McCloud for Trans Exile Network, [redacted address] Émilie Weidl for Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention & Human Security, [redacted address]

Really pleased to see this further submission to GANHRI about the EHRC, this time from @transexilenetwork.co.uk and the #LemkinInstitute.

Thank you to @tacc.org.uk for making the submission publicly available:

Thank you for this. Please sign and share the letter by @nionwomen.bsky.social - cis women standing side by side with trans people.

Grew up watching a Trans woman win Big Brother, hearing music with lyrics that celebrated Trans people, seeing folk flourish as themselves. Now we’re going backwards

I will ALWAYS stand against the politicisation and degradation of human rights. Solidarity to our Trans family 🏳️‍⚧️ 💪🏻

Just awful.

“Students in this category are those that are not fitting in with their peer groups as well as they could be. There are a myriad of reasons for this”. Then failing to consider the obvious option that they are not “fitting in” because they are trans and are not being supported.

TERFs really need to be more careful what they brush for. It’s going to come around and bite them on the bum.

JKR: “Wear what you want….”

Radicalised misogynistic MAGA transphobes: “Uh no. We’re going to force everyone ‘born female’ to be forced to perform hyper-gender conformity (where’s the push-up bra’s?)”

Transphobia is a tool of the patriarchy that oppresses women!!!

You don’t say. And still they support Farage and his lies. 🙄

With reduced productivity, investment, and trade, the impacts of leaving the European Union is still being felt a decade later. As today marks 10 years since the date of the referendum was confirmed, it reminds us of the importance of repairing our relationship with Europe.

The New World. The unBrexited Britain that could have led Europe. London could have been the EU’s capital, leading the continent’s defence against Putin and Trumpworld, instead of a spectator to decisions it once helped to shape. 18 February.

Brexit is a clear example of self-sabotage, with the negative impacts still being felt a decade later. Research has found that at the start of 2025, the UK economy was approximately 8% smaller than it would have been had we remained in the European Union.

Help us support Girlguiding and the Women’s Institute to remain inclusive | Good Law Project We’re offering to defend the Women’s Institute and Girlguiding against trans exclusion

Girlduiding and Women's Institute say the law forces them to exclude trans women. But that's not true.

We are offering to indemnify them against legal risk if they change course.

If they remain trans exclusive, their members can know it's management's ideological choice.

The Annihilation Of Women’s Rights By Anti-Trans Hate Groups The Mainstream media frequently demonises trans people and blames them for hurting women's rights. This is a lie! Women's rights are actively being destroyed by anti-trans hate.

"By attacking trans rights women erode their own rights. Their own rights to bodily autonomy, to have abortions, to contraception, to dress masculine ect. All of which the Women’s Liberation Movement of the late 1960s fought hard to win."

Butler made the point that anti-trans feminists are allying with the right wing over their dislike of "gender" and transness, despite their seeming political differences. "Sometimes [members of the anti-gender ideology movement] claim that 'sex'alone has scientific standing, but other times they appeal for divine mandates for masculine domination and difference. They don't seem to mind contradicting themselves," said Butler. "The trans exclusionary radical feminists and the so-called gender critical writers have also rejected the important work in feminist philosophy of science showing how culture and nature interact.. • in favor of a regressive and spurious form of biological essentialism. So they will not be part of the coalition that seeks to fight the anti-gender movement. The anti-gender ideology is one of the dominant strains of fascism in our times. Butler also

Judith Butler could see it, but then the Guardian stifled it.

Such important research but a heart rending read.

Harming children: the effects of the UK puberty blocker ban This paper presents an analysis of data from trans children and young people and their parents following the imposition of a UK-wide ban on puberty blockers for this group. The consequences of this...

A “trial” that can only ever be 100% unethical @naomilong.bsky.social.

What are you going to do about this?

You need to reflect upon the fact that trans kids are 7 times more likely to die by suicide than cis kids and READ MY RESEARCH about the great harm the puberty-blocker ban is causing.

Very important THREAD. This is why the Starmer regime is failing to implement its promised Bannon conversion therapy; the “new” GIDS and the transphobic school “guidance” produced by Bridget Phillipson, together constitutes state-mandated trans conversion therapy.

I think it demonstrates how far the Overton window has shifted that we are now reduced to using Cass to argue for less restrictions on care for trans people.

409 Girlguiding leaders have signed a collective letter of intent to resign.

This is an amazing act of solidarity by WI members who value their trans friends. Thank you so much to them - whoever they are.

I am so very sad for those affected by this. Trans folk everywhere please remember that you are seen, you are heard, you are loved. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️🏳️‍⚧️

Today, we are deeply saddened that both Girlguiding and the Women’s Institute have been put in a position that has resulted in trans women and girls being excluded from their organisations. Image of older woman hugging younger girl

NION Women Rejects Anti-Trans Narrative at Kenwood Ladies Pond Image of women swimming in the wild

🏊‍♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision.

In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019.

Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts.

Over 50,000 cis women have signed the @nionwomen.bsky.social open letter rejecting the narrative that trans women are a danger to women.

The real threat to women has never been trans women. The real threat to women is male violence.

Excellent letter. 👏👏👏

An image of Sian's letter to the Minister for Women and Equalities. You can read the full text of her letter at: https://www.sianberry.org.uk/publications/letter-regarding-statutory-guidance-from-the-equality-human-rights-commission/

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents.

I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights.
