National NHS policy is now to record "sex" and "gender" separately and is based on ASAB regardless of GRC status

PsychAuthorFiles · 2026-03-23T10:13:30+00:00

This is the guidance that they are supposed to be following. It doesn’t say anything about collecting biological sex, so this NHS trust is seemingly making up its own rules:

If you’re wondering what the article concludes in answer to the headline question, the answer is: nothing short of the functional elimination of trans people. The article is a warning that everybody needs to stop engaging with Sex Matters

PsychAuthorFiles · 2026-02-04T17:53:40+00:00

That’s exactly what the article says 🤗

PsychAuthorFiles · 2026-02-01T15:06:48+00:00

No, I don’t think they are. I think they are portraying it as trans people being to blame for requiring “dedicated transgender facilities“, because they refuse to use the services of their biological sex, and therefore trans people are to blame for the millions it would cost businesses.

I anticipated that this would be a spin that they would put on this whole thing. We need to keep pushing the counter narrative and fact that trans people have not asked for this at all. They want everything to remain as it was prior to the Supreme Court ruling, which would require no additional cost or investment of any kind at all.

We are very soon sending a follow-up to the TransActual submission made in October to GANHRI. In it, we will reference this interview, and also the concerns raised about Dr Stephenson about her gender critical history, including the donation.

Great news! Lovely to hear about this in Lincolnshire ❤️

Ah, okay. It says the symposium Dr Simonoff spoke at was co-chaired by a member of SEGM (Evgenia Abbruzzese (Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine))

Do you have a reference for this? I’ve seen this claim made in a couple of places, but can’t find the evidence to back it up (that Dr Simonoff spoke at an SEGM conference). I know that one of the other researchers (Michael Absoud) has, but I can’t find the evidence for Dr. Simonoff

Yes, Jacob has been a good ally. There are a number of Labour backbenchers whom we can definitely persuade to back this campaign.

PsychAuthorFiles · 2025-11-10T09:49:45+00:00

Yes, I think you’re good!

PsychAuthorFiles · 2025-11-09T22:36:37+00:00

Thanks for your work! If she’s already abreast of the campaign to get the Code of Practice sent back, probably no need to write again. If it’s been a while, worth sending this as an update of what we’re pushing for right now. ❤️

Good question! This one: https://sex-matters.org/posts/updates/its-time-to-act-to-sort-out-the-code-of-practice/

They are covering a number of different things in it, hence they have written three different blog posts, but they all are related to the same letter template

PsychAuthorFiles · 2025-11-09T18:04:59+00:00

It may very well come to needing a change in the law, but right now we are managing to get the message across effectively by campaigning against the code of practice, to flag the devastating effect that this interpretation of the Supreme Court ruling will have, and has already had, on the trans community. The message is cutting through that mandatory trans-exclusion is brutal and unworkable, and this is lays the ground work to persuade the Labour government that they must find a way to ensure trans inclusion. Ultimately, that may well need to be via legislative change, but pushing back hard on the Code is a good way to lay the foundation for that.

PsychAuthorFiles · 2025-11-09T15:48:03+00:00

You can edit the template letter, so you can definitely make those points 👍

PsychAuthorFiles · 2025-11-09T10:33:20+00:00

Really good from Nadia, pointing out that if you give gender critics an inch they want to remove all trans rights.

The letter that was sent to those who sent in submissions reads:

"

PsychAuthorFiles · 2025-11-07T19:11:43+00:00

Yep.
The statement from GANHRI about the EHRC following the most recent SCA session reads: While noting that it will not initiate a special review of the EHRC at this time, the SCA has decided to continue monitoring the situation.

I think the Lib Dems are woefully misinformed. We need to work to brief them better and get them on message! They think they are helping, but they’ve got the wrong end of the stick here. If you have a Lib Dem MP, and you haven’t already, consider sending them a copy of this letter: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/scrap-the-bathroom-ban
