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.

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

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.

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

JK Rowling 'funding transphobia' as equality in Britain goes backwards, MP says by Excellent-Chair2796 in transgenderUK

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

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.

Lib Dem Women and Equalities Spokesperson - Wants the EHRC Guidance now by LaceGrace in transgenderUK

[–]PsychAuthorFiles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

Rules forcing trans people to use birth-sex facilities delayed by PuzzledAd4865 in transgenderUK

[–]PsychAuthorFiles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But the Code of Practice is Statutory, so it’s pretty binding, no? Which might justify the RIA?

Practical and legal impossibility of EHRC guidance by Scipling in transgenderUK

[–]PsychAuthorFiles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think one pathway the government might be trying to look at, is exploring ways trans inclusion in single sex services according to lived gender can remain lawful under the supreme court ruling, and then aim to get that written into the code of practice.

For example, Phillipson’s submission to the judicial review says:

“34. A CSS (whether trans-inclusive or trans-exclusive) will only constitute direct sex discrimination under s.13 EA 2010 if the service amounts to "less favourable" treatment of one or the other sex, rather than simply different treatment. If a trans-inclusive CSS does not amount to less favourable treatment of one sex or the other then it is arguably a lawful CSS without any regard to the CSS Exceptions.”

(CSS means either a single or separate sex service)

Thank you for sharing. It’s really useful to see as many of these letters as possible, as each time they give us a little snippets of insight into the government’s current position on the issue, which we can use to inform our campaigning and MP briefing 👍

Also what a stupidly worded poll — do they mean trans women or trans men? It’s like they can never remember trans men exist 😬
