It is important to note that the Code of Practice applies to services, public functions, and associations and not - for example - the employment setting. It is also important to be clear that this is guidance for duty bearers (usually organisations), not criminal law that applies to individual members of the public.
Itv news Your Area V Categories V Trans people at risk of 'enforced segregation' under new guidelines, says MP POLITICS | LGBT+ | EQUALITY | GENDER Monday 6 July 2026 at 7:37pm
Dear Prime Minister, We have all written to this government numerous times in the past year to warn you about the devastating impact of your approach to LGBTQ+ policy on the ability of trans people to participate in public life with dignity. This Government failed to act at any point to secure and defend trans people's fundamental rights and protections, and the current situation has become completely untenable for a rights-respecting nation. The Supreme Court's job is to interpret statute, it is for our political representatives to set out a coherent vision for what the law should be and to make the law better. Even before the For Women Scotland judgment, the Equality and Human Rights Commission has acted in a way that has shredded our community's trust in regulators and institutions. This is not good enough. The Code of Practice now before Parliament is set to crystallise an interpretation of the law that is fundamentally in conflict with the UK's human rights obligations. Many MPs have already spoken out about the unjust and unworkable situation the code would create, and more than a hundred have already used the limited available scrutiny process to oppose it. We urge you to listen to these concerns. The Code does not provide clarity; it exacerbates confusion, conflict, and risk. We have consistently argued that a Code of Practice must pass three tests to be workable: it must protect trans people's ability to participate fully in society, support organisations that wish to remain inclusive, and comply with the UK's domestic and international human rights obligations. This Code fails on all counts. Prime Minister, the everyday harms this causes will be wide-ranging. This will be viewed as Labour's legacy on LGBTQ+ rights for a generation. You still have the opportunity to intervene - scrap this harmful guidance and change the law to fix the mess we find ourselves in.

Trans people’s legal protections, hard-won and vital, clearly no longer work. We elect our politicians to be legislators, and they must fix the law itself. Not doing so is a political choice, and they cannot hide behind the courts in making it. As we go headfirst into becoming an outlier in the rights-respecting world, the picture is bleak – but it’s not too late to change it.
Like many transgender individuals the Guardian has interviewed in recent years, Alice is making plans to move out of the UK. “It’s been made abundantly clear that I’m not welcome. I love my job and my family have a happy life here, but I will not be a second-class citizen in my own country.”

Protect trans people's access to gendered spaces: Preserves the norm of trans inclusion that has worked for decades. Ensures trans people are never forced into unsafe facilities for their gender assigned at birth. Does not paint trans people's inclusion as inherently dangerous or risky. Does not promote the segregation of trans people into 'third spaces'.
We are weeks away from new EHRC guidance, what do we need from it? 1. To protect trans people's access to gendered spaces. 2. To defend inclusive organisations. 3. To honour the UK's human rights commitments.

Now is not the time to give up. We’re all tired, but we need your help to hold this government to account and fight for a better future. Your help makes a real difference.
Defend trans people’s right to access spaces in line with their lived gender. Bring the UK back into line with its human rights obligations. The minimum we need from a new EHRC Code of Practice: Protect inclusive spaces and freedom of association from anti-trans lawfare.
A year of hurt and harm. We know what happened next. They promised us this wouldn’t happen. Today is one year since the Supreme Court said their decision wouldn’t cause any disadvantage to trans people.
Trans pupils are being failed. The Government’s draft ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ guidance is a threat to the safety and wellbeing of trans+ kids at school and college.

We must fight this. These rules are outdated and no longer fit for purpose. Trans+ people have the same rights as any other workers. Tell your MP what’s going on, and share your story, at the link in our bio.
This is a workers' rights crisis. Outdated workplace regulations are becoming tools of exclusion. Trans+ people are being sent home from their jobs, unsure when, or how, they can return.
Campaign group Trans+ Solidarity Alliance described the news as “heartbreaking” for children. They said: “Inclusive organisations being bullied into excluding people against their will is a profound failure of this Government to live up to its promises to the trans community. “This news will be heartbreaking for the children and volunteer leaders that hold Girlguiding together, to fix a problem that doesn’t exist without anti-trans lawfare.”

“The 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 year’s Supreme Court judgment has made them entirely unworkable. “This 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. “The 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.”

"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
Don’t let trans inclusive spaces be bullied out of existence
Following the recent national Wi ruling on membership eligibility effective April 2026), we need to share some difficult news about our group's future. Our current officers have decided not to renew their membership with the Wi, and at present, no one has come forward to fill these essential committee roles. Without officers in place or a committee, Seven Hills Wi will be suspended from April 2026. If you're interested in helping keep our group running or have questions about what's involved, please get in touch urgently. Wed love to hear from anyone willing to step forward. Thank you to everyone who has been part of our Seven Hills community. Whatever happens next, the friendships and memories weve created together will always matter, those that are moving away from the Wi, don't wish to lose the social aspect of a group, so will be looking at alternative options.
Will you join us?

Lawfare against inclusive organisations will continue, whatever the courts decide, with public money and business budgets spent defending against it - unless you act.

We speak with one voice More than 140 LGBTQ+ and feminist orgs have worked with us to protect trans inclusion
Left-wing Labour MP Nadia Whittome told The Independent that "policing people’s gender is fundamentally harmful for all women, whether they are trans or not”. Throwing her weight behind the letter, she added: "I sincerely hope that my fellow MPs will listen to them. “We must pressure the government to uphold the rights of our trans constituents and prevent businesses and organisations from being bullied into excluding trans people via legal threats."

Together, we brought joy to trans+ youth when it was needed the most My daughter's second gift from you just arrived. She's a Girl Guide and has had a heavy few weeks, so the lovely words made her burst into tears! Thank you for everything you do in organising this - it really makes her feel super special and we really feel the love and community.
My hope for the trans young people who receive this year’s Trans Secret Santa packages is that, by the time they reach my age, the current moral panic focussed on our community is a distant memory. I hope every single one of them is able to live a life of ambition and authenticity, unrestricted by the oppression of their identity, and knowing that they are supported, celebrated and loved. This Christmas, let’s all give the gift of that knowledge to all the trans people in our lives – even if we are waiting for others to catch up.
49. The Minister observes that if the Court proceeds to determine the core legal issue raised in this claim – whether the Publication accurately reflects the EA 2010 provisions relating to CSSs – this is likely to be material to, and of assistance in, the exercise of the Minister's functions in respect of the Defendant’s Draft Code.
Zoe Leventhal KC, representing the minister for women and equalities, argued that the guidance may have been too simplistic in suggesting that, for example, a trans woman should not use a women's toilet in a public space. She suggested that it could be judged on a case-by-case basis.
Screenshot of paragraph saying: One potential reason for the lack of clarity is that trans activists are stubbornly refusing to ­accept the Supreme Court’s ruling and continue to lobby hard against it. Trans+ Solidarity Alliance, one such campaign group, has recently organised a letter airing the concerns of 650 company bosses over providing single-sex spaces. Yet only a few of the businesses signing the letter are major commercial concerns. Except for the likes of Lush and Ben & Jerry’s, a majority of signatories are small firms, campaigners or unions.
