The outcome of the EHRC judicial review has created further distress and confusion for our trans+ communities rather than the clarity and dignity that they deserve.

We stand with our peer organisations including TransActual and the Trans+ Solidarity Alliance in calling for the Government to:

– Send back the Code of Practice, and require the EHRC to make it clear that services can lawfully include trans people in settings and facilities that match their gender, and that trans people should not be outed by the services and facilities they use.

– Change building and workplace regulations to allow for the many types of gender neutral facilities that already exist – sharing a sink with colleagues at work, regardless of their gender, is a normal part of everyday life.

– Provide support for organisations to invest in creating toilets and facilities that include everyone by building accessible, gender neutral toilets.

We will continue to stand with our trans+ communities in Devon & Cornwall and work towards justice and real equality across our region.
