EHRC stance criticised by trans rights campaigners

• The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is set to publish new statutory guidance banning transgender women from single-sex public spaces.
• This guidance is a response to the UK Supreme Court's ruling that trans women are not legally women under the Equality Act.
• The new rules will reportedly apply to a wide range of public service providers, including schools, hospitals, shops, and prisons.
• Trans rights campaigners have heavily criticised the EHRC's approach, deeming it discriminatory and launching legal challenges against the guidance.
• The EHRC stated the code is not yet finalised but will remain consistent with the Supreme Court's ruling, noting they used AI to help analyse over 50,000 consultation responses.
