The EHRC Code of Practice risks entering an unacceptable era for LGBTQ+ rights and encourage gender policing. MPs can still oppose it. Ask your MP to support EDM 240: equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/rejectthecode

More than 100 MPs have now signed the motion I tabled alongside colleagues to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations. Please email your MP asking them to sign EDM 240 if they haven’t already.

Took me a bit to process how big a deal this report actually is--its thus far the only review to look at the entire body of currently available research. It took two years to conduct, stands at 1,000 pages, and completely contradicts the Cass Review and the common arguments for bans on this care.

Republicans in Utah commissioned an investigation into gender-affirming care for trans youth after banning it in 2023. They're now rejecting the findings of that investigation which showed access to care reduced suicides and improved "positive mental health and psychosocial functioning outcomes."
