WE OPPOSE THE NEW EHRC GUIDANCE AND SO CAN YOU.
REJECT THE CODE OF PRACTICE AND SUPPORT EDM 240.
The Code was laid in Parliament on 21 May 2026. This statutory guidance would usher in a dark age for LGBTQ+ rights in the UK, and encourage gender policing and law fare. This, the government admits, will put trans lives at risk.
It sets out a system of segregation, with trans people excluded from services and spaces that reflect their gender, and in some cases also excluded from services and spaces that reflect their s*x assigned at birth. We know that many trans people will simply stop using services rather than using those for their s*x assigned at birth.
The Code is complete unfit for the claimed purpose: it doesn’t protect our access to gendered spaces, it doesn’t protect trans inclusive organisations, and it fails to uphold the UK’s human rights commitments.
A motion calling for the draft Code of Practice to be disapproved has been tabled and we need your MP to sign it. If neither House rejects it within roughly 40 days, the guidance becomes statutory guidance and we cannot allow this to happen.
