Protest placards left on the steps of the EHRC’s Glasgow office. Signs say ‘trans liberation now’, ‘protect trans kids’, ‘we are just existing’

At least 200 trans people and allies came out to the EHRC’s Glasgow office at lunchtime today to tell them what we think of their bad-faith, discriminatory, transphobic and misogynistic ‘guidance’. Trans power!
