To make sure folk are aware: The #EHRCConsultation is still open, until 15/07/2025, for Welsh-language responses. Nothing will happen before then.
Except that we will still know that we are who we know, and say, we are in spite of people 'othering' us.

I wrote a blog post about transgender people and workplace health, esp. in light of recent events:

It's a stream of consciousness, I might tidy it up later!

More on EHRC consultation. The Equality and Human Rights Commission EHRC is supposed to support and protect people’s rights. Their consultation is raising some serious and interesting questions! Here’s one for folks. And here’s how crazy, conflicting and confusing it is! According to the new guidance and the law they plan on implementing, trans women will legally be men but protected under sex discrimination for women! This is because they are perceived to be women and it’s classed as ‘same disadvantage’. So my response to them is: How about a trans woman being strip searched by a male officer for British Transport Police as they now plan to do. So according to this it’s the ‘same disadvantage’ as if it was a non trans woman being strip searched then. Also it’s the ‘same disadvantage’ when it comes to using women’s facilities and women’s spaces then! Oh but no that’s not included. 😡🤦♀️😳 Any one else make sense of this?
More on the confusing EHRC consultation. If trans women are at the ‘same disadvantage’ as non trans women (women at birth) - shouldn’t that apply to strip searches, use of toilets and access to women’s spaces?
Or am I being daft here?
