The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) plans to propose guidance that could ban trans individuals from single-sex public spaces. Expected to be finalized this month, the guidance may require service providers to prevent trans people from accessing facilities that align with their gender identity. Reports indicate that the EHRC's proposed changes would mandate that trans individuals present ID in restrooms. This has faced considerable opposition from the public and organizations like the Good Law Project, which suggest the regulations infringe upon privacy rights and exceed necessary requirements established by past court rulings.
The proposed changes to the EHRC guidance would effectively ban trans people from using facilities aligned with their gender identity, including toilets and changing rooms.
The Good Law Project aims to challenge the EHRC's trans guidance in court, stating that the provisions go beyond what the Supreme Court judgment necessitates.
The EHRC's initial public consultation period was criticized, leading to an extension from two weeks to six weeks after significant public backlash.
The EHRC's forthcoming guidance has drawn major pushback from the public, who argue it will exclude trans individuals from participating in public life.
