There is now less than one week to fill in the EHRC’s consultation on the proposed changes to the Equality Act 2010. Allies need to ACT NOW to ensure that trans people’s voices are heard.
We recommend that trans people do not fill in the consultation unless they feel entirely confident that doing so will not adversely affect their health and/or wellbeing. Instead, it is a much better use of our time to lobby institutions to respond, as organisations’ responses will likely hold more clout than individuals’.
Use the template email here to contact organisations you know or are a part of and encourage them to respond before the deadline.
Cis allies should also fill in the consultation, using the guidance from Mermaids, Scottish Trans and TransActual, and Gendered Intelligence (see https://oxfordtransrights.org/allies-get-involved).
