For years now, we’ve had the persistent feeling that the EHRC is simply not listening to trans people or trans organisations. That’s part of why we referred them to GANHRI, whose accreditation report we are expecting any day now. Meanwhile, we have unearthed clear evidence that the EHRC has refused to listen even to its […]

The EHRC has gotten into some hot water in the last few years. However, 2023 was an especially rough time for the Commission, especially under Falkner. You had the IE SOGI calling the EHRC out to the UN. You had the GANRHI Sub-Committee on Accreditation initiate a special review, The leaked investigation into the chair […]

In October last year, TransActual made a submission to GANHRI’s Sub-Committee on Accreditation, regarding the EHRC’s U-turn on the definition of “sex” in the Equality Act.

We’ve submitted a formal complaint to the EHRC asking them to investigate Sex Matters for sustained conduct that appears to amount to harassment and discrimination against trans people. This is about their repeated messaging that frames a protected group as inherently deviant, predatory, or dangerous, while persistently denying their identity. Sex Matters has an unjustifiable […]

Co-authored by Mise Rather than working to “rebuild trust”, the new EHRC Chair ignores the trans community and jumps straight into bed with anti-trans campaigners to discuss “mutual priorities”. On November 30th 2025, Baroness Kishwer Falkner’s four-year term as EHRC Chair came to an end. The following day, the new Chair, Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson, took […]

A claim has been circulating in parts of the Gender Critical Ideological Movement (GCIM) that the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require the main door to a toilet or changing room to be lockable for facilities to count as separate. Under that interpretation, a standard toilet cubicle would not qualify as a “separate […]

On the 19th of March 2013, school teacher Lucy Meadows took her own life after being hounded in the British press. 13 years later and British society has learned nothing. In fact, it has regressed to a world of transphobic hate, perpetuated by bigots under the guise of protected beliefs. Our two primary political parties […]

On 28 February 2026, the Trans Advocacy & Complaints Collective submitted additional material to The Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) Sub-Committee on Accreditation (SCA), supplementing our original third-party submission dated 23 October 2025. The supplemental evidence documents developments and new information that strengthen our concerns about the Equality and…
