I'm bloody furious that the House of Commons Women and Equalities Select Committee have written "to the UK’s equalities watchdog to seek assurances that its guidance on how organisations interpret the landmark supreme court ruling on gender issues does not ignore the needs of transgender people.".

What about women's rights?

"The letter, sent on behalf of the whole committee, asks Falkner to give information on a number of points, including: “What steps the EHRC will be taking to ensure that the code of practice is supportive of the rights of all people (as noted in the supreme court judgment)."
"It also asks “whether the code of practice will clarify rights of trans people, for example around strip-searching by police officers?”

How about the women officers searching these men when we know the men will get a sexual thrill out of it?

How about if you don't want to be searched by someone of the same sex as you, you make a really really big effort not to commit crimes? Just an idea.

Cowards.

It is not the EHRC's job to change legislation.

Not to mention those demands are not in the remit or the power of the EHRC. The guidance will only be as supportive as the actual law.

And they might regret asking the EHRC to clarify the law around strip-searching because Code C says explicitly that searches must be carried out by police officers of the same sex as the detainee
and Annex L of PACE Code C says that PACE code C searches must be compliant with the Equality Act 2010.

It's as if trans is the most important. This is supposed to be the Women's Committee! They want more consultation time as if the SC ruling and interim statutory guidance don't matter.

Fucking hell, how is it so hard to consider 51% of the population who also deserve protections in law.
