In the Telegraph today:

"The UN has been warned that the equalities watchdog is being targeted by trans activists trying to “undermine their credibility” in a letter from more than 50 women’s groups and campaigners.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is facing a complaint about its stance on trans rightss_ and alleged politicisation.
Writing in support of the watchdog, a range of women’s groups, LGB rights organisations, Lords and MPs have now expressed their “concern about recent attempts to undermine its credibility”.
“The British public deserves well-considered, sound legislation on human rights issues and an independent human rights institution to promote them. We believe it has such an institution in the EHRC,” the letter said."
Anyone seen either letter? The Stonewall-led one, or this? The article goes on:
"But groups including Conservatives for Women, Labour Women’s Declaration, FiLiA, LGB Alliance and Fair Play for Women have written to Ganhri noting that the ECHR “is mandated to balance the rights” of all of those protected under the Equality Act including women.
Joanna Cherry QC MP, Baroness Jenkin of Kennington, Lord Young of Norwood Green, the former governor of the BBC, Elaine Willis, former chair of trustees at Stonewall, and Simon Fanshawe, the LGBT charity’s co-founder, have all added their names to the letter."
