EHRC commissioner calls for ‘period of correction’ on trans rights after legal ruling

[Binglebong]

This is just a wonderful article, despite the Guardian trying to twist it.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/jun/06/ehrc-commissioner-calls-for-trans-people-to-accept-reduced-rights-after-years-of-lies (The title has changed but the original headline is in the URL still has the old scaremongering one.)

She was on X earlier asking them to correct their false interpretation of what she said.

Weaselly bastards.

Not a woman to go up against! Although I wouldn't want to, she sounds awesome.

Very unwise to defame a KC!

As of yesterday evening, the header & first paragraph had undergone 7 changes as the Guardian’s legals have nervous breakdowns.

Oh the Guardian, my friend. The old ship is taking a long time to turn on this one but eventually dear, I trust the course will correct and the trans maidens, fence sitters and brocialists who have ruled your roost for a decade now, to the detriment of everything you once stood for, will quietly shift their subtexts or loudly flounce down the gangway, lanyards trailing in the wind. Till then I’ll just keep using you for the awesome free recipes and the occasional chuckle over something Queen Posh Fence Sitter Marina scribbles down.

Blood ‘jane fae’ (lower case obvs) in the article. He who has written articles demanding an attempted murderer be housed in a female prison because….feelings

“Unfortunately, young people and trans people have been lied to over many years about what their rights are. It’s like Naomi said – I just can’t say it in a more diplomatic way than that. They have been lied to, and there has to be a period of correction, because other people have rights.”

And who lied to them?

Stonewall are the main offenders

The Guardian FAFO.

With the invaluable assistance of @MLewisLawyer of @PatronLaw & Beth Grossman of @DoughtyStreet, I’ve reached settlement with @guardian in relation to an article written about me by @peterwalker99, published on 6 June 2025, which was incorrect as admitted in this statement.

Dear Akua Reindorf KC

On 6 June, the Guardian published an article in print and online under the headline "EHRC Commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights". The article reported on analysis provided by Ms Reindorf on the Judgment of the Supreme Court in For Women Scotland Scottish Ministers at a speaking event at the LSE on 1 May 2025.

The headline and first paragraph of the article were incorrect as they stated that Ms Reindorf had publicly called for trans people to accept reduced rights. Ms Reindorf had not called for trans people to accept reduced rights or perceived reduced rights, as an amended version subsequently stated. The article was corrected later that day and the headline is now "EHRC commissioner calls for 'period of correction' on trans rights after legal ruling"

On 8 June, the Guardian published the following apology to Ms Reindorf in its online Corrections and clarifications column:

An article and its headline sought to summarise remarks made by Akua Reindorf KC, at a debate about April's supreme court ruling on the meaning of the term "woman" in the Equality Act, as calling for transgender people to accept a reduction in their rights (Trans people must accept loss of rights, says EHRC commissioner, 6 June, p2). In fact, she had commented, speaking in a personal capacity, that "[trans people] have been lied to … about what their rights are" and that there "has to be a period of correction because other people have rights". We are happy to clarify this and apologise to Akua Reindorf KC for
any misunderstanding.

An apology and correction were also published by the Guardian in print on 9 June.

I confirm that the Guardian accepts that the article was originally incorrect and has apologised to Ms Reindorf. It has also agreed to make a payment to her and to contribute to her legal costs.
