I can't understand what's actually been decided. Both sides claiming a success?

Woo hoo!!!

Isn't this pretty much what the EHRC guidance says? Yet the GLP are trying to spin this as a win for them?

this does not mean additional, inclusive facilities cannot be provided, and that appropriate provision should be made for trans employees to avoid discrimination.
Does this mean Third Spaces? Bring it on.

Geez not getting this at all, think we need the actual ruling in words.

The GLP sounds like word salad, if it means third spaces fine.

Well that was what the SC said wasn't it? 🤔

I'm confused....

Yes very confused

Everyone's reading and reacting too quickly. What good is it if they have dismissed the case but written in a higher court judgement that trans women can access women's single-sex spaces lawfully?

Exactly what I thought!

Men claiming a trans identity can lawfully enter a women's single sex space, labelled as being for women?

What?

At the moment we only have GLP and Maugham's spinning. It'll need the judgment itself and then probably interpretation by someone knowledgeable.

Also he fails to take into account that there are other people's children involved, not just his.

The 'silver lining' is about service providers and I don't like the sound of it one bit.

Silver was falling in value prices must have rallied these last while

Foran says on x, reposted by Sex Matters:

EHRC succeed in defending the lawfulness of its interim update following the Supreme Court decision in For Women Scotland. The legal challenge brought by the Good Law Project has been dismissed.

Could someone post the main sources from which people are quoting? I'd be really grateful. Finding this very confusing to follow... Thank you. Also... when do we get access to the judgement proper? I thought we'd be able to link to it itself from around now...?

Yay 🙌

I don't think it is. Aren't they just saying they can provide unisex facilities if they want? Will.need to see the actual judgement (rather than GLP propaganda) but the crucial issue is whether people are permitted to use opposite sex facilities. The EHRC has always maintained that it's fine to provide unisex facilities (if these are single occupancy) so this is nothing new.

Brilliant. I will now draft an email to our chief people officer (NHS) asking that the staff changing rooms return to single sex.

judgement here.

Maya and Michael For an on Twitter saying the GLP's attempt has been dismissed. Maya's there in court

The bad law project wasting people's money again.

That’s my reading of it too. I think GLP are misinterpreting the ruling here.

Didn't it say labelled as for women and men? That is, unisex.

Have we got a written judgment yet? I wouldn’t believe Maugham spin.
