They should review their arrangements for transgender guests as a matter of urgency| Debbie Hayton
The Equality and Human Rights Commission has quietly locked the evidence away.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission’s segregation consultation is a horrible document to look at. But if you’re planning to fill it in, you needn’t do so alone. Tomorrow evening (Tuesday 10th June) I’ll be joining Katy Montgomerie on her livestream from 8pm to talk about and work through the EHRC consultation. We’ll hopefully make […]| Dr Ruth Pearce
