Our FOI reveals a year of correspondence showing how ministers and senior officials at the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology (DSIT) met repeatedly with the anti-rights group Sex Matters while shaping the government’s new digital identities framework, the system…| Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective
How a single unconfirmed complaint became a media weapon, and why trans allies need to hold the line, not fuel the fire. Scrolling through socials this week feels like watching a fire stoked from both ends, and in the middle is Marks & Spencer. Post after post calling out Marks & Spencer, condemning them for […]| Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective
We no longer recognise the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) as either independent or credible in its statutory role. The UK Government’s decision to proceed with the appointment of Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson as Chair of the EHRC despite formal objections from both the Joint Committee on Human Rights and Women and Equalities Committee marks […]| Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective
The shameful era of Section 28 echoes in the trauma of those subjected to government-sanctioned homophobia, embedding silence and stigma that continues to harm LGBTQIA+ people today. Margaret Thatcher, in her infamous reasoning behind the indefensible decision to “prohibit the promotion of homosexuality”, declared her intentions with resentful transparency; “Children who need to be taught […]| Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective
The EHRC is no longer an institution of protection. It is a tool of orchestrated erasure, and Labour is choosing to keep it that way.| Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective
TACC (Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective) can now reveal, through documents obtained via a Freedom of Information request, that in early September 2024, the anti-trans activists Sex Matters secured a closed-door meeting with key figures at the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), followed by direct correspondence with the Chair, Baroness Kishwer Falkner. What followed […]| Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective

For too long, certain organisations and activists have presented themselves as defenders of “women’s rights” or “sex-based rights” — while consistently ignoring or opposing actual human rights protections for women, trans people, and other marginalised communities. It is time we name them for what they are: anti-rights actors. These groups have shown repeatedly that their […] The post Calling Them What They Are: Anti-Rights Campaigners, Not Women’s Rights Defenders appeared fi...| Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective
The EHRC says it exists to uphold dignity, fairness, and equality for all protected groups. But the internal emails and submissions we’ve now analysed tell a different story — one where trans people are routinely misgendered, dehumanised, and portrayed as threats, and the Commission never once speaks up to stop it. We’ve gone line by […] The post They Called Us Dangerous: Inside the Language the EHRC Let Through appeared first on Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective.| Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is consulting on new guidance that would reshape access to single-sex services in the UK, but campaigners and researchers warn it’s not just a clarification of the law. It’s an assault on basic dignity. According to a detailed Equality Impact Assessment compiled by Coolwood Books, the EHRC’s draft […] The post The EHRC’s Guidance Risks Harm on a National Scale appeared first on Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective.| Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective
In January 2023, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) held a closed-door meeting with Sex Matters, a group whose core mission is to roll back legal protections for trans people. For months, the meeting remained hidden from public view until our Freedom of Information (FOI) request forced its disclosure. The EHRC’s formal FOI response […] The post How the EHRC Enabled an Anti-Trans Agenda appeared first on Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective.| Trans Advocacy and Complaints Collective
