The EHRC practice fails everyone and effectively pushes trans people out of public life, it subjects all women to gender policing based on stereotypes, and it does not provide clarity to organisations that want to be trans-inclusive.

It ushers in an era of enforced segregation for trans people, the policing of which will be outsourced to service providers.
