- The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is facing criticism for its interim guidance on single-sex spaces, which some argue risks outing transgender people and violating their human rights.
- The guidance follows a Supreme Court ruling stating trans women are not legally women under the Equalities Act, allowing their exclusion from single-sex spaces if deemed "proportionate".
- Critics argue the EHRC guidance could force trans people to reveal their gender identity by avoiding certain facilities, potentially breaching their right to privacy.
- They say there is a lack of clarity on the circumstances for excluding trans people from facilities and who is in charge of making such decisions.
- There are calls for the EHRC to withdraw its guidance until a more comprehensive and inclusive approach is developed.
