The Green Party has urged the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) to retract its recent guidance on access to single-sex spaces for trans individuals, labeling it as impractical and dangerous. Carla Denyer, party co-leader, criticized the guidance for potentially exposing trans people to discrimination. The EHRC's recommendations include banning trans women from women's spaces and trans men from men's spaces, which prompted backlash from both the Green Party and trans advocacy groups, who argue the guidance is harmful and fails to consider the experiences of trans individuals.
The Green Party has called for the 'ill-considered' guidance on single-sex spaces access for trans people to be withdrawn immediately, stating it endangers trans individuals.
The guidance, recommended by the EHRC, suggests banning trans women from women's facilities and trans men from men's facilities, raising significant concerns.
Denyer criticized the EHRC's advice as 'rushed and ill-thought out', noting a failure to listen to trans voices amid a strong tradition of tolerance in Britain.
Trans charity TransActual condemned the EHRC guidance as 'appalling' and a 'bigoted attempt to segregate trans people', emphasizing it could be unlawful.
