Toilets and changing rooms must be used on basis of biological sex, guidance confirms bbc.in/3PuDmTl




22 years ago, the European Court of Human Rights delivered a landmark ruling that changed the lives of transgender people across the UK forever. On July 11, 2002, the court ruled unanimously in favour of Christine Goodwin, a British trans woman who had faced severe workplace harassment, issues with her National Insurance contributions, and was denied the right to marry in her acquired gender. The Grand Chamber found that the UK's failure to legally recognise trans people's gender violated two fundamental rights under the European Convention on Human Rights. The Goodwin v. United Kingdom judgment became the catalyst for the Gender Recognition Act 2004, which finally granted transgender people in the UK full legal recognition in their acquired gender and the right to obtain new birth certificates. This archival footage captures the moment that reshaped trans rights in Britain.







While it appears that the government has successfully pushed back on some particularly harmful elements in the previous draft, the new Code of Practice will still lead to the exclusion of trans people from services and facilities that they have used without issue for a very long time. This will do nothing to improve women’s lives and the many struggles we face, but it will put trans people (and anyone perceived as trans) at increased risk of discrimination, harassment and violence. The Code unfortunately still represents the culmination of years of anti-trans campaigning from a small, well-funded minority who have had outsized influence in the media and in politics, and have weaponised the courts for their own ends. The legal situation for trans people is now deeply incoherent and means that it is untenable for them to be able live their lives with dignity. This is completely out of line with the values of equality that a Labour government is meant to champion. Instead of making this Code statutory, the government should be legislating to clarify and protect trans people’s rights, privacy and inclusion.
