A few practical ways to support the trans+ community following the latest developments.
The newly proposed EHRC code of practice, is a serious step backwards for trans+ rights. But it’s important to remember that this guidance is not yet law, and there is still time to challenge it, oppose it, and push back against the harm it could cause.
Here are four things you can do right now.
Your MP works for you, and hearing directly from constituents matters, especially on issues like this. A short, personal message can carry real weight.
You can find your local MP here and contact them directly. We’ve put together a template letter below to make it easier to get started. Feel free to use it as-is or adapt it in your own words.
Dear [MP name],
I am writing to express my deep concern about the EHRC’s latest interim guidance on trans+ people’s access to public spaces.
This is not an abstract legal issue. The practical effect of this guidance will be more people being challenged in toilets and changing rooms, more trans+ people being outed in public, and more fear and humiliation around simply participating in everyday life.
If passed, cis women will also be harmed by this. Any woman perceived as too masculine, too tall, disabled, gender non-conforming, intersex, racialised, or simply not “feminine enough” may face increased scrutiny and harassment in public spaces. Encouraging strangers to police who “belongs” creates a climate of suspicion that harms everyone.
I am especially alarmed that trans+ voices have been so thoroughly sidelined in this process. Guidance that will profoundly affect trans+ people’s lives has been developed while trans+ people and trans-led organisations have been treated as too “biased” to meaningfully consult, while groups focused on restricting trans+ inclusion have been given significant influence.
This should concern anyone who cares about fairness or democratic accountability.
This guidance will not make people safer. It risks normalising exclusion, increasing public harassment, and making ordinary life more dangerous for trans+ people and anyone who does not conform to narrow expectations of gender.
I urge you to oppose this guidance and call for it to be withdrawn and rewritten through proper consultation with trans+ people, legal experts, women’s organisations, disabled people’s organisations, and service providers with genuine expertise in inclusion and safeguarding.
Thank you for your time.
Yours sincerely,
[Your name]
On 24th June 2026, Trans Solidarity Alliance is organising their Mass Lobby for Trans Equality in Parliament, running from 1 to 4pm.
A mass lobby is when large numbers of people ask to meet their MP at the same time, in the same place, about the same issue, and it works. Their record-breaking lobby against the EHRC’s interim guidance in 2025 led to real changes in the conversation. There is more to do, and showing up in numbers sends a message that cannot be ignored.
Use this form on the Trans Solidarity Alliance website to invite your MP and register your place. Whether or not you’ve done something like this before, you’ll be welcomed and supported on the day.
The Good Law Project has been challenging the EHRC’s interim guidance since the Supreme Court ruling broke, arguing that it is transphobic, harmful, and legally wrong.
Their High Court challenge secured some important clarifications, but the judgment still falls short of reflecting the legal and lived reality for trans+ people. They are now appealing that decision, and their work remains one of the most direct ways to push back through the courts.
You can support their legal work by donating through their website. Every contribution helps fund the legal expertise needed to hold the EHRC to account.
While this situation continues to develop, practical support matters too. Toilet Map UK is the UK’s largest database of publicly accessible toilets, with over 14,000 facilities mapped across the country. You can filter specifically for gender-neutral options, making it a genuinely useful resource for navigating public spaces with more confidence right now.
Share it with people who might need it. Sometimes the most useful thing we can do is make sure everyone has the practical information they need to get through the day.
This moment is hard. Whether you are trans yourself or someone who believes in fairness for everyone, communities have always found ways to resist and to keep moving forward.
Every letter sent, every lobby attended, every donation made, and every person helped to find a safe toilet is an act of defiance and of care. We’re not going anywhere, and neither are you.
Take the first step with Anne Health.
We’re here to guide and support you with inclusive, gender-affirming care built around you.
