Happy International Pronouns Day! Using the right pronouns is essential to respect people & can help trans people feel seen. Declaring pronouns can create a safe place & can avoid making assumptions. Remember, for some people, pronouns, like gender, aren’t fixed. #InternationalPronounsDay

Today, NHS England has updated hospital accommodation guidance to reflect the changes to the EHRC Code of Practice on sex. Here is our initial response: https://ow.ly/Iceb50ZY88u

We are going to analyse the guidance in detail and provide trans people with more information on how it may impact your healthcare and what your rights are. For health workers, we’re going to support you to provide as inclusive care as possible, and how to advocate for your trans patients.

We know there’s a lot of fear and uncertainty in the community right now. If you’d like to talk to someone, please reach out to our Support Line on 0800 640 8046, via WhatsApp on 07592 650 496 or by email on supportline@genderedintelligence.co.uk. genderedintelligence.co.uk/news/37-nhs-...

Today, the Government has approved a new EHRC Code of Practice. This document tells service providers that they can exclude trans people from single-sex spaces. This is unlikely to mean that trans people will be excluded routinely, but it does mean it may happen more often.

5 Aug

In response to requests from trans young people and trans adults, we’ve co-developed guidance for people on what the new Code of Practice means, how to assess your safety in public spaces, and what to do when challenged. Download our guidance: ow.ly/CfMA50ZwFp4

Long waits for gender affirming care are a failure of healthcare and policy. No one should have to wait years to access the healthcare they need. Waiting Well has been created to support trans and non-binary adults who are waiting for care at Exeter/The Laurels Gender Identity Clinic.

14 July

Waiting Well aims to make the waiting experience feel more manageable and less lonely. There are different spaces depending on whether you want to build community, gain knowledge, or just have a chat with someone who gets it. Find out more: genderedintelligence.co.uk/services/120...

We see, and we hear the response to the draft conversion practice Bill. We know there are loopholes that need to be closed, and we welcome the insight and critique. GI is a trans community, and we would never support a bill that puts trans people at risk or allows conversion practices to continue.

View full thread

We have campaigned for a fully-inclusive ban for six years, and we will keep pushing until this legislation is fit for purpose: no loopholes, no delays, no excuse for abuse.

We know it's not there right now. Today's draft is another small step on a journey that finishes with the end of conversion practices. We're in it together every step of the way. Love and solidarity from all of us at GI 💜

Today's legislation is a first draft, not the final text. It's our job now to make sure it becomes a robust, effective, and inclusive ban. We know that people are hurting, and we're asking for your grace and patience while we work with community and legal experts to find the best path forward.

👏 We did it! Today the Government have published their long overdue draft Bill to ban conversion practices. For far too long, LGBTQ+ people have been subject to practices that seek to change or suppress who they are. Conversion practices have caused profound and lasting harm to many LGBTQ+ people.

The Ban Conversion Practices Coalition, which GI is part of, is proud to have led the campaign to ban conversion practices, working tirelessly over the past six years to get to this stage.

While this is a moment to be celebrated, this is the beginning of a process not the end. Over the coming weeks and months, we will carefully review the legislation to ensure it is robust, effective, and puts an end to conversion practices once and for all.

The amended EHRC Code of Practice has been released. Lots of people will make claims about what is and isn’t going to happen as a result, and there will be many different interpretations of the Code in the next few days. We urge everyone not to jump to conclusions.

New EHRC guidance is due today. Remember: ➡️ Early reports based on unattributed briefings are spin, not facts. ➡️ This is civil law around who can and cannot bring discrimination claims - not criminal law. ➡️ Whatever it says, it is a choice by this government. They can fix it. ➡️ We will keep going.
