On one side, the judge has said we are right about the law in a central part of our case: it can be entirely lawful for service providers to allow trans women to use the women’s toilets – without having to admit cis men. This means that the minister will have to send back the EHRC’s draft guidance to be rewritten. It’s good news. But for workplace toilets, the decision could mean that many trans people are excluded, and forced to use third spaces. We believe this is wrong, and that it is unacceptable. It reduces trans people to a third sex and gives little or no weight to the harm done to trans people by excluding them. Overall, the judge has decided we’ve lost. But we have lodged an appeal. For that we need your help. Litigation is not cheap – the EHRC is claiming costs of almost £300k, and we have to pay our lawyers too. They think a big bill is going to stop us, because we’re not backed by billionaires or the government. But they’re wrong. Trans rights are human rights – and we will defend them. We always knew this would be a long and hard fight. We are going nowhere. We will fight until the battle is won. Details Funds raised will support our legal cases battling the attacks on trans rights which have followed the Supreme Court decision in For Women Scotland. Ten per cent of the funds raised will be a contribution to the general running costs of Good Law Project. It is our policy only to raise sums that we anticipate could be spent on the work we are crowdfunding for. If there is a surplus it will go towards our work fighting to stop hate, and bring hope.
