Nadia Whittome, MP for Nottingham East, has tabled a motion to reject the EHRC code of practice. The code has been redrafted in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling, which stated that the legal definition of a woman, in relation to the Equality Act, is based on biological sex. The guidance, if approved, would have far-reaching implications for trans people.
Labour MP for Nottingham East, Nadia Whittome, has written to Bridget Phillipson, the Women and Equalities Minister, ahead of forthcoming statutory guidance from the EHRC that could have a profound impact of trans lives in the UK.
