Solving a non existent problem.

If it had been #DragonDen #KishwerFalkner would have been told to "stop love, do some other line of work! You're obsessed!"

And Dr. #MaryAnnStephenson would have left empty handed when looking for roll out funding.

My email to the Women and Equalities Committee (womeqcom@parliament.uk) voicing my concerns about appointing Mary-Ann Stephenson as EHRC chair

#TransRightsAreHumanRights #MaryAnnStephenson #EHRC
To the Women and Equalities Committee. I wish to record my grave concern about the government’s proposal that Mary-Ann Stephenson should succeed Kishwer Falkner as chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission. To fulfil its remit as an independent body safeguarding our human rights, the EHRC must be chaired by someone with an unimpeachable reputation for fairness and an absolute commitment to ensuring that everybody’s rights are protected. Regardless of Dr Stephenson’s paper credentials, her documented alignment with ‘gender critical’ (i.e. anti-trans) ideology surely precludes her appointment, as this renders her unfit to defend the rights of people with one of the nine protected characteristics in the Equality Act 2010, namely ‘gender reassignment’. As a trans person, I have been devastated to read about each fresh attack on my rights by the EHRC under its current chair (who tells us to try to advocate for our own rights). It’s time to draw a line under this and restore the reputation that the EHRC once had, as a defender of human rights rather than an underminer of them. I don’t believe Mary-Ann Stephenson is the person to do this. Anna Nicholson.
