I'd agree. I remember having a conversation with a white cane user at a bus stop during the pandemic. He explained he was using that stop in preference to others and how temporary measures meant some Edinburgh streets were off limits for him. It made independent living more difficult. #EqualityAct

It's illegal to discriminate against someone because of a protected characteristic.

Disability is one of nine characteristics in the #EqualityAct.

An LGBTQ political PAC endorsed a Democrat days after her ad bragged about keeping trans kids out of school sports and curricula, and trans advocates aren't letting it slide.

The political arm of the Congressional Equality Caucus backed Rep. Marcy Kaptur's reelection just days after she ran an ad boasting she voted to keep 'transgender ideology' out of schools, reigniting a fight over how far LGBTQ+ political groups will bend to protect a Democratic…

The EHRC’s new services code shouldn’t simply be copied into workplace policies.

Different legal relationships can engage different parts of the Equality Act. In employment, start with what the law actually requires and the most inclusive lawful approach.

WHEN DID THE EXCEPTION BECOME THE RULE?

Single-sex services are permitted under the Equality Act in particular circumstances.

But are we increasingly treating the exception as the default?

What does a GRC actually mean after For Women Scotland?

A trans person can now be legally recognised as one sex for some purposes, while treated as another under the Equality Act.

Has the law created an “intermediate zone” of legal recognition?

Fair tips allocation doesn't mean identical shares, but the criteria your employer picks can still be discriminatory. Here's what to watch for, using length of service as the clearest example. #Pay #EqualityAct #Discrimination
Can a tips policy be discriminatory? - RightsAt.work
Fair doesn't have to mean equal. Your employer can allocate tips based on role, hours, seniority or performance, and none of that is unlawful on its own. But

SINGLE-SEX SPACES: EXCEPTION OR RULE?

The Equality Act starts with protection against discrimination. Single-sex services are exceptions that can apply in particular circumstances.

Are we increasingly treating the exception as the default?

A leaked document claims the UK reserves 66% of top public-sector roles for ethnic minorities, disabled, or low-income candidates. Critics say this creates a caste system that undermines merit and discriminates against white applicants. #EqualityAct #Diversity #UKPolitics

The #UK is a good exemplar of this effect as so many have simply accepted our flawed April 2025 #SupremeCourt ruling on what they believe our #EqualityAct meant in 2010 [having silenced all "we were there" individuals] that's causing chaos, harm & suppressed 'distaste' liberation all over the place.

ARE GRCs NOW MEANINGLESS?

After For Women Scotland, a trans person with a GRC can be recognised as their acquired sex for some legal purposes, but treated according to biological sex under the Equality Act.

So what is the function of a GRC now?

Schedule 3 of the Equality Act permits separate or single-sex services in certain circumstances. But these are exceptions, not a blanket rule.

The key question is proportionality and the particular circumstances.

Are we losing sight of that?

Yes! Really shocking that set of steps, surely not #EqualityAct compliant

Just shows how the artists impressions mislead, & the devil is in the detailed plans

The pedestrian facilities further along are pretty terrible too - ramps with v sharp corners

What happened to permeability?

I spoke with Tom Nicholas about the purpose of the EHRC guidance.

It is intended to help service providers navigate these issues in practice. But an important distinction matters: guidance can be taken into account, but it is not itself binding law.
