Right out the toaster. Reliable, with some real depth.
Summary
This article is a political call-to-action urging the UK Parliament to reverse the Supreme Court judgment in 'For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers' (April 2025), which the authors argue has interfered with trans people's rights. It demands restoring the Equality Act 2010 and Gender Recognition Act 2004 provisions that recognized European Convention rights for trans people, and rejecting the current Draft Code on Services and Associations to ensure UK law allows clear options for single-sex services while protecting trans rights.
