As the Equality and Human Rights Commission's (EHRC) new code of practice moves closer to becoming law, concerns are growing not only about its impact on transgender people but also about whether it can realistically be implemented in everyday settings.
A group of 135 MPs, including 69 Labour MPs, has signed a Commons motion calling for the EHRC guidance to be blocked. While the motion is unlikely to stop the code from taking effect, it highlights mounting unease among lawmakers who argue that the rules remain unclear, difficult to enforce and could create unintended consequences for public services, workplaces and healthcare providers.
