This letter from Tony Vaughan KC, the MP for Folkestone, is the clearest articulation Iβve seen on the flaws of the interim update from the EHRC. The section titled βLegal Incoherenceβ hits the nail on the head.
And here we go - as expected, they're going after kids now. This is exactly the sort of thing I warned about when the Supreme Court judgment was released.

π³οΈββ§οΈ We're thinking of our trans and non-binary members and learners today.
π« The UK Supreme Court ruling is a blow but it does not affect our humanity.
βπ» Trans women are women; trans men are men and nonbinary identities are valid.

Donald Trump sparked outrage worldwide with his shocking display of bullying at Friday's Oval office meeting with Ukraineβs President Zelensky. Now, over 145,000 of us are calling to cancel his second UK state visit - will you join the backlash too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

My move to secondaryβ¦ I enjoyed teaching, enjoyed being in the class rather than the rest of the job (Iβd been both promoted and a national union negotiator in FE). Wanted to teach maths because I could see the importance of the subject, both in its own right but also as a gatekeeper qualification
A belief in the importance of education and the potential of education to enact social changeβ¦ but I graduated in 1998 with Section 2a/28 still in place and swore Iβd never set foot in a secondary school again. Got a job in FE by luck rather than designβ¦ 20 years later moved to secondary.
