The Equality and Human Rights Commission has published interim guidance following last week’s Supreme Court decision. It instructs organisations that manage public spaces and workplaces to create segregated mixed-sex bathrooms, washing and changing facilities for Trans+ people to use.
It does this on the basis that same-sex spaces can only be used by people that align with the Supreme Court’s definition of ‘biological sex’, while also saying that Trans+ perceived to be of the wrong gender can’t use bathrooms that match their biological sex.
If taken beyond interim guidance and made statutory, it would be the biggest human rights disaster since racial segregation and apartheid.
The guidance covers workplaces, schools, and services open to the public, such as hospitals, shops and restaurants.
It stipulates that, where possible, mixed-sex toilets, washing and changing facilities should now be provided. In an interim period, it sets out where this is not possible, trans people should not be put in a position where there are no facilities for them to use.
What ethnic group is being systematically murdered here?
Not an ethnic group but transgender people are the targets of genocide. It doesn’t start with systematic killings. It ends there, and denying them medical treatment is already systemic killing, only indirect.
Edit: I’m not able to reply to this person’s reply for some reason (did they block me?) so I instead paste it below:
We are currently on stages 3, 4 and 6 of genocide. The point is to identify them before they get to stage 9.

Genocide refers to the systemic forced killing or forced sterilisation of an ethnic group.
Transgender people in the United Kingdom are entitled to the same medical treatment as everybody else. They have a right to life and a right to reproduce and are not forcibly sterilised.
