Sir, Your leading article says that the Equality and Human Rights Commission “should state that trans women must not be allowed in single-sex spaces” and that trans people cannot take part in women’s sport. If the EHRC were to publish such guidance, it would be wrong.
Trans women are welcome in single-sex spaces, just not in those for women. Trans women can play sport, just not in the women’s category. Activists claim that trans people are banned from various organisations and activities, that they have been taken out of the Equality Act and that their existence is under threat. Misinformation like this feeds that narrative, to the detriment of us all, and particularly to women who are arguing for safety and fairness across the board.
