Trans Rights: The Conjuring Trick at the Toilet Door

The toilet debate is a conjuring trick. And it is time to name it as one.

Scroll through social media and you would think the entire argument about the Supreme Court ruling and the EHRC Code came down to a single question: which toilet does a trans person use? That framing is not accidental. It is a strategy, chosen precisely because it makes women's objections look petty and obsessive, reduces a sweeping legal settlement about women's fundamental rights to a single emotionally charged doorway, and keeps women permanently on the defensive.

Here is what the debate is actually about.

The ONS Census found that 0.54 per cent of people in England and Wales report a gender identity different from their birth sex. Within that figure, fewer than half have any outward transgender appearance. No medical treatment. No social transition. Self-identification alone. Roughly one in two hundred people.
These people's rights matter. The right not to be harassed, not to face discrimination, not to be subjected to violence: those are absolute. But rights are not the same thing as demands. And the demand that fifty-one per cent of the population surrender sex-based protections won through a century of organised political struggle is not a rights claim. It is a power claim.

On 16 April 2025, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that "woman" and "man" in the Equality Act refer to biological sex. Unanimously. Not a narrow majority. Every justice on the bench. The ruling also confirmed that trans people retain full legal protection under the protected characteristic of gender reassignment. Both protections stand in law. What the ruling refused to do was allow one to erase the other.

The EHRC Code, now laid before Parliament, covers far more than toilets. It covers domestic violence refuges. Single-sex hospital wards. Communal changing rooms. Intimate personal care. Competitive sport. Women's right to meet, organise and associate as women. It states plainly that a service for women and trans women is not a single-sex service. That a refuge admitting male-bodied people is not a refuge from male violence. These are not cruel statements. They are logical ones.

Nurses have been hauled before employment tribunals for understanding this. Working class women with mortgages and families, doing physical, demanding work, punished for knowing that a female ward means what it says. Anyone who objects is branded a bigot, a transphobe, a hater.

The accusation is the weapon. And like all weapons discharged without discrimination, it has destroyed its own utility: words that once carried genuine moral weight have been debased into instruments of political enforcement, fired at nurses, mothers, lesbians, gay men and scientists for the sole offence of stating material reality.

This is a liberal campaign. It is not a left-wing one. The left begins with material reality. Bodies. Class. Violence. Women are not oppressed because of how they feel about being female. They are oppressed because they are female. A left politics that cannot say what a woman is has abandoned women, not theoretically, but actually: in tribunals, in refuges, on wards, on sports fields, in the silencing of anyone who says out loud what most people know to be true.

[Sex Matters @SexMattersOrg]

NEW: Poll shows that the vast majority of people prefer straightforward single-sex facilities in workplaces and public spaces.

This varies little by age or voting pattern. Politicians who prevaricate over the Supreme Court judgment are out of step with the public.

Sex Matters commissioned an independent, nationally representative poll. We asked:

“For each of the following, do you prefer them to be single sex or mixed sex?”

@GMB Why have you hidden this reply? It’s not abusive. It’s not inaccurate. It’s a perfectly legitimate response.

[Sarah Ludford 🇬🇧 🇮🇪🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @SarahLudford]

To say I am upset & bewildered that the leader of my party @EdwardJDavey - who last year said ‘we’ - the @libdems - ‘entirely accept’ the SC judgment - has now put his name to this nonsense is the understatement of the year.
Totally contradictory.
Massively disappointing.

@unisontheunion It was reps from your union who came to my workplace LGBT network and misinformed them about the law so the guy who invited you could waste time and money writing a guideline I promptly had pulled. You're liars and time wasters.

[Emma Bateman @EmmaBatemanGPW]

Whilst rape victims usually know their attacker, victims of lesser sexual offences like indecent exposure and voyeurism often don't. These are opportunistic crimes. A 2023 report showed 71% of UK women have been subjected to these kind of crimes. 95% were not reported.

This WPATH-certified psychotherapist influenced transgender "health" guidelines regarding "gender dysphoria" in adolescents, which includes recommendations for halting puberty.

"Laura" Jacobs also promoted BDSM practices such as "age play" and "genital torture."

Further evidence this week that girls simply don’t matter to the judiciary.

On July 2, 2021 a 15 year old girl from Geel, Belgium was invited to a friend’s place to watch the Belgium V Italy UEFA Euro quarterfinal match.

She was offered a drink and accepted it. She remembers nothing about the rest of that evening.

Later, when she woke up in the basement she had bites all over her and felt a searing pain in her vagina.

Fast forward to 2023, and she saw a video of herself being gang raped by three men. The video had been circulating at her school and clearly showed the assault and the men treating her like a “play doll” even though she was unconscious.

Sadly this led to her being bullied, slut-shamed and has had a lasting impact on her and her family. She is afraid to go outside.

In late April 2026, two of the main perpetrators known only as YG (22) and JVU (23) were prosecuted for rape, assault, filming and voyeurism. The third accomplice was a minor and dealt with separately

Just this week, the two adults were found guilty, each given a 3 year suspended sentence, sent on a training course and told to pay Euro 12,500 to the girl and Euro 2,500 to her parents.

That is all they for raping a minor, recording it and disseminating it. No prison time, a training course and a fine.

@kifatlarge @ContorSien1527 @akuareindorf @owenjonesjourno @EHRC And by 'this' I mean dosabled toikets being approproated for use by anyone able bodied person who doesn't want to (or can't) use those approproate for there sex.

[Tiff Weatherwax - KPSS @Tiff_Weather]

@kifatlarge @ContorSien1527 @akuareindorf @owenjonesjourno @EHRC Very. Not just pissed off. Life is already significantly limited by toiket access. This will limit access to public life still further for many people.

Iranian hairstylist Ami Moghadam received death threats for posting videos of women receiving haircuts on Instagram.

So she decided to troll the Islamic Regime and their oppressive mandatory hijab laws in the most epic, hilarious way possible. 😂

"At least 200 illegal "baby factories" have been shut down by the Nigerian authorities in the last five years..Sometimes these girls are released, other times they die during childbirth, or are murdered and placed in the grounds of the organisation" says social worker Ms Coker.

I'm afraid you are terribly confused. You can't self-ID *into the disability parts of the EA*.

1. If you claim that you are discriminated against because of a disability you don't have, that's just lying and your claim will not be successful.

2. If you are discriminated against on the basis of someone else's perception that you have a disability, you're not the one identifying as disabled, the other party is.

3. If you pretend to have a disability and someone discriminates against you because of that, you are *still* not self-IDing into the disability parts of the EA, because it would still be discrimination because of the *perception* of disability.

Now... since that's cleared up, why would you be going around lying about being disabled in the first place?

[Tiff Weatherwax - KPSS @Tiff_Weather]

@ContorSien1527 @akuareindorf @owenjonesjourno @EHRC MS isn't just disbaility it's a chronic illness. It is primarily our illness that disables us not our environment. The Social Model can go swing.

[Tiff Weatherwax - KPSS @Tiff_Weather]

@sinead_ian @spiralmoney @jk_rowling Oh, definitely. Far, far cheaper to slap up a rainbow sign and buy a few pronoun badges than to actually make public life accessible for a variety of different disabilities.

[Tiff Weatherwax - KPSS @Tiff_Weather]

@sinead_ian @spiralmoney @jk_rowling We've been forced teamed for a long time. Interestingly, the very worst abuse I've experienced from trans activists has been when speaking up for disabled women's need for access to same sex intimate care.

[Akua Reindorf KC @akuareindorf]

In truth there isn't a single objection raised by transactivists that's not addressed in the Code. It suggests a range of provision to suit everyone. They don't want a balance of rights. They just want everyone to agree that trans-identified men are women.

[Akua Reindorf KC @akuareindorf]

I've never seen any evidence that trans-identified men face an enhanced risk of assault in men's loos.

But in case they do, the @EHRC Code says that, wherever practicable, additional mixed sex options should be made available.

Another option is for men to stop hitting other men
