The publication of the Draft Code on Services and Associations on Thursday 21 May 2026 has brought into sharp focus the way in which the Supreme Court judgment in ‘For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers’ of April 2025 has interfered with the rights of trans people in the UK.

We call on parliament to:

1.      Reverse FWS v SM and restore to full effect the Equality Act 2010 and Gender Recognition Act 2004 provisions which recognised the European Convention Rights of trans people.

2.      Reject the present draft Code of Practice and ensure UK law allows clear options for single-sex services and associations to be trans-inclusive.

3.      Ensure that trans people are enabled to play a full part in society as their genuine selves and examine how non-binary and intersex people can be included in and protected by UK law.
