In this episode of Transvox, hosts Jenny Harvey and Gillian Russell discuss the recent developments surrounding the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) consultations, which focus on guidance potentially affecting the rights of trans individuals in the UK. They also give tips on how to complete the guidance and how allies can make an impact, even with only 10 minutes to spare.

They examine the implications of a Supreme Court judgment and the EHRC's interim guidance, criticising the lack of consultation with trans organisations. They stress the importance of community responses to the EHRC consultation to counteract anti-trans narratives, encourage political engagement, and highlight the severe impact potential changes could have on trans and non-binary people's lives. Additionally, they discuss recent EHRC-related controversies and the necessity for solidarity during Pride, emphasising that support for trans rights is more critical now than ever.
