Alexa Devreux-Swift"The Lemkin Institute is disgusted by the use of equality law and the cloak of “women’s rights” to cause harm to the trans and intersex communities. The existence of trans and intersex people in no way threatens women’s rights. Harming the trans and intersex communities is in fact counterproductive to the furtherance of the feminist cause, as it is rooted in the normative imposition of a strict gender and sex binary, with all of the bigoted, ignorant, and narrow-minded assumptions that come with both."
Strong words indeed from the Lemkin Institute, and quite correct they are too. The current government should hang its head in shame, and those whose decisions have demonstrably and objectively resulted in direct harm should be brought before the courts.so
Statement on the Anti-Trans and Anti-Intersex EHRC Code of Practice in the United Kingdom
> June 20, 2026 The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security condemns the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) updated Code of Practice for services, public functions, and associations presented to the UK Parliament on 21 May 2026. This Code of Practice is emblematic of the increasingly hostile environment in the UK for the trans and intersex communities. In its attempt to erase trans and intersex people from public life, this document is genocidal in nature.
