Workplaces Are Now a Minefield For Trans People | The Intersection with Hannah Janes

Описание: 🏳️‍⚧️ The Intersection is back on Politics Social — presented by Hannah Janes with guest Rachel Harris — to unpack a chaotic and exhausting week of UK trans news.

⚖️ We break down the court decision that forced a rethink of the Equality and Human Rights Commission guidance (and why it wasn’t the blanket “ban from everything” some headlines implied), while also digging into the sting in the tail: workplace rules, “biological sex” language, and the absurd situation where someone could be treated differently at work than they are as a member of the public.

🚻 Rachel explains the real-world impact: forced outing risks, employer panic, recruitment discrimination, and the practical mess for workplaces trying to implement “alternatives” that don’t exist in many buildings.

📜 We also talk about what this means for the Gender Recognition Certificate, why so many people see an erosion of hard-won legal certainty, and how the UK’s media ecosystem keeps amplifying tiny wins for anti-trans campaigners while ignoring the bigger picture.

🔥 Finally: what allies can do, why women’s solidarity matters, and why “intersectional feminism” isn’t a buzzword — it’s the whole point.

If you’d like to support the legal challenge to the recent High Court judgment affecting trans rights, the Good Law Project is raising funds to pursue an appeal. Their crowdfunder explains what’s being challenged, why it matters, and how the case could shape workplace guidance going forward. Donate here: https://goodlawproject.org/crowdfunde...

For a clear breakdown of what the court actually ruled on Friday — including the distinction between public services and workplace implications — PinkNews has a detailed explainer that cuts through some of the headline noise: https://www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/1...

There’s also a major solidarity concert taking place in March, bringing together artists and allies to raise awareness and funds for trans communities. You can find event details, tickets, and ways to support here: https://www.transmissionlive.uk/

If you’re a cis-gender woman who wants to stand publicly in support of trans rights, Not In Our Name (NION Women) is organising and sharing updates, statements, and actions you can get involved in: https://notinourname.org.uk/latest

Please share, support, and stay informed.

It's a lot. I know it's a lot. If you're struggling, not doing well, or you just need a sympathetic ear, call the Samaritans on 116 123
