Councillor Ciara Alleyne

Councillor Ciara Alleyne argued that the EHRC's draft code is "vague and unworkable" and could "turn back any progress already made for trans, intersex and gender non-conforming individuals." The councillor stated that the guidelines present "the danger of discrimination and prejudice in the spaces where we should all be prioritising care, support and service provision." Councillor Alleyne warned that "Trans women will be forced into using men's services and vice versa, exposing them to unimaginable harm in many cases when they are at their most vulnerable." The councillor stressed the importance of inclusive services where transgender people can use facilities aligned with their gender identity, asserting, "Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Trans rights are human rights. Let us work together to build a land that is fair, equitable and just."
