Our response to the #EHRC letter:

Engender remain supportive of the introduction of a Bill to reform the Gender Recognition Act.
1/13 Nothing that has been proposed to date for the Bill would change the operation of the Equality Act as it relates to data, sports,& single-sex spaces; but in light of the recent letter sent to the Scottish Government by @EHRC, we feel it's important to reiterate our position.
