Meet Dr Stephenson and read her very recent interview in The National newspaper – https://www.thenational.scot/news/25730285.will-protect-trans-rights-single-sex-spaces-row-ehrc-chair-says/
Dr Stephenson tells us that she –
- supports her predecessors EHRC interim guidance which includes the removal of sex-based equality and human rights for people with a gender recognition certificate (GRC).
- believes that it is acceptable for people with a GRC to be recognised in their acquired gender in death or when getting married but not in employment or when using public services.
- Agrees that she needs to build a relationship with LGBT organisations.
In the past 10 years government first came for the refugees, then they came for transgender people, who will be next?

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
