Harri's day of being all involved in and excited by the Equailty Bill.

On Tuesday I attended a meeting at the EHRC (Equality and Human Rights Commission) about the Trans parts of the proposed Equality Bill and what lobbying and amendment-submitting the Trans community wanted to do. Thanks to Ruth Pearce (NUS Women's Campaign Trans Students' Rep.) for alerting me to the meeting. After that, I went along to Portcullis House with a number of the other representatives of Trans organisations to watch Steven Whittle (president of Press for Change) present to the Parliamentary Scrutiny Committee which is working on the Equality Bill. Ben Summerskill, head of Stonewall, was also at the Committee.

Stay tuned for a full report once I've gathered together all the transcripts and written proposals and such.
