TransActual's new report shows the real impact of the EHRC's interim guidance.
If the full Code of Practice becomes law, then the impact on trans people's lives will be even more devastating.
Please share these stories, and Trans+ Solidarity Alliance's briefing, with your MP ⤵️

The guidance puts trans and gender non-conforming pupils at risk. Schools must be spaces where all can see themselves reflected and supported.

Our kids were let down under Section 28. I was one of them. It scarred me deeply and I’m far from unique. We must not fail them again.

I do wonder if the 2026 RSHE guidance and the historic parallels to Section 28 might wake up some allyship among our less engaged cis LGB friends to the moment we’re now in.
There’s low awareness of this specific backslide because there’s just so much being thrown at us.
