A group of trans runners trying to increase representation and fight transphobia through participating in public running events.

Liz Truss wanted to abolish the Equality Act because she mistakenly thinks “it says whether you’re a woman or whether you’re Black or whether you’re gay is more important than what your talents are.” Is it any surprise then that she turned the EHRC into a vehicle for anti-trans politics?

TODAY’S THE DAY!

Four of our runners are going to be in the Brighton Marathon today!

Please wish them luck! 🏳️‍⚧️
April is going to be a BIG month for Tranathon as we have members participating in both the Brighton Marathon (April 7) and the London Marathon (April 21).

We are excited and proud to represent the trans community in these events.

To celebrate Trans Day of Visibility, we’ll be returning to our social media and making some BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS.

We look forward to sharing the good news, starting with our snazzy new profile pic.

Here we see one of the more prominent anti-trans campaigners in the US stating the reality of the trans people in sports “debate” openly.

It’s not about “advantage”, it’s about their belief that societal systems MUST treat trans people as their sex assigned at birth in all cases.

Right here is a clear example of what we're trying to fight against. Anti-trans groups have recently made a push to target local parkruns (the free-to-enter, non-competitive, mixed-gender events) for basic trans inclusion.
