The draft is cruel; there is no evidence it will better protect women, cis or trans; it breaches Labour's manifesto commitment to trans people; it is unenforceable; encourages vigilanteism; and it is clearly inconsistent with the UK's obligations under the ECHR. We will challenge it in court. 2/2

The appalling shitshow that is the British media ignores the reality for trans people - that they are overwhelmingly the victims of violence, violence that almost invariably goes unpunished - in favour of peddling the false narratives of the Far Right.
