If you want to join us in holding our University and Union accountable, Please email the University (studentservices@hull.ac.uk), Vice Chancellor (D.N.petley@hull.ac.uk) and Tag the University (@uniofhull.bsky.social) and the Students Union on socials.

We also call on other societies and student groups, the wider LGBTQ+ community and Allies to support our trans community and speak up.

Also to clarify how the University plans to protect and support Trans individuals and consult with Students, Staff and community groups on how best to respond to and implement policy decisions. Even in the face of the outwardly hostile and exclusionary interim policy pushed by the EHRC.

We call upon both the University and the Students Union to publicly Reaffirm their commitment to protecting the Trans community as a whole, both staff and students...

We feel like the Universities statement is a quiet acknowledgement of a larger issue and urge them to be vocal about their commitment to Inclusivity and what they will do to support our trans community. Not just through signposting to support, but through inclusive policy decisions and guidance.

We thank @uniofhull.bsky.social for their commitment to uphold Diversity, Inclusion and Respect, but we feel like their statement does little to address the issues at hand. This lukewarm response does nothing to challenge the slow creep of transphobia embedding itself into legislation.
