We’re taking on the EHRC interim guidance in court
After more than six months of disruption unleashed by the EHRC’s guidance, we’re arguing at the High Court that it is legally flawed.

Most healthcare professionals want to help their patients and to provide high quality, patient-centred care. But in too many cases, something is stopping them.

Use TransActual and Trans Solidarity Alliance's tool to email your MP and speak up for trans rights and say no to Trans Exclusion - everyone should have the right to live with safety, dignity and care!
The EHRhas sent a new draft Code of Practice which would lead to the exclusion of trans people from public life.

The decision now is up to this government, will they sign a trans bathroom ban in secret?

Use our tool to email your MP: tinyurl.com/scrap-the-bathroom-ban

Today, Public Health Scotland released its latest data on waiting times for gender identity services in Scotland. While the data is useful to have, it doesn’t tell the whole story. But it does tell us how appalling waiting times for Sandyford are & that they're just getting worse.

What can you do?

"A blanket ban on access to gender- affirming spaces does not support healing. It retraumatises. It isolates. It tells vulnerable young people that their needs don't matter."

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.
