The historically pivotal court case, that is critical to the future UK Trans+ rights Christine Goodwin v UK, changed the lives of Trans+ people across Europe, leading to the UK Gender Recognition Act. But it continues to be misunderstood

The first of the @wearequeeraf.com features funded by @transhistoryweek.com was published today.

There’s much about Goodwin that I learned by reading it. I hadn’t figured just quite how significant as case it is.

Thank you @jessothomson.co.uk for writing it

The Green Party’s victory in Gorton and Denton is a landmark moment in British politics - and is significant to the LGBTQIA+ community, and the fight for Trans+ rights.

Zack Polanski, a man in a black blazer and white shirt, stands smiling alongside Laila from Pride in Education. Laila wears a white blouse, a pinstriped vest, and a keffiyeh scarf. She is smiling and pointing toward a Trans+ History Week pin on Zack’s blazer lapel. Both are standing against a plain white wall.

Graphic reading: Christine Goodwin Vs The UK, the historically pivotal case you need to understand to fight for Trans+ rights with a picture of the European Court of Human rights, a room with a EU flag carpet and a semi-circle bench, with blue chairs

20 years ago, a landmark decision at the European Court of Human Rights changed the lives of Trans+ people in the UK and Europe.

It was a pivotal moment in Trans+ history –  but now its significance is being erased.

Tomorrow, 10K readers will understand why πŸ‘‡πŸ§΅

This series looks at the legal cases, political changes and campaigns that have shaped the tights of trans, non-binary and intersex people in the UK.

It’s important that we all become much more historically informed about how we arrived here so we can know how we move forward and claim our rights.
