TLP analyses & comments on UK law that affects trans people's lives and rights. We can't advise on individual cases. Deeply opposed to UKSC/FWS ruling of 16/4/25 & to its blatant exploitation to hurt trans people subsequently. www.translegalproject.org

Trans Actual's report entitled 'Trans Segregation in Practice. Experiences of trans segragation following the Supreme Court Ruling'.
TW.
Needs to be widely shared with cisgender people, especially politicians. Utterly horrifying that Britain has come to this- that most of Britain is just looking the other way while a whole community is being eliminated from society because of lies and hatred. transactual.org.uk/wp-content/u...
Kent Police seem to be completely out of control here. These two officers are talking legal rubbish.
Absolutely chilling.
No surprises here. This government is absolutely incapable of listening.
Graphic with a pink to purple gradient background. It says "he Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights said today that he "is concerned about the current climate for trans people [in the UK]. ... He deplores that discussions tend towards the exclusion of trans people from many aspects of society, rather than ensuring that their inclusion and dignity are upheld." At the bottom are the Scottish Trans and Equality Network logo.
The Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, Michael OβFlaherty, conducted a visit to the United Kingdom from 30 June to 4 July 2025, and a report was released today, including his thoughts on the state of trans rights in the UK at the moment.

Well thanks - but itβs not. Trans Legal Clinic we think? Similar name - different outfit.
EHRC initially claimed these 'briefing sessions' weren't part of the Consultation - it's unclear what status they actually had. We took the view that they probably weren't planning to listen; our aim was to hear their attempts to defend their views. They didn't do well.
Having been doing battle with them for some time, we told them we wanted an invite. Basically to hear what possible legal justification they might have for their incoherent guidance plus the chance to say what we thought about it to them, which we did. More here: www.translegalproject.org/blog-1
Many legal protections for trans people do not depend on having a GRC; these protections include access to single sex spaces. See Croft v Royal Mail [2003] - the Supreme Court explicitly reaffirmed a key principle in it.
Thank you. I hope they meet with you. Please do keep in mind another strand of the whole mess. FWS did NOT invalidate important case law that protects trans people's rights, including of access. In fact the ruling explicitly referred to it still standing. The EHRC is completely ignoring this.
Right, the EHRC 'consultation' (in English) just closed. Well done to everyone who sent something.
It's all going to be down to Starmer soon, as this piece discusses. It would be good to be in the hands of someone who reacted even remotely like a Labour Prime Minister?
An important piece from The Lemkin Institute.
βTransphobia is not f**cking feministβ
Kate Nash's powerful speech during her performance at Glastonbury.
Have DM'd you
Although I didnβt get to speak to my MP or a member of the HOL I was glad to be part of this momentous occasion. I spoke to lots of passionate, caring, interesting people.
Big shout out to all parents there, with, or on behalf of, their trans children.
We need a fair future for all trans people.
Fully support this letter. Share it please.
Finally built up the strength to tackle the EHRC consultation this weekend? Youβll find material on how wrong it is in law here. Why not add some of this to your own personal take?
The mass lobby of Parliament showed what this community & allies are capable of. Letβs kill these EHRC proposals.
Real dark stuff going on in Hungary as the gov bans Pride and then organises a far right hate march on the same place and day as Pride was scheduled
I know a lot of people are going in defiance. Please stay safe
LGBT rights is one of THE frontlines against fascism today

This is absolutely worth sharing - a clear expose of Sex Matters, their views, aims and influence.
Thanks to everyone who came to the mass lobby organised by @transsolidarity.bsky.social, calling on MPs to oppose the EHRCβs harmful draft guidance.
If you missed it, donβt worry, you can still speak with your MP about trans rights - just send them an email requesting a meeting.
@alicemydaughter.bsky.social doing Alice - and us all - proud.
MPs publicly call out and criticise JK Rowling in Parliament.
I think this might be a first?
That is now in the Hansard record for all time.

Someone really really needs to get into the Courts on this. Our view is that the UK Parliament hasn't a prayer on defending its actions. Even in the face of the most transphobic judiciary in 50 years. Helpful if an individual might be able to take it forward?
HUGE turn out of trans folks and allies for the lobby of Parliament led by @transsolidarity.bsky.social
Incredible to see π³οΈββ§οΈ
Exactly. The whole situation is absolutely unhinged.
2/2 What Parliamentary authorities have done, after pressure from GC groups beggars belief. Insanity. Perhaps they didnβt read the bit in FWS that said blanket bans had to βproportionalβ. Which they rarely are & how could this possibly be!? We think a judge would send them packing.
1/2 As people gather at Parliament today to meet MPs & oppose the EHRCβs extremist interpretation of a terrible, prejudiced, judgment - consider this. If a trans woman VISITS Parliament she will be instructed that she cannot use the womenβs toilet. If she WORKS there she will be told that she can.
Yes fair point - a typo, and I'm sure we put cis women into the actual submission. But will amend it.
