Text reads: Speaking to over 50 teachers to draw its conclusions, Pride In Education told QueerAF how schools have already begun implementing guidance despite it not being finalised. Some teachers are reporting that they've been unable to talk about LGBT+ History Month for the first time in years. It also draws on support from teachers' union NASWUT, who backed the organisation's calls to withdraw relationships and sex education guidance – dubbed a 'Section 28 2.0' because of the culture of silence about Trans+ lives it threatens to create.

A supportive school environment makes all the difference, which is why we won't go down without a fight.

The general secretary of NASUWT (major trade union for teachers) wants the revisions to the RSHE guidance to be withdrawn and has signed the @prideineducation.bsky.social open letter.

We remain committed to engaging with MPs and policymakers, holding government accountable through advocacy and evidence-based action. We stand with LGBTIQA+ organisations challenging the government and supporting our communities.

We have chosen not to attend the Speaker's LGBT+ History Month Reception today. When trans and non-binary rights are being rolled back, conversion practices remain legal, and intersex and asexual people lack full protection, we don't believe celebration without accountability is appropriate.

It exists to popularise the newly created global awareness week: Trans+ History Week, 4–10 May 2026, and Trans+ History Day, 6 May. It is a week-long reflective period to learn and celebrate the momentous and millennia-old history of transgender, non-binary, gender-diverse and Intersex people. Our rights and our stories are under threat from the anti-rights movement. With book bans, media exclusion and misrepresentation and with censorship in academia and the arts making headlines, we’re seeing ever-intensifying attacks on our rights across the world. We have become a year-round movement to save our stories. Challenging erasure and prejudice by restoring Trans+ people’s place in our collective human story. We’re reclaiming our common humanity and in doing so creating more fertile ground for securing our rights and preventing rights rollbacks. The organisation commissions content and hosts events and exhibitions that reflect on history and surface learnings for our present to secure a better future. Since formation, the organisation has raised over £100,000 and along with QueerAF invested in over 75 Trans+ creatives: writers, illustrators, audio producers, musicians, photographers, speakers, journalists, poets and comedians to surface Trans+ stories. Accessibility info This will be a hybrid event enabling all to attend either online or in-person. The venue is wheelchair accessible.

The Urgent Need to Revise the RSHE 2026 Guidance and Centre Trans, Non-Binary, Intersex, Asexual and Gender Non-Conforming Voices

Nearly 5,000 people have signed our open letter against the transphobic changes to RSHE guidance, and we're incredibly grateful for all the support.

If you haven't signed or shared the letter, now is the time to do so - help us reach the next milestone.

TransActual's new report shows the real impact of the EHRC's interim guidance.

If the full Code of Practice becomes law, then the impact on trans people's lives will be even more devastating.
