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.

Add you name to the long list of educators, parents and public figures that have already done so.

Our kids were let down under Section 28. I was one of them. It scarred me deeply and I’m far from unique. We must not fail them again.

I’ve signed this very important open letter imploring the government to reverse course on their extremely harmful new guidance on RSHE. As a gay man who suffered enormously during my school years owing to Section 28 I am very worried for the LGBTQ+ youth who will be impacted by this flawed policy

EVERYONE should be included in RSHE - having grown up under Section 28 I have seen first hand the harm of similar exclusion.

#TransRightsAreHumanRights #LGBwiththeT

Please sign this. Having grown up in Thatcher’s Britain and experienced #Section28 , I know how badly LGBTQ+ discrimination affects you. I don’t want current or future queer youth to go through it too.

It’s great to see our campaign in the latest @wearequeeraf.com newsletter 💪🏳️‍⚧️

“I’m deeply concerned that the current draft guidance effectively relegates trans, non-binary, and intersex voices to matters of debate rather than lived reality.”

Lord Michael Cashman is amongst the names on our open letter, urging the government to revise their harmful new RSHE guidance.

Thanks to @scenemag.co.uk for sharing our open letter calling on the government to revise RSHE guidance. 🏳️‍⚧️

The response has already been incredible (that 200 is now looking more like 2000!) but we can't stop yet. Add your name here: openletter.earth/the-urgent-n...

Trans ally Labour peer Michael Cashman 'deeply concerned' over new sex ed guidance Labour House of Lords peer, Michael Cashman, shared his concerns over changes that affect the discussion of trans identities in UK schools.

Lord Michael Cashman has spoken out against the RSHE guidance after signing the @prideineducation.bsky.social open letter.

Keep the pressure on your MP and education sec.

As a gay man who was educated in the section 28 era and experienced the dehumanising campaign against its repeal as an impressionable late-teen, I'm promising you that this is worse for trans youth than S28/2A was for us.

This will cost lives.

Spectre of Section 28 looms over new government UK Schools Sex Education guidance. The Tories marred the lives of young LGBTQ+ people. Now, Labour is issuing damaging, exclusionary guidance that will affect trans, non binary and gender questioning pupils. Sign this open letter to demand change!

I spoke with @pinknews.bsky.social about the @prideineducation.bsky.social open letter. Read the full piece here

In the words of @smartypantsmarty.com "It frames our lives as optional to acknowledge. It’s dangerous, it invites bullying, and it has no place in our schools.

"We can’t let another generation go through what mine did under Section 28."

Trans allies including Kate Nash sign letter slamming new sex education guidance Alan Cumming, Kate Nash, Stephen Fry, and more have signed a petition condemning the government's RSHE guidance about trans identities.

Loads of celebrities sign an open letter against the Starmer government’s new trans Section 28+.
