Labour for Trans Rights

Parliamentary drop-in with TransActual this evening.

Thank you to everybody who came to our Parliamentary drop-in with @transactualuk.bsky.social this evening.

Trans workers’ lives have been made tougher since the Supreme Court ruling, but the labour movement stands with us 🏳️‍⚧️

Equality commission’s guidance after sex ruling is fundamentally unworkable | Letter Letters: The EHRC has ignored warnings about the contradiction between possibly being sued for challenging someone’s gender versus being sued for failing to, says Rachel Taylor MP

A fantastic summary of the situation by @racheltaylormp.bsky.social 👇

Great to see three trans ally Labour MPs elected to the Women & Equalities Committee, including our Parliamentary Patron @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social 👏🏳️‍⚧️

Congratulations @lucympowell.bsky.social 👏👏

We’re looking forward to working with you as our Deputy Leader 🌹

Scrap the Bathroom Ban 🚨This is urgent🚨 Bridget Phillipson, the Minister for Women and Equalities, has a decision to make. The EHRC, a regulator mired in controversy over anti-trans views, has sent a new draft Code of Prac...

We have to send a strong message to the Government and EHRC: exclusion is not the only answer.

Our friends at @transactualuk.bsky.social have put this together - write to your MP now 👇

Ballots begin to drop today.

Remember, members decide their Deputy. It’s a party role not a government one.

In the great traditions, I would be a distinctive voice, the members voice, full-time.

We're grateful to both campaigns for engaging with us and answering our questions.

In our view, @lucympowell.bsky.social is the deputy leadership candidate that is better placed to advocate for trans rights within Labour.

After hearing from both candidates, Labour for Trans Rights has decided to endorse @lucympowell.bsky.social in the Deputy Leadership Election.

Ballots will begin to drop tomorrow for Labour Party members and other eligible electors.

Good luck Lucy!

Tuesday's rally was incredibly hopeful, with trans people and allies from across the labour movement coming together to say enough is enough.

“Prejudice thrives in ignorance, hope grows in knowledge, solidarity is built in shared struggle.”

Labour must defend and champion inclusive education.

Thank you for having us!

Mick Whelan proud to be called 'woke w****r' over support for trans rights - LabourList Mick Whelan has said he is proud to be called a “woke w****r” over his support for trans rights, at a Labour conference fringe event.

Hundreds of firms warn new draft guidance on single sex spaces is ‘unworkable’ Exclusive: More than 650 organisations have urged Bridget Phillipson to ‘take immediate action to prevent these proposals from moving forward’

Immoral and unworkable.

Bridget Phillipson must reject the guidance as it stands.

Forthcoming statutory guidance could have a profound impact on trans people's lives.

I've written to the Women and Equalities Minister to urge her to reject anything that undermines trans people's rights, inclusion, privacy or safety, and for Parliament to have proper oversight.
