Durham Trans Association

The Trans Association echoes this statement from the Durham UCU. Trans students and staff of Durham University deserve much, much better than this.

The EHRC’s interim statement doesn’t need to be obeyed - an extremely important thing to remember

Abi with ALEX Sobel MP. (If you saw the earlier skeet where I called him Chris - look man, it’s been a long hot day and I’m tired)

Met ALEX Sobel MP today as part of @transsolidarity.bsky.social’s mass lobby! Told him trans people won’t comply with segregation in public spaces or healthcare; we’ll ignore laws and homebrew HRT! He was sympathetic and agreed EHRC + SCOTUK have made a big mess that’ll be hard to fix

At #UCU2025 we passed motions to reaffirm our commitment to trans rights.

We’ll keep fighting for inclusive spaces, supportive policies and real solidarity.

poster in trans colours (baby blue, baby pink, and white) with an overlay in, admittedly painfully clashing, UCU colours: bright pink and dark purple, with a text that reads: "UCU supports trans rights"

Our union has had many difficult conversations, often painful disagreements. But this one? This's one's simply: you don't debate the existence or value of people. Obviously we support trans rights and stand with trans people.
