The Supreme Courtโs decision is hugely disappointing. As elected national and regional officers across Young Labour and Labour Students, we share the deep concerns of our LGBTQ+ members, particularly our trans members, about the potential implications of this ruling.
We will continue to fight against all attempts to strip trans people of their rights, and will use all levers within the Labour Party to make trans voices heard.
Labour must protect the Equality Act - one of Labourโs proudest pieces of legislation - and its legal protections for trans people.
The Labour Party must stand firmly behind the LGBT+ community.
In line with Young Labourโs policy, unanimously approved by the Young Labour National Committee, we stand in absolute solidarity with the trans community across the UK to live their lives with dignity and be free from all discrimination.
Signed,
Chloe Brooks, LGBT+ Officer, Young Labour
Willow Parker, Trans Officer, Labour Students
Rudi Ellis-Jones, LGBT+ Officer, Labour Students
And 44 other elected national and regional representatives in Young Labour and Labour Students.
A joint statement from myself and other elected Labour Students and Young Labour representatives.
Today and always, we stand united in solidarity with the trans community. ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ

I think Oxford deserves a leader who's actually got some idea what's going on in it ๐ค๐ค
Oxford needs to be in charge of its own destiny, not run from rural Oxfordshire
Creating a Greater Oxford is the only local government reorganisation that makes any sense
