Today the new Code of Practice comes into force, systematically excluding trans people from public facilities and services across the UK. It will go down in history as the Starmer government’s shame. But it’s not too late for Andy Burnham to change course.

What a day! Helped get six @labour4transrights.bsky.social–backed candidates elected to LGBT+ Labour's national committee in the morning, then had the privilege of joining the Trans Pride march through central London in the afternoon.

Labour for Trans Rights supporters today out for @andyburnham.bsky.social in Makerfield 🌹 Good luck Andy!

Labour for Trans Rights can in no way support the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s draft Code of Practice. The text differs minimally from the draft version that was leaked last year. (1/3)

On International Transgender Day of Visibility, we reaffirm our commitment to build a society where everyone is free to be who they are. We must reject false divides between women’s rights and trans rights. Solidarity today and every day 🏳️‍⚧️

Today marks International Transgender Day of Visibility. Political leaders must stand against prejudice and discrimination and push against the rising tide of transphobia. Everyone deserves to live with dignity and respect. #TransDayOfVisibility

Today on Trans Day of Visibility, I’m standing with my trans constituents who are anxious about the pausing of the clinical trial into puberty blockers. Everybody deserves access to safe healthcare. We must listen to trans young people and reinstate the trial. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #LGBTQ+

Trans people deserve a world in which they can live openly, joyously, in safety and with dignity. This #TransDayofVisibility, we celebrate trans people everywhere and reaffirm our commitment to building that world together. 🏳️‍⚧️

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

Nadia Whittome MP@nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Delighted to announce that I have joined the Women & Equalities Committee, alongside @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social and Kevin McKenna MP. I’m looking forward to scrutinising the government’s work in this area and championing equality for women and marginalised groups.

Congratulations @lucympowell.bsky.social 👏👏 We’re looking forward to working with you as our Deputy Leader 🌹

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 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/scra...

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.
