A short statement following the events in Berlin yesterday.

There are a number of protests happening today regarding the EHRC Code of Practice. Thanks to @whatthetrans.com for compiling a list of all of them.

What The Trans?! 🏳️‍⚧️@whatthetrans.com · 4w ago

Eight protests from the BAD Coalition (Bodily Autonomy and Dignity Coalition) have cropped up for Thursday 9th July at 18:00. Do try to attend if you can, although many of these protests are in London. There are a few scattered across England though. Details here: whatthetrans.com/compilation-...

When trans people are under attack, "don't be political" is not an option. And we'll never be silent when a Labour Government are making life impossibly hard for trans people. We see you. And we stand with you. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🏳️‍⚧️ SAY NO TO EXCLUSION. SAY NO TO SEGREGATION 🏳️‍⚧️ Join us on Sunday 28 June at 1pm in Retford Market Square to oppose the implementation of the EHRC Draft Code of Practice and stand in solidarity with the trans community. Trans rights are human rights. See you there.

Oh so we're just blatantly allowing the NHS to do conversion practices if they just dangle the carrot of "health care services" in front of someone. Surely more analysis to come, but this draft bill is a joke. No bill would be better than this bill. Perhaps that's what Bridget Phillipson wants.

Trans Apartheid. Continuation of puberty blocker ban for under 18s. Active removal of trans healthcare for trans youth. KSCIE and EHRC guidance. This, too, is Starmer's legacy. We really hope to see you bring this up more, @zackpolanski.bsky.social!

Bills up. Wages too low. Record profits for Oil & Gas. 50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population. Shit in our rivers. Pensioners jailed for protesting. Migrants thrown under the bus. Supporting a Genocide. That's Starmer's legacy.

Important mass lobby update: With a red weather warning in place for the day, it will not go ahead. We are reaching out to participants with further detail and actions, but please do not travel. We are arranging a future date and will update ❤️ www.transsolidarityalliance.com/post/weather...

As a matter of URGENCY, PLEASE could 100,000 of you sign this petition in the next week: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/77...

Petition: Disapprove the draft Equality Act 2010 guidance laid on 21 May 2026

I want the House of Commons to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for services, public functions and associations, 2026 laid on 21 May 2026.

We would like to remind Adrian of his response to our pledges. While we never expect perfection from our elected representatives, we do expect that they defend the rights of LGBTIQA+ people, especially when called out. Adrian should reconsider his position, or find he completely lacks our support.

We quite rightly welcome the signing of the EDM by Siân, Hannah and Ellie. Fighting for trans rights is what Greens should be doing. It's a long-standing party policy that trans women are women, trans men are men and non-binary people are non-binary.

Here we are: forced detransition of trans youth. They know the harms that this will cause to trans teens and their families, and they just don't care. This country and this government is flagrantly indifferent to the mental and physical wellbeing of transgender youth.

Cal Horton (they/them)@fiercemum.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS. These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st). Forced medical detransition. This country is a danger to trans children & young people.

We are delighted to say that our letter to the leaders and our elected representatives got a response, and that it was so timely! It's quite an in-depth response, and I don't think we can cover literally everything, but we're happy with the response we got.

An update on this: @elliechowns.bsky.social has now signed the Early Day Motion. Thank you Ellie!

Please ask your MP to sign this Early Day Motion: edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo... Here's a useful tool: equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/rejectthecode (Looking at you, @elliechowns.bsky.social and @adrianramsay.bsky.social 👀)

Draft Code of Practice on Services, public functions and associations - Early Day Motions - UK Parliament

That the draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations, a copy of which was laid before this House on 21 May, be disapproved.

edm.parliament.uk

We are writing to our leadership and elected representatives to express our utmost disappointment following the lack of Green voices during the Parliamentary debate on the Code of Practice, and we will be asking for urgent clarification on why this was the case.

Happy Pride Month from the Green Party! 🏳️‍🌈

“Has the bisexual ‘trend’ started to reverse?” - no, any decline just reflects how much harder it is to come out as bisexual

Biphobia is sending our community back into the closet — here’s what we can do

‘Has the bisexual “trend” started to reverse?’ – no, any decrease just reflects how much harder it is becoming to be out as bisexual

EHRC acknowledges there is no UK document that can prove someone's "biological sex", so in practice people have to ask and hope. Now, the government is requiring employers to base gender pay gap reporting on this shaky data. This is not a win for femimism.

Our friends and allies at the @feministgreens.bsky.social have released a statement about the EHRC Code of Practice. Please do give it a read!

Feminist Greens (GPEW)@feministgreens.bsky.social · 2mo ago

"The Labour government has made a choice, one rooted in the patriarchy, to further police women’s bodies and exclude people who do not conform to arbitrary standards of femininity. We reject their Code of Practice and the colonial, misogynistic, sexist, and transphobic assumptions they employ" 1.

A little reminder for Andy Burnham. There's no middle ground between people wanting to exist and people who don't want those people to exist. Ironicly, those positions are a binary. You can't exclude trans people from public life in a fair way. You can't do a genocide on us compassionately.

With the updated EHRC code of practice, the Government is still leaving trans people with a real fear of being excluded from essential services and public spaces. My statement in full: greenparty.org.uk/2026/05/22/s...

A big thank you to Hannah Spencer MP for signing our letter and standing in clear support of the trans+ community. Like Hannah, many women from across the political spectrum have joined the 101,000+ UK women who have already signed our letter - Women in support of the trans+ community.
