Today London Trans Pride was full of celebration, defiance, joy, tears, pride and protest. 150K trans+ people, allies, parents, partners, & children saying “ENOUGH” at the cruelty & blatant discrimination being targeted at trans+ people in the UK - much of it from our current government!

Standard

150,000 march through London in world's largest trans pride, organisers say
"The co-founder of advocacy group
Transparent Action said: "Andy (Burnham), if you're listening, I'm the mother of a trans child who took her life by suicide and more children are going to die on your watch if you don't do something to reverse the anti-trans policies that your predecessor has overseen.
"
- Caroline Litman

It started with one woman signing our letter Then another And another And before we knew it there were 95,000 of us Now we want the power of cis women to catapult us to 100,000 and beyond Because this is how it grows If every woman shares it with just three others, that’s another 285,000 signatures

Merry Christmas 🤍 ❄️ 🎅 As parents of trans, non-binary and gender-diverse children and adults, we know how much it matters for trans people to feel safe, seen and valued, especially at this time of year. Sending warmth to all trans+ people who deserve dignity, joy and love. Transparent Action 🤍

Trans+ people deserve to live, learn and work without being singled out or treated unfairly. As parents of trans+ people, we've seen how discrimination creates barriers in school, healthcare, housing and in everyday public life. It pushes people out of opportunities that others take for granted.

FREEDOM FROM DISCRIMINATION

Everyone should be treated fairly in every area of life.

Our 2nd Transparent Pledge point is legal recognition. Everyone should be able to live confidently as themselves with documents that reflect who they are. For our children, and all trans+ people, this is about safety, privacy and the freedom to move through life without unnecessary barriers...

Legal Recognition
Everyone should be able to live safely and confidently as themselves.

Today we are sharing the first of the 7 principles of our Transparent Pledge: Respect and dignity. Every person deserves to be recognised for who they are and to be treated with kindness. As parents, we see how transformative it is when our children are called by their correct names and pronouns.

🤍 We stand with every family affected by the Girlguiding policy change What happened to this young girl is not an abstract policy debate. It's a child who was excited to be part of Rainbows with her friends, tried her sessions, loved them, was ready to join. Now she's been told she doesn't belong.

Parents of trans people speak out...

“My daughter has just done some trial sessions with the Rainbows as she has some friends that attend and she loved it. 

We are in the middle of arranging a legal name change and we were waiting for that to be sorted before we registered her. But today we were told that she can’t sign up now...
