Email your MP and Minister for Equalities about trans people's need for safe inclusive services

Since the Supreme Court ruling on 16th April 2025 that ‘sex’ in the Equality Act 2010 means ‘biological sex’ there have been a number of alarming developments across Scotland, England and Wales that show us heading towards a future where trans people are much less safe and included across services and society.

We’ve created simple forms that you can use to contact your MP & the Minister for Equality to speak up and speak out against transphobia and the proposed EHRC code of practice.
