International human rights actors have sounded the alarm about April’s Supreme Court ruling and the direction of travel for trans people’s rights in the UK. Does Scot Gov want to be remembered for playing its part in protecting our rights? Ask them: equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/howwillthisb...

Scot Gov has defined sex in Scottish Hate Crime law as ‘biological sex’ as per the Supreme Court ruling. A choice they have made. We urge you to challenge that choice. Ask how they want to be remembered in the fight for trans equality & human rights: equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/howwillthisb...

It's been a year since we launched our Ending Conversion Practices campaign, last Valentines Day. Billboards across Scotland showed our campaign highlighting the harm & heartbreak that conversion practices cause.

ICYMI: Last week we joined with trans, LGBT+ and feminist orgs across the UK to send a message to MPs: that it's vital that services can continue to welcome and include trans people. transsolidarityalliance.com/protectinclusion

Scottish Government has expressed that they want to ensure trans people’s human rights are protected and to better the lives of trans people in Scotland, but actions speak louder than words. Ask what they are doing then with the SSI definition of sex: equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/howwillthisb...

What will we think when we look back? This Scottish Govt has only a few months left. Do they want to be remembered for trying to improve trans lives by reforming the GRA, or as being the first Govt in the UK to write “biological sex at birth” into law? equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/howwillthisb...

How will this be remembered? This History Month, we’re asking you to get in touch with the Scottish Government to ask them how their actions now will be remembered in the years to come: equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/howwillthisb...
