What a few weeks in the world of Breaking Binaries and beyond!

Our reflections: amazing people; amazing presentations; a collective will to challenge inequities and remain accountable; and, a combined passion of wanting organisations to be better for everyone.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.

The Supreme Court ignored trans voices. I’m ashamed of what our law has become | Good Law Project The Supreme Court’s decision to exclude trans voices has harmed trans people – and harmed the fairness of their ruling.

We know today may feel especially heavy for our trans and non-binary siblings.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or affected by the UK Supreme Court’s decision, please know you’re not alone. We’re here for you every day from 10am to 10pm.

A pink background with a speech bubble that reads: The Politics of Categories

Categories used by the state to sort people into boxes are never neutral.

Some thoughts on the UK Supreme Court case ruling and the wider anti-trans campaign to narrow sex and gender categories in policy, data and law.

In light of the cis supremacy ruling in the supreme court I send love and solidarity to all trans people. I feel so useless, but know my rage. I’m so sorry at the cruelty shown towards you in the UK, within your families, on the streets, at work, in healthcare, by our government and the judiciary.

Stonewall shares the deep concern at the widespread implications for today’s ruling from the Supreme Court. It will be incredibly worrying for the trans community and all of us who support them. 
  
It’s important to be reminded the Court strongly and clearly re-affirmed the Equality Act protects all trans people against discrimination, based on Gender Reassignment, and will continue to do so.  
  
Once we read and fully digest the judgement, we will work with stakeholders across all sectors to provide as much clarity as possible.  
 
Stonewall will continue its work with the Government and parliamentarians to achieve equal rights under the law for LGBTQ+ people.

Simon Blake OBE, Stonewall CEO
