We want to hear from all workers who can speak to changes your employer has made to their policies or practices related to trans inclusion following the Supreme Court judgment.
While the High Court dismissed trans workers’ concerns about privacy and outing as mere ‘gossip at work’, we know there will be real ramifications of forcing trans people to suddenly start using different facilities than those they have always used.
- at great cost to employers and at even greater cost to trans workers, some of whom have already been forced to leave their jobs.
The law around trans inclusion at work is a mess. Workplace regulations from the 90s are being interpreted to mean that the total exclusion of trans people from gendered facilities like bathrooms and changing rooms is the only way

Female athletes must pay £185 to prove their sex Matt Lawton - Chief Sports Correspondent British female track and field athletes are being asked to pay £185 for a sex test if they want to compete internationally. World Athletics requires all athletes to take an SRY gene test before competing in the female category at major championships and Diamond League events to guarantee fair competition by excluding trans and DSD (differences of sex development) competitors. Before the World Championships in Tokyo last September, World Athletics gave $100 per test for the thousand or so female athletes needing one. More money will be provided by the international federation for this year’s World Junior Championships. But British women have been advised by UK Athletics (UKA) to pay for the test themselves, urging them to have the cheek swab, which indicates the presence of a Y chromosome, “as soon as possible to avoid delays around selection”. However, some women have complained it is unfair when the test is not required for men. UKA has a hardship fund to pay for the test and will assess requests on a case-by-case basis. But the situation is symptomatic of a national federation already facing financial challenges, made worse by UK Sport cutting its funding for this Olympic cycle. While almost £32 million was given to the relatively niche sports that won five medals at last month’s Winter Olympics, athletics has had its funding cut from £22.18 million to £20.45 million despite winning ten medals in 2024. It was only last year UKA returned to some form of financial stability, posting a profit of £107,588. But it is now facing a big fine after admitting corporate manslaughter over the death of Abdullah Hayayei, who died in 2017 after a metal cage fell on him while he was training for the World Para Athletics Championships in London.

"This new guidance by the Scottish government highlights how much the gender critical use hyperbole, fear and a distortion of facts to terrify other parents into preventing their child from receiving the healthcare they need."

A blue image with a purple clock on a pink background on the right. On the left hand side there is text that reads "What will we think when we look back? This Scottish Government has only a few weeks left. Do they want to be remembered for trying to make trans people's lives better by reforming the GRA, or, as being the first Government in the UK to write "biological sex at birth" into law?" The Equality Network and Scottish Trans logos are at the bottom. As is the link www.equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/howwillthisberemembered
With only a few weeks left, take a few minutes today to ask the Scottish Government how their choice to copy the definition of 'sex' from April's Supreme Court ruling into hate crime law in Scotland when they didn't need to will be remembered?equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/howwillthisberemembered

Image shows a copy of the Trans Lives report 2025. Text reads: Trans people in the UK are being failed. Transphobia from politicians and in the media not only impacts trans people’s mental health, it also impacts the way others treat us – whether that’s our family members or strangers in the street. GPs and staff in the GP practice aren’t giving us the standard of care we need from them – training needs to be put in place urgently.
Image shows a copy of the Trans Lives report 2025. Text reads: Trans people in the UK are being failed. Lack of access to gender congruent ID makes us unsafe and gets in the way of going about our daily lives. Multiply marginalised trans people have worse experiences due to the intersections of transphobia with racism, ableism etc.
