Thank you for reaching out. I'm sorry to say we must have missed your initial email.
Tate prides itself on being an institution for everyone regardless of race, gender(expression), financial background, ability etc. We are proud to support and uplift our transgender visitors, Members, and staff members on a daily basis.
We invite all our visitors to use the facilities they feel most at home with using. We will not be performing any sort of checks or challenges to this choice. Throughout our galleries we also have genderless restroom stalls available, should that feel best to the visitor.
I'm unable to share any internal memo's on how we act in the case you bring up in your last question. But we will support the person being picked on and de-escalate from there.
I hope this puts your mind at ease in continuing your membership with us for another year.

In May 2025, I
(@beesandrikishis.bsky.social)
wrote to all the institutions I was
supporting as a Friend or Member
with these questions:
- Will you be placing any restrictions
on visitors using the toilet or other
gendered facilities of their choice?
- Do you intend to ask any visitors
about their sex assigned at birth?
- What will you do if one visitor
challenges the presence or choices
of another because they believe
them to be transgender ?
Others have also done this since
and shared their responses with me.
