Today, an Employment Tribunal Appeal ruled that ‘gender critical’ beliefs are protected under the Equality Act as ‘philosophical beliefs’. But the judgement is very clear that no philosophical belief gives someone the right to abuse, harm or discriminate against others.

While this news may be hard to hear, we must remember that this case has no bearing on the protections that trans people have in the workplace. In fact, these protections have been clearly re-affirmed in the ruling itself.

All trans people deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and humanity at work. But over the past five years, there has been a sharp rise in the number of trans people hiding their identity at work, and one in eight trans people have been physically attacked in the workplace.

All trans people must be safe at work, in public and at home. Together, we will keep fighting until every LGBTQ+ person is free to be themselves, wherever they are.
