We’re overjoyed to hear that the Tavistock has won its appeal in the Bell v Tavistock case. Today’s outcome will be a huge relief for trans young people and their families, as well as the wider trans community!! 🎉♥️

This deeply unsettling case - which debated whether puberty blockers could be prescribed to under-18s with gender dysphoria - has caused many trans young people and their families enormous distress, and left young people in limbo without vital healthcare support.

This judgement must be a turning point for NHS and the Government in addressing trans people’s healthcare. It's for doctors - not courts - to decide if a young person can make an informed choice about their medical care.

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.

It’s deeply disturbing to see coordinated attacks on LGBTQ+ equality organisations and anyone trying to make their community more inclusive.

It’s important we shine a light on it.

@TIEcampaign

Just this weekend our friends at @TIEcampaign have shared some of the abusive, coordinated hate they experience for campaigning for an LGBTQ+ inclusive education for children and young people in Scotland.

And just this weekend there have been *five* national newspaper stories making threadbare attacks on our Diversity Champions programme, which helps 850+ employers create an inclusive environment for their LGBTQ+ colleagues.

This is a very concerning and unclear judgement about trans young people's access to healthcare. There is a lot that is not clear. Our team is reading it and analysing it so we can fully understand and convey to you, just what it means for trans young people.

We will share in full what we understand from the judgement once we have been able to get more clarity on a number of points presented in the judgement.

For young trans people who are following this case, today's ruling will be difficult news. We want you to know that we will always continue to fight for you. We see you, your identity is valid, and it cannot be taken away from you.

Today we mark #WorldAIDSDay. A day to show support for people living with HIV, to commemorate those who've died from an AIDS-related illness, and to commit ourselves to ending stigma, ignorance, and the spread of the virus.

We know that unfortunately gay and bi men, trans people, alongside (and including) those from Black African communities, and sex workers, are disproportionately impacted. #WorldAIDSDay

Through the contributions of countless advocates driving change in society, media, science, legislature and government, we’ve made some huge progress in tackling HIV – most recently through the ongoing introduction of PrEP. #WorldAIDSDay
