Scottish Trans

Use our tool to email your MP and ask them to support motion EDM 240 and reject the EHRC’s harmful Code of Practice: https://equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/rejectthecode

This statutory guidance would usher in a dark age for LGBTQ+ rights in the UK, and encourage gender policing and lawfare. This, the government admits, will put trans and gender non-conforming people at risk. You can find out more about the Code here: https://www.scottishtrans.org/supreme-court-ruling-on-s*x-in-the-equality-act/our-thoughts-on-the-ehrcs-updated-code-of-practice-may-2026/

This is a historic moment, and what our political representatives do here matters.

Nadia Whittome MP has tabled a motion (EDM 240) to disapprove the Code of Practice, which has already recieved cross-party support. Please ask your MP to support the motion if they haven't already.

We must keep pressure up on the issue, in a way that can help. Every person who emails is vital, and every MP who formally objects makes a difference.

Along with TransActual and Trans+ Solidarity Alliance, we've created a template to help you tell your MP how you feel about this horrific guidance, and ask them to reject it.

Sending an email only takes a few minutes. Once you've done it, please ask 3 friends to do the same.

Join Scottish Trans tomorrow for our next meeting in Tayside to discuss how we can campaign to improve access to trans healthcare locally!

Trans healthcare in Scotland, especially in areas that refer to Sandyford, is in a dire state. In fact, recent figures show that Sandyford has the longest waiting time in the UK. We think the main cause of the length of Sandyford's waiting list is the sheer volume of referrals they get - they currently cover roughly half of Scotland's population. Eight health boards across Scotland refer to Sandyford, and we believe the only way to fix the waiting times would be for more of these health boards to begin to deliver gender identity healthcare themselves. So, we want to start campaigning in these health boards!

This second meeting will build on the discussions from the first, including who we might want to approach to talk about trans healthcare in Tayside, potentially meeting with the health board and how we can keep the campaign going! If you want to take action to improve trans healthcare and have some time and energy to spare, please come along!

Join us at Cake or Dice (89 Commercial St, Dundee DD1 2AF), 6-8pm on Wednesday 27th May.
