Response to the Supreme Court ruling affecting trans people
The ruling by the UK Supreme Court, defining ‘sex’ to mean ‘biological sex’ in the Equality Act (2010), has added to an already hostile environment for trans people, and is having a negative impact on trans communities.
Big Life stands with trans people who see their rights and dignity being eroded. Our mission is to fight inequality, and we cannot stand by without raising our voice in support of the trans community.
We believe it is important for the government to now act and reaffirm the integrity of Gender Recognition Certificates, and reaffirm the Gender Recognition Act. It is vital that trans people are supported and protected by the law.
Big Life is a trans-inclusive organisation and employer, and will continue to value difference within our communities, and champion the rights, freedoms and dignity of trans people. We call on the government to do the same, placing trans people at the heart of any decisions that affect them.
