The past couple of weeks have seen a shift in UK Government attitudes against Trans and Non-binary people, despite the TUC and British Medical Association making clear their support and an employment tribunal confirming that Non Binary people are protected by the Equality Act 2010.
Liz Truss, the government minister for Women and Equalities has announced a u-turn on the Gender Recognition Act Reform and the publication of the Gender Recognition Act Review shows the full extent of the anti trans campaign. In the house of Lords the government refused to provide any evidence to support the oft quoted view that self ID would result in men using the act to enter safe spaces for women in order to attack them.
Added to this, the guidelines for schools for delivering sex education are suggesting that supporting trans pupils would be promoting dangerous stereotypes. So today, a little later than usual I am looking at uncomfortable shift in government attitudes towards trans people that is reversing all planned improvements.
