LGBT in FM respond to Supreme Court gender ruling

The Supreme Court ruling is a devastating blow to us and to the trans community.

The decision to define "woman" based solely on biological sex sends a deeply harmful message - one that invalidates the lived experiences, identities, and rights of trans and non-binary people across the UK.

For those of us who believe in dignity, equality, and humanity for all, this is not a moment to stay quiet.

LGBT+ in FM stands firmly and proudly with the trans community. Today and every day.

You belong. Your identity is valid. You deserve safety, respect, and the freedom to live as your true self. Now more than ever, we need to amplify trans voices, advocate for inclusive policies, and hold space for anger, grief, and resistance.

Ways to support

• Donate to trans-led organisations

• Educate yourself and others

• Speak up - even when it’s uncomfortable

• Make your workplace a truly inclusive space

We can’t change the ruling. But we can change the culture, the conversation, and the future.

If you need help or support, you can reach out to the Samaritans on 116 123, and we have a range of accessible resources on our support page.
