Background
The Supreme Court ruling on 17 April 2025 removed legal recognition of trans women under the Equality Act, even for those with a GRC. This decision strips trans people of dignity, legal protections, and access to essential spaces. It sets a dangerous precedent and increases risks of discrimination, exclusion, and harm. Trans people deserve equality under the law. Parliament must act to restore and protect the rights of one of society’s most vulnerable groups.
