The Sunday Times and the Art of the One-Sided Narrative. By the TransLucent Team At TransLucent, our mission involves campaigning for visibility, acceptance, and legal recognition for the trans community while actively countering the misinformation and disinformation peddled by trans-hostile actors. Following Hadley Freeman’s recent Sunday Times article, “We won the Supreme Court sex ruling. The PM is subverting it,” we believe it is necessary to go beyond merely correcting the facts. We must address the systemic bias in how the media constructs a narrative that purports to speak for all women while silencing the voices of those most affected. Constructing the “Expert”…

Since May 2025, your movement has grown into a chorus of 75,000 cisgender women who have stood up to say, clearly and…

The Equality Act: Why Trans Rights Still Prevail in Tribunals On 16 April, the Supreme Court ruled that, in the Equality Act (EA) 2010, “sex”, “man” and “woman” refer to biological sex, and that a Gender Recognition Certificate does not change a person’s sex for that Act. Time will tell whether this judgment violates Goodwin; however, in our opinion, it likely does.  Needless to say, many gender‑critical (GC) campaigners and their media allies hailed the SC judgment as a “landmark.” Some organisations, including the WI, Labour Women’s Conference, and Girlguiding, have since cited legal risk to justify excluding trans women,…

Trans Women in NHS Wards: FOI Data Reveals Only ONE Complaint Amid Culture War By TransLucent Investigative Team The foundation of the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) rests on core values: compassion, respect, dignity, and the binding commitment that “nobody is excluded, discriminated against or left behind”. As an organisation advocating for the rights and acceptance of the UK’s transgender and gender-diverse community, TransLucent finds these values to be essential. Yet, this essential consensus is currently under political assault. In October 2023, the then Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Steve Barclay, announced a commitment to change the…

Steph Richards’ Speech at the Labour Party Conference. On Tuesday, 30th September, our CEO, Steph Richards, spoke at a fringe event at the Labour Party Conference alongside some fifteen MPs and trade union general secretaries. It was warmly accepted – not for the first time, Steph got a standing ovation. This is what she said. “Firstly, I want to thank Alex for inviting me to speak. Let’s be honest: life is tough right now. For people of colour. For people of certain faiths. And for trans people. But we must not let the forces of hate win. This country—our country—has…

The Cass Review Is Not Helping Trans Youth The publication of the UK’s Independent Review of gender identity services for children and young people, widely known as the Cass Review, sent shockwaves through the trans community and gender healthcare professionals worldwide. Subsequently criticised by high-profile reports from Utah, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, Australia has now joined the chorus, saying the Cass Review is deeply flawed. Published in the Medical Journal of Australia today, the report is highly critical of Cass.  Commissioned following increasing referrals to GIDS and legal cases like Bell v Tavistock, the Review’s final report is fundamentally flawed…

The Society for Evidence Based Gender Medicine, described by researchers as a small group of anti-trans activists and a named hate group, influenced UK gender-affirming healthcare via the Cass Review. Continue Reading Exposing SEGM’s Influence on UK Trans Healthcare & Cass Review
