TransLucent Parkrun Statement Feb 2024

TransLucent.org roundly condemns the ongoing Gender Critical attempts to create an invented problem for Parkrun, which is a charity organisation whose aim is simply to improve people’s health and has never been promoted as a competitive sport. It’s a fun run.

Reply To Labour List, Labour Together and Ellie Cumbo

Reply To Labour List, Labour Together and Ellie Cumbo On the 14th of September, Labourlist.Org published an article by Ellie Cumbo from the Labour Together group that says they are “policy experts, political strategists and pollsters drawn from politics, academia, business and civil society”. Ms Cumbo’s article is in response to the rollback of the Labour Party’s position concerning trans people being able to change legal gender by a method referred to as “Self-ID”. We need to be clear here. When trans people refer to “Self-ID”, we mean the adoption of the “gold standard” of changing legal gender. It is…

Dark forces are at work – not content to allow trans people to live their lives as their authentic selves; there is a global movement that wants society to believe that many trans folks are unhappy and then detransition. That movement is the gender-critical movement that allies with the right-wing media to enforce the binary and suggest that being trans is a ‘fad’ or a ‘figment’ of trans people’s minds.   But trans people do exist, and in the UK, one in every two hundred people are trans and many transition to the opposite sex – with virtually everyone finding true…

The trans-hostile organisation Sex Matters.Org has been accused of being associated with “terrorism and hate” after having its website blocked by Swedish company Icomera acting on behalf of Great Western Railways. Icomera provides integrated connectivity solutions for trains, trams, buses, and coaches. They are the world’s leading provider of these solutions, serving millions of passengers and tens of thousands of vehicles daily. Sex Matters claim they are a “human-rights organisation”, but this is disputed by many LGBT+ people who say they are seeking to reduce the human rights of trans people by making changes to the Equality Act 2010.
