Browsing: Trans Rights

At Translucent, we advocate for and promote the UK’s transgender and gender-diverse community to advance visibility, social acceptance, legal recognition and improve healthcare. As part of this, we’ve reviewed articles concerning trans rights in order to:

  • Counter the slur of “trans ideology”: We aim to call out articles and people who use this term, asserting that trans people are biology, not an ideology.
  • Expose the trans-hostile activities of the EHRC (Equality and Human Rights Commission).
  • Campaign for GRA reform: Our articles support trans people and GRA reform, which would allow non-binary siblings to put an X on their passport.
  • Address misinformation about transgender lives, experiences, rights and healthcare, as well as investigate organisations and groups hostile to the trans community.
  • Promote trans inclusion in sports, emphasising that the human rights of one individual are equal to another, whatever sex.
  • Affirm trans rights as human rights.
  • Investigate anti-trans activities.

By Articles 10 Mins Read

Robin Moira White argues that Workplace (Health Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 should not be used to exclude transgender employees from facilities, because the regulations were intended to address the lack of facilities for women, predate consideration of transgender people in legislation, and lack definitions of “male” and “female”.
