The political pressure and cross-party consensus for change is building, and we aren’t going anywhere. Campaigning work like ours is expensive to do well, so if you can support our work - it really makes a difference. Thank you ❤️ www.zeffy.com/en-GB/donati...

Thank you @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social and every MP who joined to speak to constituents at the mass lobby 💪 There is now a huge gap in trans people’s legal protections, and together we will keep fighting for better 🏳️‍⚧️

TransActual partnered with @scottishtrans.bsky.social and @transsolidarity.bsky.social to bring messages from this month’s Mass Lobby for Trans Equality to the Labour conference in Liverpool, and to ask the party: what now for our standing on LGBTQ+ rights?

NHS Wales’ Joint Commissioning Committee said it had to suddenly stop trans surgeries for an urgent investigation. Several weeks later and it still hasn’t even started investigating yet. Enough’s enough, it’s time to tell the JCC: give us back our healthcare. transactual.org.uk/blog/2026/09...

We are grinning ear to ear because 1) everything ran smoothly 2) we love each other. 3) its finally nearly 🍷o'clock (pic taken at 6:30 I think). There were SO many feelings at the lobby, but love and respect - for ourselves and each other - was everywhere. This is movement MADE of love. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

🧵Yesterday hundreds of trans people, family and friends queued for *hours* to exercise their democratic rights -lobbying their MPs to stand up for trans people's right to live as free and equal members of society. This is me and my wonderful friend Alex after a day of running (another) mass lobby 👇
Two women smiling broadly with their arms around each other holding up small signs.  One says "Mass Lobby for Trans Equality" the other says "Trans people deserve real equality".  The woman on the left has short grey hair, and is wearing a short sleeved light blue shirt. The woman on the right has long black wavy hair, and is wearing a red t shirt and a high vis.

MPs were streaming in and out of Westminster hall all day, for planned meetings & green cards. We know not everyone got to meet their MP, but the response rate was really high and the scale made it clear that we aren’t letting this drop. If your MP didn’t show, do use this to ask to meet locally!
