We've written & published a short summary statement regarding the Sandie Peggie V NHS Fife Health Board employment tribunal case & the judgment given yesterday. Much of the media coverage has missed key information, the most important aspect being that all claims against Dr Beth Upton were dismissed
Graphic with a blue to purple gradient background. It says "A short summary of the Sandie Peggie V. Fife Health Board and Dr Beth Upton employment tribunal judgment" The Equality Network and Scottish Trans logos are at the bottom.

We asked trans and non-binary people in Scotland about their experiences with work and employment. We included questions about their experiences of workplace culture, being unemployed and accessing and recieving support at work.
Graphic with a purple background. In the top left corner is a line drawing of a person wearing a shirt and tie. In a white box it says "38% of trans and non-binary people we heard from were currently unemployed, with just over a quarter (25%) having been unemployed for the past 5 years. 

Full time workers we heard from had a lower median earning that the general population."

Along with @lgbtiscotland.bsky.social, we've published our reaction to the judgement in the UK Supreme Court today. There will be more we want to say to trans people directly once we have a chance to catch our breath. www.equality-network.org/uk-supreme-c...
Graphic with a purple background. It reads: "We are really shocked by today's Supreme Court decision- which reverses twenty years of understanding on how the law recognises trans men and women with Gender Recognition Certificates. The judgement seems to have totally missed what matters to trans people- - that we are able to live our lives, and be recognised, in line with who we truly are. We will continue working for a world in which trans people can get on with our lives with privacy, dignity and safety. That is something that we all deserve.". The Scottish Trans and Equality Network logos are in the bottom right.

Solidarity to all local Prides in their stance against Political Parties supporting a Puberty Blocker Ban
Unite Regional LGBT+ Committee statement on political parties participating in pride
 
Unite has a long history of standing beside those who are most vulnerable to discrimination. Our union also has a strong history of holding politicians to account and challenging any failures to legislate to protect the most vulnerable in our society.
 
In line with these principles we are proud to stand alongside the call for uninviting all political parties, who have supported and enacted the puberty blocker ban for trans people, from participating in Prides.
 
Unite has proudly participated in Prides to show our support for LGBTQIA+ rights, and we actively campaign for those rights.
 
Pride is a protest, and those who fail to support the protest have no right to be there.
 
Pride is a call for action, and those who are in positions of power must use that power to act for everyone in the LGBTQIA+ communities.
 
Unite’s policy is to support non-commercial, community-based Prides who focus on the rights and needs of everyone who is part of the LGBTQIA+ communities. Unite will be following our policy when deciding which local Prides to support and participate in.
