For the benefit of those coming to this fresh, the action taken is far more than this statement - the unions refused to send delegates to the Labour Women's Conference on Saturday because it was trans exclusive, leading to the Women and Equality Minister giving a keynote to a largely empty hall.

For all that it's been barely reported in the UK press, it's still hard to understate the importance of the stance @labourunionsuk.bsky.social has taken on trans and non-binary rights this week. Every single trade union affiliated to the party of government has stood up and said we will not comply.

Joint statement from National TULO

Solidarity with the trans and non-binary community

Labour's 11 affiliated trade unions stand in total solidarity with the trans and non-binary community.

Trans rights are human rights, and trans rights are workers' rights.

We in the trade union movement will do all we can to stand up for our trans members and all our trans siblings, to protect them from persecution, harassment and attack.

The government must act now to protect all trans people, to make sure their rights are protected, expanded and upheld in our workplaces and communities.

Labour Unions

I don't see a lot of outlets talking about Turkey's raid over the weekend of a bunch of LGBTQIA+ people. Some reports say up to 163 people, some of who had their houses raided in the middle of the night. Peep the name of the campaign: "My Family is Safe." www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/09/turk...

Legal authorities in Istanbul, Turkey, arrested at least 47 people across 12 provinces in government raids on LGBTQ+ bars, activist homes, and associations that took place over the weekend. The government crackdown is part of its ongoing “My Family Is Safe” campaign targeting LGBTQ+ people in the name of protecting family values, even though Turkey doesn’t have laws explicitly banning homosexuality, Reuters reported.

The Istanbul chief prosecutor’s office said 26 individuals were detained, with authorities seizing drugs, digital equipment, smuggled alcohol, and a firearm. Authorities also reportedly blocked access to dozens of websites and social media accounts linked to LGBTQ+ organizations, activists, and rights advocates.

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

If you spend even one second scolding anyone who doesn’t want to vote for transphobic democrats instead telling those democrats to fix their shit then you’re just an asshole. You’re a stupid fucking bigot and your instinct to tell trans people how to feel is blaring like an air raid siren.

Free political advice, most people are fairly tuned out when it comes to trans rights yet find it deeply weird to be obsessed with trans people, transphobia is the remit of billionaire pedophiles, and if you're adopting anti-trans stances, that's who it looks like you're serving the interests of.

BASH BACK @bashback.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

The London Assembly, spurred on by Reform UK, have elected to publicly condemn BASH BACK. This is a blatant attempt to distract from a wave of fascist and anti-trans violence conducted and spurred on by the state, politicians, and right-wing agitators. We won't be intimidated (1/2)

"London Assembly Publicly Condemns BASH BACK at Behest of Reform UK.
We won't be intimidated. Statement follows."

"On 10th september 2026, the London Assembly voted to publicly condemn BASH BACK and call for its proscription by the Home Secretary.

This vote was called by alex wilson am of Reform UK, and voted through exclusively by Conservative and Reform Party members of the Assembly, with Lib Dems and Green members voting against, and Labour AMs abstaining.

This is a blatant attempt by the fascist right to criminalise disruptive non-violent protest as the state increases its stranglehold on trans lives, and Reform and the Conservatives celebrate violence within their own parties."

Justifying their decision the Assembly have relied on the language of disgraced former MP and alleged sex-pest and bully John Woodcock (which we critiqued in our article for Freedom Press), as well as parroting the lie that BASH BACK is a violent organisation, due to - apparently - our depictions of hammers on social media.

In doing this, Britain’s right have shamelessly weaponised the legacy of Jo Cox, whose murder by a neo-Nazi has long since been used to justify acts of authoritarian state violence, rather than to critique or condemn the xenophobic fascism that informed her murderer.

Why? Because Reform UK practice that exact same kind of nationalist authoritarianism.

Reform have used BASH BACK - a non-violent group - as a scapegoat to evade their ideological connection to a wave of increasing anti-migrant and fascist violence

Echoing Woodcock, the Assembly also goes on to make serious accusations about our group surrounding the death of Anne Widdicombe, tantamount to interfering with a police investigation.

Despite stating this numerous times in the past, we must once again maintain that we do not practice any form of violence against any individual, and would never endorse or celebrate such violence. We never commented on Anne Widdicombe or her death before these accusations, and we do not wish physical harm on any individual.

The same, however, cannot be said for Reform UK.

The third panel has the guard replying "what do you mean normal men?". The fourth panel shows both the goblin in the coat and the guard. The coat is beginning to open to show many goblins within. The guard looks suspicious and a goblin emerging from the coat is saying "We're just innocent men!"

What the UK Government is going by its decisions on trans people is teaching trans people that authority doesn't protect, but instead abuses. This applies in schools, in the workplace, in civic society, in politics, in healthcare. And if they can do this to trans people, they can do it to anyone.
