Wondering how politicians have become so hostile to trans people? In part, it’s because they’ve believed professional organisations endorsing ‘gender critical’ transphobes - like the Association of Child Protection Professionals (AoCPP) What happens when safeguarding is captured harmful ideology?

While not the outcome we had hoped for, it doesn’t change the fact that trans women are women, nor does it take away the legal protections in place for trans people in the Equality Act under Gender Reassignment. This is not an excuse for anyone to discriminate against trans people.
