Turns out unions can disagree with the Supreme Court without legal advice being used to prevent discussion. Funny that!

As was shown when the motion on the Sullivan review was passed overwhelmingly, and the same as every year when trans supportive motions pass, shows members and the rep base of the union support our trans members. Please reach out to the PNC as well if you feel you'd like advice or support from us.

PCS Proud @pcsproud.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

We would encourage comrades to remain members, although obviously understand the fury people will feel. As usual, when motion on the Sullivan review got to conference floor, it was supported nearly unanimously. PCS members support trans rights, and we need to fight for a leadership which does too!

We must welcome the diversity of gender in all its forms, expressions and identities. There is so much to celebrate about being trans, and to express oneself in the way one wishes. The result of this court ruling doesn’t change who we are, or who we can be.

This is shocking and bigoted. Yet, you could imagine the current Tory party, and certainly Reform issuing the same sort of orders. We have to be on our guard that Labour doesn't tilt even further right on Trans and non-binary rights. Seeking to triangulate its position with those of Reform.
