Look out for the Resisting Transphobia in Edinburgh banner. RIC is assembling at 11:30am on the front steps of St Giles' Cathedral. They are looking forward to seeing us there!

The Radical Independence Campaign radical bloc is marching as part of 'Believe in Scotland' on the theme of "A Scotland for All, against racism and fascism", and is being supported by the Republican Socialist Platform, Scottish Socialist Youth, SNP Socialists and rs21 Edinburgh. Believe in Scotland' is the national coordinating campaign of the grassroots Scottish independence movement. it a coalition of 143 local and national Yes Groups including the SNP and the Scottish Greens.

Resisting Transphobia in Edinburgh (RTiE) lead a demonstration in Edinburgh today to support and protect Scotland’s transgender community in the face of rising persecution and discrimination. Today we are standing strong and together and saying no to the idea that segregation can ever be liberation.

A demonstration has been scheduled to coincide with & counteract a protest from Women Won’t Wheesht over the Supreme Court’s ruling for single-sex spaces. They demand that this be implemented across all government departments, a policy that we believe is demeaning & dehumanising for trans people.

Image shows a clenched trans fist breaking chains. The image title reads "Not the TERFS, Not the State, We decide our own fate. 1pm Sat 1st Nov, Scottish Parliament".

Slide reads:

WHAT

NOT THE TERFS!

NOT THE STATE!

WE DECIDE OUR OWN FATE!

TURN OUT FOR COLLECTIVE LIBERATION.

SHOW TERFS THAT THEY CANNOT DIVIDE US.

RESIST THE FAR-RIGHT'S MISOGYNIST ATTEMPTS TO CONTROL WOMEN'S AND TRANS PEOPLE'S BODIES.

Slide reads:

WHY

199 days on from the Supreme Court ruling, Women Won't Wheesht are planning a protest at the Scottish Parliament on 1st November.

Their TERF project is an attack on progressive feminism and a dangerous dead end in the fight against the far right, who are the real threat to women and girls.

The transphobes have been utterly silent in recent weeks on the rash of far right protests across Scotland, including the Tommy Robinson rally, while we act in community with all oppressed groups.

TERFs may have been emboldened by the Supreme Court Ruling, but so have we. Just a few days later, we marched through Edinburgh to express our rage, our community's resilience, and our commitment to keep fighting for trans liberation as part of progressive feminism.

That march was only the start.

When we fight for liberation, we fight for everyone.

We cannot let them win.

Slide reads:

HOW

Bring your flags, banners, signs, megaphones and drums.

Listen to messages of solidarity, resilience and hope from Edinburgh's trans community and allies.

Chant

Dance

Share home-made snacks.

Commit to taking care of one another, building our community's resilience, and keeping up the fight.

We welcome the news that Pride Edinburgh, following many Pride organisations across the UK, has banned the involvement of political parties. However, Pride Edinburgh continues to ignore disability access to the event. Now they have listened to trans people, we ask them to hear the voices of others.

Pride Edinburgh press statement

Political Parties and
Pride Edinburgh 2025

As we make the final preparations for Pride Edinburgh 2025: we are
visible, marking our 28th event in our 30th year, we do so with a deep
sense of urgency and concern.

The organising team is alarmed by the ongoing rollback of
protections and support for the transgender community, driven by
those in power across both the Scottish and UK Governments and
political parties.

At its core, pride exists to amplify community voices, empower
individuals, and hold institutions accountable. any move to silence or
exclude undermines these very principles. We share the community’s
anger, grief, and frustration.

Following the recent supreme court ruling and the continued lack of
meaningful political action. we stand in unwavering solidarity with our trans siblings. They deserve better.

It is clear those in power and the combined voices of political parties
across the uk, by their silence and inaction, are not hearing the voices
of our community, and it would be wrong for pride Edinburgh 2025 to
give political parties a platform at our event.

Therefore, the first time in our history, pride Edinburgh is suspending
the participation of all political parties from our 2025 event, and this
means:

- There will be no traditional pre-march speeches by political parties representatives at pride Edinburgh 2025.

- Political Parties will not be eligible for stalls at the community fair.

- Political Parties will not be permitted to march in the pride march.

Instead, in the spirit of reclaiming pride’s purpose, we are proud to
support our partners at the equality network, who will host a
community-led speeches stage on the morning of the march. This stage,
located away from the Scottish parliament, will feature specially
invited speakers from within the community and beyond. Full details
will be announced by the equality network in due course.

We are also honoured to confirm that the sisters of perpetual
indulgence will once again lead the community in their traditional
minutes noise and minutes silence ahead of the march.

Pride remains open to all individuals who support the values of
equality, visibility, and justice. Individual MPs, MSPs, and members of
Political Parties are welcome to join us in a personal capacity, in
solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community.

Pride Edinburgh has never issued a ban and we will not begin now.
there will be no bans issued for Pride 2025.

Pride Edinburgh 2025: We Are Visible will be a
powerful reminder that our fight for equality
is far from over.

Our community stands united—and we will
continue to hold those in power to account
until they do better.

Pride Edinburgh team.

We need to be there. There have been a number of good statements from the trade union movement in support of trans rights following the Supreme Court ruling. May Day in Edinburgh is an opportunity for our community to be visible, and to show solidarity with our friends. #mayday
