TransLucent

TransLucent is proud to confirm a new match-funding initiative. Appalled by the ongoing rollback of trans rights in the UK, a generous Canadian benefactor has pledged to match every donation made this week (max £5000) Please donate and share. www.crowdjustice.com/case/challen...

BREAKING: "An NHS England impact assessment, seen by the Guardian, stated that trans people may also potentially experience discrimination and this could lead to them “avoiding accessing healthcare at all”. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Interim Statement: "For many, placing fully transitioned trans women who have undertaken one of the most difficult journeys in humanity and have female anatomy in a man’s NHS ward will be revolting. translucent.org.uk/interim-stat...

FINAL THOUGHT OF THE DAY… It’s not cruel. It’s not unworkable… It’s genocidal… The intent is to make healthcare inaccessible to us. They know most of us can’t afford private healthcare to avoid this. Placing a trans person on a ward of “birth sex” is designed to induce dysphoria.

Great that some of the TransLucent team met with NION women at the Greens conference over the weekend. The event was a huge success and will likely relocate to a larger space next year. A huge "thank you" to the Greens and LGBT Foundation for organising.

ACTION THIS DAY 👇 For the trans community, getting back under the jurisdiction of the ECJ would be a boost in regaining our civil rights.

The gender critical anti-trans movement frequently cites detransition as a reason to oppose gender-affirming healthcare - the data proves the exact opposite. translucent.org.uk/trans-detran...

TransLucent will be at the Birdcage tomorrow (BN2 1TL) from 0930 to 1130 at the Lib Dem Autumn Conference, informing delegates about trans rights, or, to be precise, the lack of them. A huge thanks to Lib Dems LGBT and LGBT Foundation for the invite. #LibDemConf #LibDem26 #LibDem

"We have instructed our legal team at Leigh Day to prepare a formal intervention. Sex Matters bases its argument on a narrow reading of the For Women Scotland judgment, claiming the Equality Act 2010 defines “woman” solely by biological sex..... translucent.org.uk/translucent-...

STATEMENT: After a formal complaint from TransLucent, the media outlet City AM has updated its article on whether workers can use toilets according to their gender. This relates to a letter sent by the trans hostile group Sex Matters to Mary-Ann Stevenson at the EHRC. .

Emily has been treated disgracefully by the Labour Party for a while. I wrote about how they sabotaged her standing in the general election. They would rather have another Conservative than a trans person in parliament. ko-fi.com/post/The-Con...

ACTION THIS DAY… It takes only a few seconds, and we in the trans community will be needing the ECHR to undo much of the damage that has been done to us. www.europeanmovement.co.uk/echr-petition

I think we need trans organisations like @tacc.org.uk, @transactualuk.bsky.social, @translucent.org.uk, etc. to make preparations. To write to clinics which we use advising them that getting a “diagnosis” is nearing impossible in the UK and advising the clinics to make reasonable adjustments.

Phrases like “protecting women’s spaces” or “defending women’s rights” carry deep rhetorical weight. They sound grounded in decades of movement work, yet beneath the surface, the objective is not protection - it's discrimination. translucent.org.uk/how-anti-tra...

On Saturday, the 26th of September, 2026, the Labour Party will hold a conference where an entire protected characteristic of people is effectively BANNED from being a delegate. It's the Labour Party's 'Day of Shame." Join Steph, Councillors & Trade Unionists at a protest. youtu.be/BYFHO8F9Aqs

We’ve written to the UK Supreme Court with a formal complaint about its permanent “The Law and Us” exhibition and its presentation of For Women Scotland TACC, alongside @translucent.org.uk and @transparentaction.bsky.social, are calling for a full review of its wording, imagery, balance and context

Protest is a human right. If you would like to join some of our members who will also be protesting at the Women's Conference in Liverpool on September 26th, please email us at: contact@translucent.org.uk Thanks for mentioning @subtleinternal.bsky.social

TRANSLUCENT STATEMENT: "Every other protected characteristic under UK law remains welcome at [Labour's] Women’s Conference – only one group has been explicitly barred from the democratic process of being delegates: Trans people. translucent.org.uk/translucents...

FIRST THOUGHT OF THE DAY… “Sex realism”. “Race realism”. It is the slippery slope to who is allowed to exist realism.

Well said, Steph.
