GIRES Statement on Supreme Court Ruling

The Supreme Court ruling has many widespread and harmful implications. GIRES stands in solidarity with trans, intersex and non-binary people as we work with other LGBTQ+ organisations to navigate what the full implications are.

We need to understand fully what the ruling will mean on both legal and practical levels, and we will provide more information over the coming weeks. It is a complex ruling, but it is important to be reminded that the Supreme Court reaffirmed that the Equality Act protects trans people against discrimination, based on Gender Reassignment, and will continue to do so.
