M&S should pledge to support their trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming employees, and make it quite clear that transphobes are unwelcome in their shops. People should be desperately ashamed of their transphobic bigotry. Trans people should be empowered and protected in their workplaces.
John Boyne has every right to tell his story about sexual abuse as a gay man. But that doesn’t excuse him punching down on trans people. You can’t claim to respect trans rights while framing them as a threat to women when they’re not.
If anyone has any contacts at Marks & Spencer to whom we can send our letter, please get in touch.
Success! We delivered our joint letter demanding full scrutiny, meaningful debate & a free vote for MPs on the new Code of Practice.

Many MPs we’ve spoken to are now ready to help.
❗️BUT they’ve advised that they need you—as constituents—to keep writing in❗️

The EHRC’s appointment of Dr. Mary-Ann Stevenson, a figure with known anti-trans views, makes clear it no longer serves all people. Equality Amplified no longer recognises the EHRC as a human rights body.

M&S have responded to our letter regarding the complaint about a supposedly trans employee.
Yet more evidence that anti-trans obsessives lied about the incident to stoke hostility towards trans people.
We all have a duty to tackle such mis(dis)information to protect our community.

These companies are making grave mistakes. Aligning with a ruling that actively harms trans people is not neutrality, it’s complicity. The fact it’s being cheered on by JK Rowling tells you exactly how exclusionary and cruel this moment is. Reconsider your values, Merlin.
We’re writing to Marks & Spencer to raise serious concerns about their handling of a trans staff member who was targeted for simply doing her job. We’ll be publishing our open letter shortly. No one’s dignity should be up for debate. #TransRights #StandWithTransStaff
This is state backed discrimination. The EHRC advising ministers to limit trans access to schools, hospitals, cinemas, and leisure centres is not “balancing rights” it’s fuelling exclusion. Trans people deserve safety, dignity, and equality. This is an attack on their basic freedoms, nothing less.
