Proud will not stand silent whilst our members are under attack in wider society, and we hope the General Secretary will address the concerns of LGBT+ members and show in solidarity with LGBT+ members.

We have asked for a full written response, but have also repeated our request made previously to meet with her to discuss directly the very genuine and serious concerns LGBT+ members have in PCS.

PCS Proud @pcsproud.bsky.social · Sep 10

We would encourage members of Proud to share this letter widely amongst other members, branches, groups and regions/nations and our allies in other unions.

We are also asking for solidarity from PCS members, branches, groups and our allies in other unions.

Another brilliant #TUCLGBT conference has just finished. The motion voted by Conference to go to TUC Congress is the Emergency Composite Motion:
Supreme Court Ruling - Active support for Trans and non-binary workers.

TUC LGBT+ Emergency Composite motion voted to go to TUC Congress in September 2025.

@clairemullaly.bsky.social reading the #TUCLGBT committee statement in support for #SexWorkers. Overwhelming support for the call to protect all workers, especially those at risk of the highest level of danger and vulnerability.

Well quite... Section 28 was the law, unions campaigned against it... The law condoned (if it didn't actually promote) sacking civil servants for being gay, unions campaigned against it... The government made union membership illegal for GCHQ staff, unions campaigned against it...

That makes more sense!!!

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

allthisandless @allthisandless.bsky.social · May 27

Now, I've teased some UCU reps over the years for being a bit too serious over things that didn't need to be so serious about, but on this, they're right, absolutely spot on right... Are you listening @pcsunion.bsky.social..?

I know @pcsproud.bsky.social are...

"Yesterday, delegates at the congress of the University and College Union, which represents more than 120,000 staff, backed a motion committing the union to calling on employers to support the right for workers to use the gendered spaces they believe to be appropriate to them" [Times]

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 · May 21

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!

Thanks to Ashleeee for posting our statement!
We'd usually share it here the same time we do elsewhere, but it's lengthy! So thanks to them for doing the hard work for us. It's been a long week 🥲

The PCS Proud National Committee is appalled following 25 motions at ADC 2025 being marked out of order—an unprecedented number compared to just 3 last year—due to legal concerns. It has not escaped.....

PCS will fight these attacks on our trans members, and the wider trans community.

If you are feeling affected by this ruling and need support, below are links of organisations that could help.

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.

... Historic act which has protected tens of thousands from discrimination since its implementation.

Many PCS members rely on the Equality Act 2010, and while it is outdated and could be improved, it should not be amended with the view of eroding the rights of trans people.
