Reject any attempts to restrict trans people’s rights to access public bathrooms and other gendered spaces, which we have freely exercised for decades. Trans people have a right to access gendered spaces by self-ID (including prisons).

End the testing of hormone levels in women athletes, which has led to the exclusion of gender non-conforming women. Transgender women have been competing in women's sports for many years. Regardless of their success, the question of their participation should be looked at fairly. Transphobia and misogyny have no place in sport. No athlete should be excluded on the grounds of being transgender.

Demand 1 - Legalise trans existence existence

Demand number 1: Legalise Trans Existence

Amend the Equality Act 2010 to undo the damage caused by the Supreme Court ruling of 16th April 2025 by making it clear “sex” refers to a person's current lived sex and adding gender identity as a protected characteristic. Ensure that “gender-critical” beliefs cannot be treated as protected beliefs.

Enshrine the right to self-identification of gender, including non-binary gender, for all purposes.

Abolish gender markers from official documentation such as passports.

Reject plans for the introduction of ID cards as an authoritarian imposition that will be disproportionately used to police and harass trans people, migrants, and people of colour.

Scrap the Equality and Human Rights Commission - it is broken and not fit for purpose and should be replaced with an equalities body that actually protects human rights.

Ensure that trans people are represented through a democratic structure in the party with a right to be consulted on all decisions specifically impacting trans people - nothing about us without us!

Ensure party structures allow for the membership to have full democratic control over the party’s policies, agenda and who its representatives are.

Create a systematic political education scheme which is compulsory for all elected representatives, which includes education about trans liberation.

Over the next few days we will be posting our demands into 4 overarching demands/group
Today Demand 0 - A party for everyone

Demand Number zero: A Party For Everyone.

Require all elected party representatives to be bound by the programme democratically agreed by the membership, which will have trans liberation at its core.

Ensure that elected representatives are held accountable to the membership and censure and remove any representatives who break from this programme (including promoting transphobic bigotry or discrimination).

Create a transparent disciplinary process for all members to prevent bigotry and discrimination, overseen by a democratically-elected committee including representation for trans people. This should be guided by the principles of transformative justice, with efforts to resolve issues through mediation and education where possible.

We support campaigns for member democracy.

We are supporting campaigns for member democracy.

We know the average person in Your Party stands in solidarity with us in the fight for trans liberation. They are as repulsed as we are by comments made by MPs, such as Adnan Hussain, and other less prominent individuals jockeying for position in the party.
Founding Statement:
Through member democracy, we have a safeguard against individuals using positions of influence to embed transphobia in the party’s policy programme and create a hostile environment for trans party members.
- Trans Liberation Group

Founding Statement:
A democratic, member-led foundation can make trans liberation an integral part of the party programme, and use collective might to overthrow any self appointed party kings who believe their personal bigotry should undermine both our rights, and the principles of party democracy.
- Trans Liberation Group

Founding Statement:
By campaigning for a democratic party with a member led founding conference, there is an opening for trans people to make a significant intervention in what could become the largest political party in Europe. We do not need to beg for patronage from an MP for a seat at the table, we can organise and claim our own place as members.

That is why we are urging you, whether trans or cis, to join our struggle - Link in Bio.

We are the Trans Liberation Group and we are fighting for a foundation of trans liberation in Your Party, in its current and future iterations.

Founding Statement:
The situation for trans people in Britain is critical. We face a barrage of billionaire bankrolled abuse in the media. We endure decades long waiting lists to access limited healthcare, with dehumanisation and pathologisation built in to the system.

In the job market, we are met with discrimination, lack of opportunity and stagnating pay. We are excluded from housing, healthcare, employment, leisure - now even our use of bathrooms is policed.

Something must change.
- Trans Liberation Group

Founding Statement:
For trans people, today’s politics is exhausting. The major political parties have used and discarded us time and time again. Too often, exclusionary figures are embedded in leadership capacities, and even in progressive parties, those on the fringes can spew hatred unchallenged.

We say no more. This cannot happen in Your Party. The liberation of all marginalised people can only be achieved through their active and equal participation in class struggle; there can only be a precarious freedom for some under current conditions.
- Trans Liberation Group

ounding Statement:
We are the Trans Liberation Group and we are fighting to ensure Your Party, in its current and future iterations, explicitly advocates for trans liberation, and encourages the political participation of trans people.

We know there are prominent figures who have been platformed under the banner of Your Party who hold regressive, misinformed and dangerous views on trans people. We are here to show them that this is our party, and we will fight tooth and nail to prevent this oppressive
politics from taking root.
