Five Tips for Trans People Facing UK Rights Changes

Hi, everybody.

Uh, hope you're

bearing up as best you can.

Um, obviously, this is a terrifying, scary

moment, and lots of trans people and our

families and friends

are extremely frightened and worried

at the moment. So here's

five things that I would re- recommend that you

do. First of all, if you have official ID,

driving license, passport, those types of things,

renew them as soon as possible. Things are

changing at such

a rapid speed

here. We just don't know what's around the

corner.

Second, do not vote Labour

in the upcoming council elections.

All people need to send

Labour a message that

this retrograde step, which is gonna sh- be

humiliating, it's discriminatory, it puts

people in danger,

not just trans people,

people who don't

look

atypically female,

that it's evil, it's retrograde. So do not

vote Labour.

Thirdly, write to your MP.

Let them know how unacceptable this is.

There are template letters out there,

uh, if you're not

great at writing letters,

um, but if you

can, and give your

personal experiences,

please

do so. Fourthly, carry on

using the facilities that you always

have been.

This is so important.

It's really important that we do not accept this

and we do not conform.

It's in breach

of European human rights, and this case will go

to the European Court of Human Rights.

So carry on. If you are challenged or even

stopped, contact the Good Law Project

and they will record

the incident.

Next, just take care of yourself.

Well, ugh,

obviously this is, um...

It's very scary, and it's very stressful,

um, but surround your fre- self with friends

and, um,

and just take care.

Um,

yeah.

Okay. Bye.
