Some of the UK’s leading media brands – including Disney, Sky, the Financial Times and GSN – have written to Prime Minister Boris Johnson to support the trans community.
The letter is a reaction to Equality Minister Liz Truss indicating she will restrict trans people’s access to ‘single sex’ spaces.
This could prevent trans people using public toilets and changing rooms, seriously restricting their day-to-day lives. The letter calls on the government to push forward with modernising gender recognition.
In 2018, the UK promised to update the 2004 Gender Recognition Act (GRA). The changes would make it easier for trans people to change their legal gender.
