Crowdfunder
Fighting fund for trans rights

The Supreme Court’s decision to not include trans women in the definition of women in the Equality Act isn’t just wrong, it’s extremely harmful.
The Supreme Court can kid itself all it likes about this decision not being bad for trans people, but trans people know it is the latest savage blow against a community that is already reeling.
We are committed to stand with the trans community and fight these rollbacks, whatever it takes. We’re creating a fighting fund to look at both domestic and international cases, all the way up to the European Court of Human Rights.
This fight will be long – and it’ll be expensive. But as the world becomes a more hostile place for trans people, it’s a fight that becomes increasingly more important. If you are able to, your support means more now than ever.
Details
Funds raised will support our cases fighting for trans rights in the UK.
Ten per cent of the funds raised will be a contribution to the general running costs of Good Law Project. It is our policy only to raise sums that we anticipate could be spent on the work we are crowdfunding for. However, if there is a surplus it will go towards our work fighting for a fairer, greener future for all.

We’re challenging the ruling
We’ve also launched a separate crowdfunder to support a legal challenge which will assert that the law, as it stands, is incompatible with the United Kingdom’s human rights obligations. You can find out more and support that work here.

We’re taking the next steps
Thanks to your donations, the funds raised are now helping us take the next steps in a long fight. So far, we’ve used this money to advertise for a specialist solicitor focused on trans legal work and to commission legal letters to try and address common problems that trans people face.
We’ve also now received legal advice for families of trans children facing intrusive social services interventions, and we’ll be sharing guidance shortly.
We know this is a confusing and worrying time. We’re receiving a lot of questions about the impact of the recent Supreme Court judgment, and we’re working on a set of FAQs to help clarify how trans people should respond to it.
We will do more with the funds you have contributed, but this is what we have done so far.
