The High Court has ruled against Sex Matters in our case against the National Police Chiefs’ Council and British Transport Police over their “consensual” searching policies.
Our case is simply that such a policy is unlawful: a police officer has no power to conduct a strip search other than in accordance with PACE.
We will be seeking permission to appeal this judgment, which we believe is wrong in law.
When someone is being told by a police officer to remove their clothes, sex matters.
On the left: A despicable, privileged, straight white man, who must be stopped.
On the right: A stunning and brave, vulnerable, Trans woman, who must be praised.
This is the power of pronouns.🥳
This is the message young girls receive when athletes like Sophie Cunningham use their platform to speak the truth in love.
Courage IS contagious. It sounds cliche, but it's true.
I’m 16. I play because I love my sport and my team.
Watching @sophaller say it out loud — that girls shouldn’t have to give up fair competition or our privacy — meant more than she’ll ever know. When a WNBA star says it, maybe people finally listen.
I know what it’s like to have your voice on this treated like it’s hateful. It isn’t. Wanting a fair game and a private locker room was never hate. It’s just the truth, and I’m done being afraid to say it.
Thank you, Sophie, for going first. You made it easier for the rest of us.
To every trans Londoner: this city is yours too.
Today we celebrate London Trans+ Pride and reaffirm a simple truth: you should be free to live as yourself, without fear or prejudice.
You are loved. You are wanted. You belong here.
