86% of the 38,000 responses were in favour of trans people having continued access.
The transphobic rhetoric is political because in real life, people who are consulted, choose inclusion.
It's time to see past our differences and remember what connects us.
When we realise where our strength lies - in each other - that's when change happens.

Hoping every "i want to vote green but it feels like a wasted vote" is seeing this. It IS possible. As cheesy as it sounds, you have to be the change you want to see. Vote green 🟢
I'm sorry but it's hard to see people lie about how legal immigration to the United Kingdom works, and say nothing about it.
I am a legal immigrant to the UK. In 2023, I had to spent roughly £5,000 for a 2.5 years visa, NHS surcharge, biometric appointment and language tests.
I will have to spend £4,000 this year, to extend my visa by another 2.5 years, after which, I'll need to pay again for indefinite leave-to-remain.
On top of that, as a legal immigrant, I am understandably required to pay taxes, national insurance and can NOT claim benefits.
This on-going myth that legal immigrants are free-loading on UK taxpayers is complete bullshit. If anything, I'm subsidising them.
My legal immigrant ass is a net benefit to your country.
For 16 years until 2014 Julie Hesmondhalgh played a trans woman called Hayley Cropper on Coronation Street. Nobody screamed. Nobody rioted. There was no national meltdown. People just watched the show and got on with their lives.
During those same years Helen Joyce worked at The Economist and Maya Forstater was a tax advisor and JK Rowling just wrote books.
Oh and Nadia won Big Brother!
So what changed.
Not trans people.
The only thing that changed was the hate campaign.
