TV presenter Rylan Clark condemned a mass wave of hate aimed at trans people and described a mindset that judges the whole community for individual actions. Clark urged greater visibility of real trans stories and asked others to empathise with trans experiences, describing many transitions as ‘absolutely awful’. The UK Supreme Court ruled that the protected characteristic of “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 does not include trans people. The Equality and Human Rights Commission issued draft guidance proposing exclusion of trans men and women from single-sex services, and a leaked final guidance would ban trans people from changing rooms, wards and sporting competitions.
Trans people ... they're going through a wave of hate at the minute, and I think there is space to show real stories, real trans people. A lot of people out there think trans people are the enemy, f*** me. I'd like you to walk a mile in their shoes and see who the real enemy is out there to people, because the stories that I know of friends of mine and people that I've grown up with, transitions are awful, absolutely awful.
I feel that there is a mass wave of hate just sweeping the community, especially trans people at the moment,
There's a lot of people that are talking about bathrooms and spaces and things like this and people are just being tarnished with the same brush.
