Over 900 people travelled to Westminster yesterday (Wednesday 25 June 2025) to lobby MPs over trans rights.

Over 1,400 – among them ‘Foundations’ singer Kate Nash – signed up for what was reportedly the largest LGBTQ lobby since the campaign against Section 28 in the late 1980s.

The lobby preceded the unveiling of ‘bathroom ban’ proposals from the EHRC (Equality and Human Rights Commission) following the Supreme Court’s ruling in April that the legal definitions of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ must be based on biological sex.

The proposals would enforce blanket bans of trans and gender-diverse people from everyday spaces like toilets and changing rooms, and prevent all women’s, men’s and gay and lesbian services and associations from being trans-inclusive.
