Trans Legal Project is a small network of barristers, solicitors, post-graduate law students and legal researchers, giving their time free to provide general legal guidance in support of the UK trans community. This website contains articles and opinion written by legally qualified authors (plus occasional commentary by others), aimed at helping trans people and their legal advocates understand the law and to claim and protect their legal rights in the UK. The last few years have seen an intense effort by opponents to have the basic rights of trans people eroded, even destroyed. Some of these efforts have been founded in ignorance, others willfully fueled by baseless fears. Increasingly they are being initiated by cynical bad-faith actors who wish the trans community harm. 

This site offers analysis of relevant statutory and case law, plus commentary on political initiatives that might affect the law for trans people in the UK.

 

Please note that we are not a legal support service and that we do not have the resource to be able to offer specific guidance on individual cases. For this type of work please visit and support Trans Legal Clinic (not affiliated).
