Today’s decision by the Supreme Court will have come as a shock, and trans people will understandably fear its ramifications. Already it is being used as a cover for transphobic abuse and as an excuse to encourage hate in the public sphere.
The trustees of Together for the Church of England want to make absolutely clear our belief that trans people are beloved, held, and rejoiced over by the God who loved each and every one of us into being, and for our trans siblings to know that we stand in solidarity alongside you. We will not stay silent as you face the way ahead, and we commit ourselves to listening to and amplifying your voices.
You are holy and adored by God. We will not stand by when anyone tries to diminish or deny the dignity of God’s beloved children and our treasured siblings.
