Today London Trans Pride was full of celebration, defiance, joy, tears, pride and protest. 150K trans+ people, allies, parents, partners, & children saying “ENOUGH” at the cruelty & blatant discrimination being targeted at trans+ people in the UK - much of it from our current government!

Merry Christmas 🤍 ❄️ 🎅 As parents of trans, non-binary and gender-diverse children and adults, we know how much it matters for trans people to feel safe, seen and valued, especially at this time of year. Sending warmth to all trans+ people who deserve dignity, joy and love. Transparent Action 🤍

Everyone should have access to timely, respectful and evidence-based care that meets their individual needs. For trans and non-binary people, this means healthcare grounded in internationally recognised standards and delivered without stigma or delay ✍ Sign our pledge: tinyurl.com/transparentaction

Our children should be able to join in with friends, study without fear, apply for jobs, travel safely and access public services without prejudice. The rights that protect everyone must protect them clearly and consistently. This is not a special request. It is equal treatment.

Trans+ people deserve to live, learn and work without being singled out or treated unfairly. As parents of trans+ people, we've seen how discrimination creates barriers in school, healthcare, housing and in everyday public life. It pushes people out of opportunities that others take for granted.

Parents know how important it is for their children to have a secure foundation. Legal recognition is part of that foundation. It protects trans and non-binary people in daily life and reduces opportunities for discrimination, delay or doubt.

Legal recognition should be straightforward and accessible, not a long or demeaning process that heightens vulnerability. This includes recognising non-binary people in law so no one is left unseen or excluded.

Our 2nd Transparent Pledge point is legal recognition. Everyone should be able to live confidently as themselves with documents that reflect who they are. For our children, and all trans+ people, this is about safety, privacy and the freedom to move through life without unnecessary barriers...

We want this respect for our own young and adult children, and we want it for every trans and non-binary person. Parents of trans people of all ages are invited to join us by signing the Transparent Pledge. Add your name to help us speak with one united voice in support of dignity for all.

This principle matters because respect is the starting point for everything else. It shapes how teachers speak to our children in classrooms, how employers treat trans+ staff, and how journalists and politicians talk about our families. It influences whether our children feel valued or targeted.

Today we are sharing the first of the 7 principles of our Transparent Pledge: Respect and dignity. Every person deserves to be recognised for who they are and to be treated with kindness. As parents, we see how transformative it is when our children are called by their correct names and pronouns.

This is what exclusion looks like - It is a door closing on a child who only wanted to take part like everyone else. Our children should have a place to belong. They should be able to join clubs, activities and community groups without barriers, fear or uncertainty.

🤍 We stand with every family affected by the Girlguiding policy change What happened to this young girl is not an abstract policy debate. It's a child who was excited to be part of Rainbows with her friends, tried her sessions, loved them, was ready to join. Now she's been told she doesn't belong.

🤍 We stand with this parent and every family who feels let down by the decision of Girlguiding to exclude trans members. This person has given years of their time, energy and leadership to Girlguiding.

Decisions like this have real consequences, and they fall hardest on the children who already face the most barriers. Many leaders and volunteers did not want this. They value inclusion and want every child to feel part of their community.

Parents with decades of experience in these organisations know that trans girls are not a danger, and excluding children who simply want to join their friends makes no sense. Children should never be told they are not welcome in the same activities their classmates enjoy.

🤍 We stand with the parents who are speaking out against the Girlguiding rollback on trans inclusion. Guiding and Scouting have always been places where children find friendship, confidence and belonging. That is why this decision feels so painful for so many families. #ProtectTransKids

Today’s announcement from Girlguiding to reverse their previous trans-inclusive policy will come as painful news for many families. We know GirlGuiding has worked for years to include trans girls and to offer them the same opportunities as their peers. #ForAllGirls

The article claimed that the BBC’s representation of trans people has “damaged” children. As parents of trans young people and adults, we felt it was important to offer another perspective from the ones they typically publish. Our children have not been harmed by seeing themselves represented.

✍️ Today, we submitted a letter to the Telegraph in response to their article ‘BBC’s pro-trans bias damaged our children’ on 19 November 2025. 🔗 You can read our full response letter here: tinyurl.com/TALetter1

📢 Transparent Action Statement on the New Puberty Blocker Trial As parents, our position is simple and reflects our pledge calling for proper healthcare; that everyone should have access to the care and support they need.

A message from parents who love trans people Today, we remember the trans people whose lives were taken far too soon. For those of us who are parents of trans children of all ages, this day carries a particular kind of weight...

Signing the Pledge is the simplest way to get involved and you can do so anonymously. By signing, you will add your voice to those of other supportive parents or trans+ children and adults.

Our mission is simple - to bring together the many parents who care deeply about trans+ people, and help them channel that love into effective action. The Transparent Pledge is the first step. It sets out 7 principles we believe every trans trans+ person should be able to count on.

📜 Today we are launching the Transparent Pledge. Please read and sign it here: 👉 tinyurl.com/TransparentAction Transparent Action is a group of parents who want to take action in support of their trans, non-binary and gender diverse loved ones and the wider trans+ community.

This is a new initiative for parents to use their voices so that all trans people have the same respect and inclusion as everyone else. This is just the beginning. Watch this space for what’s next. Follow us and share this post to keep in touch and help make change happen. Happy #TransParentDay 💕
