Because I’m assuming that one or two do read this blog. 🙂

There are lots of things wrong with the current government, but one or two people involved do appear to be trying to do good while they are in office. In particular the Equalities Minister, Lynne Featherstone, is actually trying to do something about trans rights. For the first time ever the UK government is canvassing trans people for information about their problems and suggestions for action. There is, of course, no guarantee that anything will come of this, but it is a golden opportunity to register our views.

As with any government survey, it is important that as many people as possible respond, because the more people who respond the more votes the politicians will think are at stake. So if you identify as trans in any way, please take a look here (PDF, goodness knows why) and consider filling in the survey. You do not have to identify yourself.

And if you know any UK trans people who do not read this blog, please let them know about this.
