Extract from Stonewall's Website

At Stonewall we're determined to do more to support trans communities (including those who identify as LGB) to help eradicate prejudice and achieve equality. There are lots of different views about the role Stonewall should play in achieving that. We're holding roundtable meetings and having lots of conversations. Throughout this process we will be guided by trans people.

On Saturday 30 August we will be meeting with a group of campaigners from trans communities to listen to their views on how Stonewall can support the trans movement.

This meeting is a chance to hear directly from some people involved in the trans movement but it’s just one of many conversations we’re having to inform our future work. We’ve been listening to lots of people from trans communities individually and we want to carry on doing this over coming months. We’re also determined to make sure that we hear the voices of minorities within the trans movement and we’re very open to people’s views on the best way we can do this.
