ALT We are hugely disappointed by the transphobic language and policy points included in Scottish Labour’s manifesto released this week. As representatives of the LGBT+ community, trade unionists, and party members from across the labour movement, we condemn the Scottish Labour leadership's concession to reactionary, trans-exclusionary rhetoric, which stands in contrast to the views of Labour members and votes at Scottish Labour's Conference in 2025. These decisions constitute a severe error of judgment and failure to listen to trans voices within our party.

ALT Labour is, and must remain, the party of equality. It was Labour governments which delivered the transformational Gender Recognition Act and Equality Act. In 2024, the Labour Party won a historic majority on a manifesto that pledged to remove indignities for trans people. In Scotland, Labour supported the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill through the Scottish Parliament before the Conservatives blocked it in Westminster in 2023. Scottish Labour's 2025 Conference rejected policy motions that would promote anti-trans segregation in education.

ALT In line with this, we call for all manifesto commitments that would undermine trans people in Scotland's equal treatment to be urgently rescinded, for Labour's leadership in Scotland to commit to protecting the interests of all trans people in Scotland, and for the Labour leaderships in Holyrood and Westminster to commit to work with trans members and LGBT+ groups to repair the trust between the Labour Party and the trans community.
