A History worth remembering: Trans inclusive feminism

As NION Women’s letter in support of the trans community continues to gather pace we look at how far we have come as we approach the anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling on the legal definition of man and woman in the Equality Act, and how that has impacted the trans community.

With over 90,000 signatures and counting, we share simple ways to keep the momentum going, from spreading the word and using our resources to supporting trans+ communities directly and joining us at upcoming events. Every action, big or small, helps build a more inclusive future.

As the forces that seek to restrict our rights gain strength, we reflect on the fact that we are stronger together. This International Women’s Day we celebrate ALL women.

A history of trans inclusive feminism which takes us from a recording studio in 1970s Los Angeles to a drama on the BBC last autumn.

In February, some of the NION Women collective wrote letters of love, solidarity, and support to the trans+ community. Now we’re inviting others to share their own messages.

The results are in, and they’re clear: 86% of respondents to the City of London consultation want Hampstead ponds to remain trans inclusive. 

NION Women respond to the Grok AI abuse on X, showing how non-consensual sexual exploitation of women and children is being ignored while trans people continue to be scapegoated in the name of “women’s safety”.

We explain why trans women and girls are being excluded from Girlguiding, the Women’s Institute, and the Labour Women’s Conference, amongst other spaces, following the FWS Supreme Court ruling, why this is not legally inevitable, and how women can challenge this blanket trans exclusion.

We are deeply concerned by the Labour Party’s decision to exclude trans women from its Women’s Conference. One of our members explains why shutting trans women out weakens women’s voices, limits democratic participation, and causes real harm.

We are deeply saddened that both Girlguiding and the Women’s Institute have been put in a position that has resulted in trans women and girls being excluded from their organisations.

Retailers are making choices that shape who feels welcome. As Black Friday begins, NION Women encourages brands to adopt trans inclusive retail practices that build trust, protect customers, and show where they truly stand on equality.

A campaign group is attempting to overturn the democratic decision of *the women who use Kenwood Ladies Pond. The City of London consultation closes November 25th. It’s vital that supportive voices are heard.

Nearly 60,000 women have already signed our letter standing in solidarity with the trans+ community. Will you join us in reaching 100,000 by Christmas?
