Image shows a copy of the Trans Lives report 2025. Text reads:  Trans people in the UK are being failed. Transphobia from politicians and in the media not only impacts trans people’s mental health, it also impacts the way others treat us – whether that’s our family members or strangers in the street. GPs and staff in the GP practice aren’t giving us the standard of care we need from them – training needs to be put in place urgently.

Lack of access to gender congruent ID makes us unsafe and gets in the way of going about our daily lives. Multiply marginalised trans people have worse experiences due to the intersections of transphobia with racism, ableism etc.

When a crime is considered an β€˜aggravated offence’, it means that it was committed under circumstances which increase the seriousness of the offence in the eyes of the courts, the victim has longer to access justice and the perpetrator will get a stronger sentence.
