DUSA Exec statement on Supreme Court ruling and support for trans students

We are disappointed by the Supreme Court’s ruling that “the terms woman and sex in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex.”

We stand in solidarity with our trans community at Dundee. Your identity is valid, and we remain committed to ensuring your safety and your right to self-identify. Our campus is and always will be a safe and welcoming space for trans people

A rally will take place tomorrow in the City Centre at 12:45. We would encourage everyone whether you’re trans or an ally to attend and stand with our trans community.

If you are struggling with this news, please know you are not alone.
We have attached some resources below and you can always reach out to us at  exec@dusa.co.uk for support.

With love and solidarity,
DUSA Exec
