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.

DUSA Exec

We are heartbroken by the tragic death of Dr Fortune Gomo, a graduate of our university who made her home here in Dundee. We stand with Dr Gomo’s family during this unimaginable loss. Fortune, you will not be forgotten.
