Press Release from the
Scottish Transgender Alliance & Gender Spectrum UK
Tuesday 12th May 2009
The Scottish Transgender Alliance www.scottishtrans.org
& Gender Spectrum UK www.gsuk.org wish to announce the launch of an on-line
survey for the Gender Variant community with regards to issues that have come to light through the
publication of the Equality Bill.
This is an important Bill and introduces some positive lines of protection for everyone.
Whilst the Bill itself covers several different strands, we wish to specifically concern
ourselves with the issues that affect the Gender Variant community.
The survey will be anonymous and should take around 10 minutes to complete.
The results will be published on the websites of both the Scottish Transgender Alliance
and Gender Spectrum UK.
The closing date for this survey is Saturday 23rd May.
We would truly appreciate YOUR views on the priority issues within the Equality Bill.
The survey can be found at:
