Call to Take Action Against Transphobic Gyms

04/10/2025

The Good Law Project, a progressive legal organisation which pursues cases allied to forward thinking politics, has issued a call for supporters and ordinary members of the LGBTQIA+ communities to come together to hold Virgin Gyms to account.  They explain "Virgin Active was created as an inclusive gym where everyone was welcome. Now, after a legal threat from pompous ass GB News presenter Michelle Dewberry, they’ve turned their back on trans people and enacted a changing room and bathroom ban.  Virgin says it’s because they’re following the law. But they’re not following the law, they’re just following transphobes. They’re falling into line behind Michelle Dewberry and Sex Matters. Will you take action and email Virgin Active?  It doesn’t matter what Sex Matters says: the Supreme Court judgment doesn’t force businesses to rip up their policies. The law hasn’t changed. The Equality and Human Rights Commission guidance is just that: guidance.  We need to show Virgin Active just how big our movement is. The more pressure we put on them, the harder it’ll be for them to ignore us and uphold their transphobic changing room and bathroom ban. It only takes five minutes".   If you would like to participate in the campaign, visit https://action.goodlawproject.org/virgin-active-stop-following-transphob...
