We’ve updated our “Maximising Trans Inclusion after the Supreme Court Judgement” guide. It now covers recent judgements on trans inclusion and new resources.

The guide is for organisations and professionals who want to understand the impact of the Supreme Court Judgment on gender (and any subsequent changes to statutory guidance or regulations) on trans inclusive practices, trans employees and service users, and how to ensure trans and non-binary people remain included.

10 Things LGBTQ+ Allies Should NOT Do

Being an ally isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being willing to listen, learn, and grow.

Here are some common missteps we see, and why they matter.

1. Don’t make it about you.
Allyship isn’t centered on your discomfort, your confusion, or your need to be praised for “trying.”

2. Don’t debate someone’s identity. LGBTQ+ lives are not thought experiments, political hypotheticals, or theological puzzles.

3. Don’t demand education from marginalized people.
Google is free. Learning is your responsibility, not theirs.

4. Don’t use “I’m just asking questions” to excuse harm.
Curiosity without care can still wound.

5. Don’t stay silent to keep the peace. Silence often protects harm — not people.

6. Don’t center your faith, politics, or comfort over someone’s safety. No belief system justifies dehumanization.

7. Don’t stop learning. Language evolves. Research grows. Lived experiences deepen. Good allies stay curious, humble, and open to learning more.

8. Don’t treat pronouns as optional or trivial. Respect is not negotiable.

9. Don’t disappear when things get hard. Allyship that only shows up when it’s easy isn’t allyship.

10. Don’t assume “love” without action is enough. Love shows up in protection, advocacy, and accountability. Love = action.

Allyship is a practice — not a label you earn once and keep forever.
When we know better, we do better. And when we mess up, we correct, repair and keep going.
