Methodology

This analysis tracks only direct government actions taken by the Labour government since taking office in July 2024. External events such as Supreme Court rulings are noted for context but clearly distinguished from government policy decisions. Actions are categorized based on their direct impact on trans people's rights, healthcare access, and safety.

Data sources: Official government statements, NHS England announcements, parliamentary records, and verified news reporting. All claims are sourced and verifiable.

Assessment criteria: Actions are evaluated on whether they expand or restrict rights, improve or worsen access to services, and enhance or diminish legal protections for trans people.
