Labour for Trans Rights (LfTR), previously known as the Labour Campaign for Trans Rights (LCTR), is a British pressure group within the Labour Party, founded in February 2020.[1][2]
During a leadership election that month, the group issued a 12-point programme which called for the expulsion of Labour members who belong to what they described as hate groups, or which expressed what they said were bigoted, transphobic views.[3] Two of the groups they described as hate groups were Woman's Place UK and the LGB Alliance, which have been described by the LCTR as "trans-exclusionist".[4] This was criticised by Mark Serwotka, General Secretary of the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS),[5] and led to the #expelme tag among some Labour members.[6]
The pledge was supported by candidates Rebecca Long-Bailey and Lisa Nandy, but not by Keir Starmer, who later became leader of the party. Starmer endorsed a "less contentious 10-point pledge" from LGBT+ Labour.[4]
In 2022, the group dissolved into what is now known as Labour for Trans Rights. Since then, they have spoken out against senior Labour figures and their support for the Cass review.[7][8]
