The Scottish Government has been clear since the Supreme Court ruling that it accepts the judgment. As such, it is taking forward the actions required in response to the ruling.Trans and non-binary people are a small, marginalised group of 0.44% of Scotland’s population, who are often misunderstood, misrepresented, and receive disproportionate levels of attention. The Scottish Government remains steadfast in its commitment to advancing equality, protecting rights and ensuring that trans and non-binary people can live free from discrimination.Since the judgment, we have strengthened our direct support for the trans community. This includes additional investment to expand the LGBT Health and Wellbeing Helpline and to increase opportunities for trans people to connect through community virtual and in-person events. Any trans or non-binary person feeling concerned or anxious about the ruling is encouraged to contact the helpline.The Scottish Government has provided £1.1 million in funding through our Equality and Human Rights Fund in 2025-26 to a range of organisations to promote equality of opportunity and inclusion for LGBTQI+ people. This funding has been used to:help LGBT Youth Scotland deliver a range of projects to support LGBTQI+ young peoplecommence initiatives such as work supporting ending conversion practices through legislative and non-legislative measuresadvance non-binary equalitysupport policy development for LGBTQI+ peoplesupport research into the lives of the LGBTQI+ community
