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]
