Brighton Trans Pride and Brighton Pride are big events. Really big. It makes you think all is well and going in the right direction. It isn't. While political parties are currently making things worse, often aligning with anti-LGBT organisations, workplaces can do much better. It's simply about creating cultures of mutual respect and dignity, where "being yourself at work" is never a thing to fear or even doubt. "Over a third of respondents (and over a half of trans employees specifically) reported disguising their LGBTQ identity at work due to fear of discrimination, and 18% of LGB , 26% of trans, and 37% of non-binary employees reported not being ‘out’ at work. Perhaps most concerningly, 12% of LGBTQ employees were encouraged by colleagues to hide their LGBTQ identity - this again, more than doubled for trans employees. "Three in five respondents agreed that their workplace had appropriate policies in place to protect LGBTQ employees, however fewer than half felt policies adequately protected trans employees. Further, 12% of LGB respondents shared that they wouldn’t feel comfortable reporting homophobic or biphobic bullying, rising to 20% for trans employees regarding transphobic bullying."
