In a recent speech at the PinkNews Summer Parliamentary reception on July 18, the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn MP, said that he will support the Conservative Party to improve transgender rights in the UK. As a Labour Parliamentary Candidate and a trans woman I fully support him in his cross-party approach to reforming the Gender Recognition Act.

As I stood on stage, a room full of expectant people looking up at me I was totally focused on the next words that I would hear. “Sophie Rose Cook, Labour Party, 20,882.” In the space of five short weeks we’d achieved the seemingly impossible, taking a previously safe Tory seat and making it a marginal, increasing the Labour vote by 114% with one of the biggest swings in the country at 19.8%.
Why the time is right for me to stand for parliament by Sophie Cook.

“It’s time for transgender people to come out of the shadows”…says broadcaster Sophie Cook. Over the past few years transgender visibility has improved greatly with a number of trans people becoming very public through the media including Brighton based broadcaster and news anchor Sophie Cook who was even featuring on Match of the Day’s Premier League football show recently.

I was deeply disappointed to see the recent National Union of Students transgender conference (March 7) vote to try to block police from attending Pride events. The motion ‘No Pride in the Police’ expressed the view that the police were racist, classist and transphobic and said that “many trans people have faced mistreatment and violence at the hands of the police.”
