UCU members have voted overwhelmingly to stand with trans and non-binary people.
Delegates attending UCU's Congress voted for two motions that commit UCU to mobilise in defence of the trans community.
During the debate UCU delegates attacked the Tory government and right wing media for stoking a culture war that uses trans and non-binary people as a political football and commended the Scottish Parliament's passing of the Gender Recognition Reform Bill.
UCU general secretary Jo Grady said: 'Our members have once again made it clear that we are unequivocal in our commitment to trans and non-binary rights. I'm proud that across the trade union movement, UCU is one of the most vocal supporters of the trans and non-binary community.
