If there was ever a day to hug your child and tell them it’s ok to be gay, it’s today.
We’re disappointed with the decision regarding judicial review of the puberty blocker trial. We will make a further statement in due course.
A pleasure to speak at the @WDI_UK Conference in London today. And to bump into LGB Alliance Youth Ambassador @Alisonellis27 and LGB International Norwegian rep @TonjeGjevjon. We really are everywhere 😎
Just arrived at the Royal Courts of Justice.
The next 48 hours will determine the fate of the hundreds of children that the UK government wants to recruit to take puberty blockers.
We have a fantastic legal team and are ready to fight.
Thank you to everyone supporting us.
Sex at birth is now a mandatory data item in the NHS core information standard https://t.co/QHAaF87UWW
This is an important step forward for patient safety and care.
On what basis is the Cabinet Office requiring forced unnatural speech? No-one should have to refer to a man as a woman / tell a lie at work. This must be challenged @SpeechUnion
We surveyed lesbian, gay and bisexual people. 94% felt uncomfortable being categorised under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. 87% felt uncomfortable being categorised as 'queer'. Here's what they said - and what we're doing about it.
"As a lesbian I feel marginalised and like I don't belong in a community that used to be very important to me. I feel ostracised and isolated." "It feels like they jumped on our coattails but somehow managed to grab the steering wheel." These are verbatim responses from LGB people in our survey.
LGB stands for lesbian, gay and bisexual - people who are same-sex attracted. TQ+ covers gender identity, which is a distinct thing. Organisations that attempt to serve both often end up serving neither well - and in practice, tend to prioritise TQ+ constituents at the expense of LGB people.
In 2021, the government abandoned the aggregate term BAME following the Inclusive Britain report, which found it failed to reflect the differing needs of those it covered. LGB Alliance is calling for the same approach to LGBTQ+.
Don't Call Me Queer is LGB Alliance's campaign for same-sex attracted people to have specific representation that actually serves their needs. Read our report and take action: https://t.co/G4wWzyaUTI
Another excellent letter to add to the growing list. Nice work @FondOfBeetles, @MForstater and the team at @SexMattersOrg. And a reasonable set of depends to make reparations for the smearing of our organisations.
LGB Alliance have written to Amnesty UK about its bizarre report “A Growing Threat: The Anti-Rights Movement in the UK”.
We look forward to their prompt response.
The Tories are clear as a Party. Gender ideology harms. Reality & safeguarding for vulnerable children in school must be restored. New KCSIE guidance is much improved but there is still some way to go: 1/
I welcome today's clarity in the Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance that single-sex spaces must be single sex, & that school records must accurately record every child's sex. Recording children's sex accurately in school is a measure we introduced in Government.
Labour were wrong to open the door to children as young as 5 socially transitioning, & the inconsistency in this guidance makes that clear. Children cannot be kept safe if teachers are encouraged to socially transition them & set them on a pathway that can lead to irreversible harm.
We will continue to fight for common sense. Referring to young children in a way that does not reflect their biological sex is wrong.
@LGBTCons@KemiBadenoch@Conservatives 💯agree @LGBTCons. No other Party leader understands this issue as much as @KemiBadenoch & is prepared to work so hard with her team to bring it to an end. Looking forward to the vote to see which MPs think stunting the development of vulnerable children is a great idea.
‘Gender policing’ is jargon for knowing that a person is male or female. It should only ever be used by activists. Impartial journalists should never use this phrase.
Another day, another podcast, more men opining about ‘mercilessly targeting trans people’.
