We ask you to support our trans community against the increasingly hostile and abusive environment trans people face from an increasingly vocal minority of activists. In light of the Stonewall report https://t.co/lQkKzEzepz

Non-binary identities have always been part of humanity. We work for a future in which non-binary people are fully included and valued in all parts of society #InternationalNonBinaryDay #NonBinaryDay #NonBinary

3/3 We will continue to work with Welsh Govt., Trans community groups and Stonewall Cymru on the Transgender Action Plan for Wales

1/3 Welsh govt. very clear in its statement today: “We believe trans women are women, trans men are men and non-binary identities are valid. We restate our support for trans people’s right to self-identification”

[Wales Equality Alliance @Wales4Equality]

2/3 Welsh govt. says UK govt. has “failed in its commitment” to formally respond to #GRA consultation and condemns causing “significant distress and anxiety” among #Trans people in Wales

It's Lesbian Visibility Day! 🌈 To all the lesbians in our wonderful community, we send love and light today and every day!

@llioelgar @QueerWelsh The Gender Recognition Act specifically covers the legal process by which a Trans person has their gender changed on their birth certificate with associated legal protections. This is not devolved so is UK wide. Thankfully we now have a Welsh Gender Service. This is devolved

[Wales Equality Alliance @Wales4Equality]

While we are focused on surviving and helping others through the Covid-19 crisis, Liz Truss plans to release the UK govt. response to the #GRA consultation. The timing and the gender-critical language used by Truss are deeply concerning

Important update from the Welsh Gender Service concerning referrals

[Shelter Cymru @ShelterCymru]

Congratulations to our friends @Shelter, who like us, have long campaigned to #EndSection21 or 'no-fault' evictions.

We hope that @WelshGovernment and @wgmin_housing review proposals to ensure tenants in Wales have equal protection. Welsh renters need stability.

This thread shows how anti Trans sentiment has spread in Labour making the party unsafe for Trans people. The narrative says that not enough Trans people are murdered despite the tiny size of the minority. It's also OK to mis-gender Trans women and treat them as violent criminals

[Wales Equality Alliance @Wales4Equality]

Very disappointing to see so much premium column space given up to Ruth Serwotka venting her bigotry and condemning the stance of Labour's Dawn Butler on advancing *Trans rights

[Wales Equality Alliance @Wales4Equality]

No doubt the intention of releasing the WPUK transphobic rant on White Ribbon day was to smear Trans women as perpetrators of male violence. The truth is the thousands of Trans people murdered in recent years were also victims of misogynistic violence

[Wales Equality Alliance @Wales4Equality]

#TDoR2019 vigil outside the Senedd today. Remembering the hundreds of *Trans people violently killed this year. Hate kills. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

[Wales Equality Alliance @Wales4Equality]

Transgender Day of Remembrance 2019. Senedd, Cardiff Bay. All day vigil begins at 7am. Speakers and performers from 5:30pm. Come and support the Trans community and remember the thousands of Trans and Non-Binary people killed in recent years due to hate and intolerance

[Wales Equality Alliance @Wales4Equality]

Yesterday, Women's Place UK came to Newport. They described @Mermaids_Gender who support Trans kids and their parents as a "child abuse cult". Panelists and supporters harassed Katie because she is Trans. Katie writes about the dangers of WPUK hate https://t.co/5V5b4ZTcRy

6/6 We will continue to engage with @CV_UHB , @WelshGovernment and third sector organisations to ensure that future generations of Trans people in Wales have a safe and accessible service that is fully fit for purpose

[Wales Equality Alliance @Wales4Equality]

1/6 It's been a long haul over the last three years, but we now finally have Trans patients being seen at the new Welsh Gender Service clinic. The first patients will be seen today in Cardiff. We presented a gift of the Wales Equality Alliance flag to the service team yesterday

[Wales Equality Alliance @Wales4Equality]

5/6 We thank @wgmin_health, Health and Social Care minister, for listening to us and setting up the community engagement process which has been valuable in addressing safety and governance concerns. We commend the hard work of those involved in setting up the new service
