It is incredibly disheartening to see such a diverse and historic Labour cabinet be let down by @wesstreeting 's quite frankly insane attempts to undermine the health service and the trans community by committing to a puberty blocker ban for under 18s.

The @LGBTLabour account is no longer available on Twitter. This is worrying, regardless of the reason for this and my personal opinions about the organisation, LGBTQ+ people within the Labour Party have lost their biggest voice on this platform.

Labour's manifesto promised to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition & acceptance". That entails ending the Tories' ban on puberty blockers. Young people – cis & trans – must have access to healthcare they need. I'll always stand with the trans community.

I don't say this very often but full credit to Keir Starmer in these times. Not many Prime Ministers face this kind of disorder a month into the job, he has certainly been a visible and audible face during these riots. He has been careful and controlled, that's what we need.

It is a disgrace that Labour could ever allow an MP to speak at the LGB Alliance Conference. The LGB Alliance is a transphobic and trans-exclusive organisation. Rosie Duffield calls our party "an absolute embarrassment." The main embarrassment in our party is Duffield.

The Cass review is fundamentally flawed. Puberty blockers have been used safely on children regardless of if they're trans or cis for 40 years now. More Labour lies creating hatred towards a marginalised community after saying they won't play into culture war politics.

I can't believe people are somehow trying to justify the "No LGB without the T" motto often used in transgender protests as an exclusionary or hateful thing to do. The term LGBT has been in use since the 1990s. How does LGB belong with the T? Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera
