I've said this a thousand times before and I'll say it again: If you are not trans, you do not have any say in what constitutes transphobia. If you are told something is transphobic by a trans person, you listen to them.

If you're on the side of JK Rowling, KJK/Posie Parker, Glinner and every politician that backs them up, this is on you. Transphobia is a poison that needs to be stopped. Rest in Power, Brianna.

You know nothing about what's going on in Leeds right now. You've been busy spending your time in recent days paying lip service to a certain former President of the USA across the Atlantic, and it's MASSIVELY dangerous of you to inflame a situation you know nothing about.

A gentle reminder that saying "solidarity with the trans community" in response to this post is meaningless. Actions speak louder than words, which begs the question - why has no action *whatsoever* been taken against transphobic rhetoric & dog whistles from sitting Labour MPs?

This is utterly heinous. There are 60+ countries where it's illegal to be LGBTQ+, and in some it's punishable by death. That's reason enough, surely? Still - it's no surprise this comes from the party of Section 28.

A Tory speaks. Never mind Palestine's LGBT views, yours is the party of Section 28. Your leader called gay men 'tank topped bum boys'. Your second-last-leader was a homophobe (I'll have no lectures on how much of an 'ally' May was). Most of your MPs voted against gay marriage.

FYI @TheGreenParty - I'm sure I speak for the LGBTIQA+ Greens committee when I say we'd very much appreciate it if statements being made in relation to LGBTIQA+ people are at least run by us, if not in consultation with us. This would help avoid the need to delete & retract. Ta.

Let's make sure this issue keeps being shared and spoken about. We need to #SaveOurTicketOffices #SaveTicketOffices . The closures will not just be an injury to one individual community, they will be an injury to all of us. @RMTunion

At Leeds Civic Centre this evening - fantastic speakers from @RMTunion have shared that government claims of only 12% ticket sales from ticket offices are lies (shocker!). In some cases they're 70% of all sales. These are such vital services, we need to #SaveOurTicketOffices !

Trans kids deserve to have access to gender affirming healthcare that will help them comfortably transition into trans adults. My love and solidarity to all those affected. We will all continue to fight for trans rights and access to potentially life saving resources!

@AnnelieseDodds Anneliese, reforms to the GRA do not conflict with the EA. Trans rights and women's rights are not zero-sum. Why is Labour peddling this "both sides" argument when transphobia is endemic within it?

It's awful to see a transphobic pile-on happening to this tweet. Clearly, queerphobia takes on many forms and it's important to educate ourselves about disarming dogwhistles. Please do give the guidance a share & call out queerphobia where you see it!

Takes like this miss the point and invariably water down what's happened to a "free speech" argument. This is not someone's free speech being impeded. This is a queer venue saying "no thanks" to someone who has made vitriolic, transphobic remarks performing in their own space.

I disagree with trans critic #GrahamLineham but do not support him being cancelled at #Edinburgh It looks like discrimination based on belief, which is unlawful under #EqualityAct Best response to #Lineham is counter arguments & evidence, not by bans

Labour supporters - where is your red line for this? Seriously? It's sickening how many people will decry trans people as "Tory enablers!" just because we're not going to vote for Starmer or his transphobic party.

A motion that would've banned the promotion of social transition to trans kids fell by just six votes. Six. This is why we need cis allies on our side, fighting our corner, and it's why we need more MPs to be vocally supportive of us.

Maybe instead of their MPs lip-syncing (which is incredibly cringy), why don't they... โœ… Stop the GRA from harming trans people โœ… Get a leader who didn't call gay men "tank-topped bum boys" โœ… Remember most of their MPs voted against gay marriage Just a thought ๐Ÿค”

It's not a "complex issue". Conversion therapy is damaging for anyone who has to go through it. It is not 'therapy' at all, and it should be banned in its entirety. No loopholes, no ifs, no buts... ๐Ÿšซ #BanConversionTherapy ๐Ÿšซ

Govt had a manifesto pledge to ban 'conversion therapy'. 4 years later, why haven't they? In 1st line of this answer to my Q, Minister straightforwardly admits practice is abhorrent. In 2nd line he pivots, says it's 'very complex' & prevaricates. This ban must be in #KingsSpeech

It's clear that Labour offer no real difference to the Tories. Free Speech is an important value, and it's being eroded bit by bit to silence dissent. I feel for those who voted three days ago that will now be feeling betrayed & led on that Labour were ever progressive.

Well, it's trending again - so for the avoidance of any doubt.. #TransWomenAreWomen , just as #TransMenAreMen and non binary is real & valid. We need to #ProtectTransYouth , so trans kids can become trans adults. And cis allies need to keep actively listening to trans voices.
