Big up to the trans people belong in sport flag!

Blimey, we are 6 away from 300 signatures! Let's get it over the line! springconf2026.greenparty.org.uk/std/Opposing...

If you are green you might have to log in first and then clink the link to make it go. But please do if you are!

200! Apparently we are 18 more signatures away from being the most voted on emergency proposal for this conference.

We have heard this consultation may have had a strong transphobic response. It looks like they've tried to slip it through without trans input. It needs to be in by 02 APR, so almost time up. We haven't been able to put a guide for this one due to the short notice. www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ind...

I am the proposer of this motion, so no co-proposal from me, but I would like to just thank the hard working people who have worked on both the gender-based sports ban motion and this emergency motion. We're all hard grafters. We see opportunities to improve or clarify our positions and we take it.

Following the IOC sports ban. Members of the Green Party are looking to get an emergency motion to the conference to oppose it. But they need 50 signatures! If you are a member you can sign for it here: springconf2026.greenparty.org.uk/std/Opposing...

Shit, okay. Let's see if we can smash 200!

I've co-proposed this motion. The horrific history of gender testing should not be repeated. In 1999, the IOC stopped testing for SRY because of the negative impact on athletes, and the chance of false positives is very high. It's appalling that they are taking women’s sport back 27 years.

We're overwhelmed by the support on this motion, that opposes the recent decision by the IOC to introduce invasive and ineffective genetic tests on women athletes. If you're a member, do consider joining 140 other co-proposers (and counting). springconf2026.greenparty.org.uk/std/Opposing...

200, come on! We got this! 💪🏻💚🏳️‍⚧️

Signed. And proud of the fact that this party took less than 6 hours to write and table a motion to defend LGBT people. The Greens actually show up for LGBT rights!

Damn, okay let's go for 150!

We've reached over 50. But we need as many signatures as we can get. That way it increases the likelihood of it getting voted on! Let's try for 100!

50 already! Let's see how fsr we can get this motion!

Recently a UK trans healthcare Priority Setting exercise was conducted for trans healthcare for children & adults under 25(!) that DOES NOT have my trust & that I will not engage with. A completely separate exercise has now started that I have much more confidence in... 1/4

Doing some baking! Would help if I remembered to preheat the oven... But now we have experimental air fryer baking!

Gonna be a good one. I think we heard that someone described our episodes as "the news but hyperpop". This one is certainly hyper.

One frustrating thing I often find is that the fight against trans sports bans is that after any ban. There's a big reaction, but then work towards overturning those bans always gets put on the back burner every time. Fighting for trans sports is one of those things we abandon every time.

The argument on testosterone having an advantage is scientifically incorrect.

you know what! I'll submit a ticket whilst I'm in the middle of my holiday and not being reachable, so IT can't do anything whilst I'm away. And to put the icing on the cake. I'll miss out on the key details that they need! Ugh

From the LibDem conference agenda. I think LibDems might have their own definition of platforming. I would have more respect if they tried justifying hosting well known transphobes at their conference, instead of lying to our faces.

I think I forgot to promote this last week. Check out our latest podcast episode!

Well yesterday was surprisingly busy on this account. I don't think I'll post as frequently as that for a long while.

Absolute cowardice from Lib Dems, refusing to have banners up supporting transgender people in the event that anti-trans people will harass party members on social media. First of all, why is nothing done to curb this toxic online envious created by these transphobes?

From Instagram - today the Dyke Project shut down NHS England HQ to protest the politically motivated ban on trans youth healthcare.

If you or a trans person you know has been let down by a Lib Dem MP or other interaction with their party please reach out to me. northwestbylines.co.uk/news/equalit...

I know a lot of really well meaning people are still involved in the lib dems, but they've just repeatedly demonstrated that they can't be trusted- trans people are just the latest in a very long list of betrayals.

LVfW response is telling. They chose to go with the "Trans people went too far" argument coupled with "The UKSC decision says otherwise, ah well, nothing to be done." You're lawmakers. Make laws. You're adversarial with the courts, not their subordinates.

Thank you to @alyx.whatthetrans.com @bexsailingmermaid.bsky.social @northwestbylines.co.uk and the @bylinesnetwork.co.uk for working with me on this expose of the Lib Dems failure to support trans people. Please share! northwestbylines.co.uk/news/equalit...

Excellent work by @sophiemolly.co.uk, something we have become accustomed to lately. The LDs appear to have issues relating to transphobia, which they need to sort out. A decision about whose side they are on may be the place to start.

"Begrudging tolerance" - That so well sums it up

LD said the party accepts the Cass Review during the puberty blocker trial debate on Monday. It is simply unacceptable to me.

Already seeing some lib Dems coming out on the defensive and yet not addressing the abuse Bex received at conference. No sympathy there?...

Important thread. Appalling responses from various LibDem bodies to the treatment of this woman. And, the leadership's swithering stance on trans human rights is just awful.

"Bex (she/they), a trans woman who used to be a member of the Liberal Democrats, has spoken to North West Bylines about why she left the party. Here is her story, as she told it to me, in her own words." northwestbylines.co.uk/news/equalit...

So, I have now defected from the Lib Dems to the Green Party of England and Wales. This is the story of why:

An article with a lot to unpack. But you may have already read the article so I am going to frontload with my thoughts on the reactions from the lib dem groups. This is gonna be a longish thread. bsky.app/profile/soph...

I've also seen it! I've got a lot to say on it. Keep your eyes peeled!

Received a right of reply from the Lib Dems. They are not happy at being exposed. Stay tuned!

Saw some of the reports of people's gender markers or NHS numbers being forcibly being changed. From what I've seen. It looks like there hasn't been some sudden shift in NHS policy. From what information I have so far. It appears to be individuals acting against NHS policy.
