So proud of where the LGBTIQA+ Greens are as a grouping within the Green Party, especially this year as it becomes obvious that we are a party in England and Wales committed to queer liberation.

Snow isn't going to stop me from observing the @gatesheadcouncil.bsky.social Full Council meeting today at the Civic Centre! A great example of how I am working hard all year round for the people of Gateshead.

It annoys me to no end that there is no toilet provision within Gateshead Interchange. Bus drivers need to have a place to go, but even for me as a passenger when I needed to pee a lot early on HRT... The lack of toilet provision felt like it restricted the amount I could rely on public transit.

“I leave the Labour party with sadness but without regret because it is not us who left Labour, it is Labour that left us.” 🥀 @averygreatorex.bsky.social on her reasons for leaving the Labour Party and @prideinlabour.bsky.social and joining the @greenparty.org.uk. ​​🏳️‍⚧️ 💚

Zack for PM, anyone? join.greenparty.org.uk

Gateshead Greens are growing - rapidly! It’s never been a better time to get involved in your local community, and your local Green Party. As we gear up to the local council elections in May 2026, we’re so excited to have so many more friendly faces on the team!

I, regrettably, once did work for a gambling company. Even though I worked as a developer, I still saw the awful effects it had on people and their finances, even though the company I worked for claimed to be one of the better ones. They must be taxed higher. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

BBC News is not fit for purpose. It hasn't been for a while, but here's hoping that this is a final straw (it won't be).

Active transport is for everyone regardless of who you are. It angers us so much as green activists that promoting active travel should *only* earn you an award if you identify with your gender assigned at birth. Trans women are women, and @cyclinguk.bsky.social needs to do better.

"Lessons for progressives" of which Wesley, as much as he wishes he was, is not. None of the current cabal of Labour government ministers are.

Zohran Mamdani in New York Catherine Connolly in Ireland Rob Jetten in the Netherlands Plaid Cymru in Caerphilly The rise of the far right is not inevitable. If we work together, we can dare to hope.

Mamdani's win gives me hope for a better America. It gives me hope that the future there isn't so bleak. It gives me hope that I can visit my friends in their country and not in some other state like Canada, for my own safety.

These decisions by ICB Sussex are incredibly cruel, and driven by dangerous rhetoric around trans people, and a national culture war. Trans kids deserve better.

Was out today listening to the concerns and issues affecting residents in Gateshead today with my fellow @gatesheadgreens.bsky.social colleagues!

A class act from the @lgbtiqagreens.bsky.social committee. Hate is the same, regardless of what colour or what type of hate it is, and we should always stand hand-in-hand with fellow marginalised groups.

Many thanks for speaking up about this Mothin. It's really important that we all understand our common enemy here... transphobes, islamophobes... they all wear the same stripes. I'd drop the part about "legitimate concerns" given how weaponised that is against trans folk, but otherwise full marks.

Journalists will literally say anything for their billionaire owners. They'll find literally any reason to have their readers reconsider going to Join.greenparty.org.uk

Today is intersex Awareness Day. There are many reasons why this day is necessary; as the rhetoric against trans people often doesn't factor in intersex people, and all the while, it also directly harms and vilifies them.

Those who support Your Party will say that the Greens still have not sufficiently dealt with transphobia because we have elected representatives that are transphobes. I say to that, that you have Adnan Hussain; and let's not pretend that transphobia is a popular opinion within the Green Party.

Makes you absolutely mad doesn't it. Transphobia isn't a red line for these ghouls. They'd rather Starmer be out to save their careers than any other reason. They have zero principles, or they'd have left Labour.

Henceforth Piers Morgan shall be known as Penis Moan-groan, since that's what he seems to like doing so much.

I find it wild how much work I am now doing with socials for the LGBTIQA+ Greens, and like, not even in a bad way. It's fun to be surrounded with people who have good ideas in the @transgreens.bsky.social and it's great to see local parties engage with the account too!

can job listings be serious please

LGBTIQA+ Greens have hit 3,000 members! We are so excited to announce this, having grown by about 1,000 members in the last month alone. We have plenty of ways you can get involved within the LGBTIQA+ Greens and we will be sending out information about this shortly!

Slightly unhinged 3am skeet but I feel like I have really managed to get some cool stuff done this evening. 💪 Shame about my sleep schedule. Oh well. Working hard for Gateshead, and really hypefocusing on the task at hand! Oops. 😅

Litter: picked 🚮. We went out yesterday and picked litter near the Australia flats in Bridges yesterday. 💚 @gatesheadgreens.bsky.social

I doubt that busses didn't serve where you were going. Be honest: was it the walking? Did you not plan ahead? Are you too good for busses? Public transit should be better, to convince people out of their metal boxes. I don't see cars in London as a "gotcha", more a "missed opportunity".

Welcoming our Young Green regional neighbours to Bluesky! They're rebooting their regional Young Greens, and we wish them every success with that! If you're in the North West or interested in what they're getting up to over there, go follow them: @nwyounggreens.bsky.social

Massive kudos to my GP surgery yesterday who, after I accidentally missed my appointment for my flu vaccine, managed to squeeze me in 30 minutes later. The NHS is truly a postcode lottery and I hate that but can appreciate it when I am winning.

The Greens motion on B&H Council divesting from Israel PASSED!!!!!!!! This is monumental on a local government, country, and potentially world stage and paves how governments and councils need to act NOW

Conversion therapy is a lie because the name implies that it works, but every survivor of conversion therapy I know never stopped being what they were sent to conversion therapy to try and stop being. You can plaster over the crack in the dam wall, but that dam is eventually going to burst.

Our very own @melissa.green talks about her coming out experience. Once again, it's further proof that oftentimes trans kids don't "just grow out of it". We've asked our members to talk about their experiences of coming out on #NationalComingOutDay. This concludes our stories!

These stories we have posted today are all fantastic and I love them all - I think this one hammers quite close to me. It's important for kids to feel listened to and respected. The damage and hurt that comes from not believing trans kids is incalculable. For everyone involved.

It was great to see the turnout of green members in Gateshead this morning for our Green Tea! @gatesheadgreens.bsky.social

What people like Piers never understands that anything can be millions of pounds worth of damage if you claim it is. In fact the justice system here and across the pond is sufficiently messed up that victims can routinely exaggerate damage claims, especially if backed by "evidence".

YES ZACK! Finally a politician that answers the question and takes no shit. SO PROUD OF @greenparty.org.uk under @zackpolanski.bsky.social. 🤩 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💚

"Paint washes off, blood never does." This goes so hard. Transphobia in this country is all too normalised. We must stop it from being so normalised. Hate should never be "normal".

"Christians, Muslims, Jews, migrants and people from a global majority background face the threat of violence or harassment as they simply go about their lives each day. This is unacceptable for the UK in the 21st century." @carladenyer.bsky.social on the increase in reported hate crimes.

It's International #LesbianDay (8th October) and we hope that if you're a lesbian you're having a great day. Trans lesbians are lesbians. No amount of shouting about that from anyone can change that.

Ugh, feel I am coming down with something. Hope it's not the Conference catching up with me. 😭 We stan germs. 🦠

This is the problem. Reforming trans healthcare is the solution. Greens know how. Join the Green Party @ join.greenparty.org.uk and vote Green for Trans Rights ​​💚

I continue to tap the sign that if wait lists were this bad for literally anything else it would be a national scandal.

The @transgreens.bsky.social and ourselves have revamped our Teemill website where the #ElectTheDolls t-shirts that we had at conference are now on sale. Do check it out: lgbtiqagreens.teemill.com

The Green Party UNANIMOUSLY approves the C03 Reforming Trans Healthcare motion. I'm quite emotional. Not a single vote against in the room.

I am alarmed and upset by this emerging news of attacks at a synagogue on Yom Kippur. The rise in religious hate crimes in this country is totally unacceptable - there is no excuse for antisemitism and no excuse for violence. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx...

The Green Party proving once again that it will always stand with the trans community 🏳️‍⚧️ Political parties are not obliged to provide a platform to any organisation, regardless of their demands. This was the right decision.

I'll always defend politicians who just happen to be trans, regardless of their political colours or affiliation, when they are attacked by the media. An attack on one is an attack on all. The hate directed at @chrisn.xyz by the media is disgusting.

There is no LGBTIQA+ without the B, and today we celebrate bisexuality on this Celebrate Bisexuality Day. We must take a stand against biphobia in all forms.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.
