🏳‍⚧ 100,000 people marched at London Trans+ Pride yesterday - but the BBC, Times, Telegraph & Daily Mail ignored it completely.

These outlets publish dozens of anti-trans stories a week. But when trans people show joy, pride, and solidarity?

🦗 Silence.

Just concluded my keynote at Pride In London's Human Rights Forum.

I have announced today publicly that I now see it as my sad duty to make an evidence based report to Genocide Watch and The Lemkin Institute requesting investigation into the systematic oppression of the trans community of the UK.

I know there are many trans and non-binary people who will be feeling deeply worried today, caught in the midst of a media storm as they try to simply live their lives. Please know that I stand with you - today, tomorrow and always.

My statement in response to the Supreme Court ruling today:
"I know there are many trans and non-binary people who will be feeling deeply worried today, caught in the midst of a media storm as they try to simply live their lives. To those people, I say: please know that I stand with you - today, tomorrow and always. The Green Party continues to support a policy of self-ID to allow trans people to live full lives free from harassment in the gender they know themselves to be. The judge emphasised in his speech that trans people are still protected under the law, but it is for government to now demonstrate how this will be achieved. I will work closely with human rights and LGBTIQA+ groups to understand the consequences of this ruling, and will not hesitate to press for changes in legislation if it is needed to protect the human rights of all.” - Carla Denyer MP, Green Party Co-leader - MP Bristol Central

BREAKING:
A Statement calling for Wes Streeting to Resign. Signed by:

Rainbow Greens

LGBTQIA+ Greens

LGBT+ Liberal Democrats

Out For Independence

Citing recent comments by Wes Streeting on the Bayswater group.
We are disappointed, but unfortunately not surprised, to hear that Wes Streeting has met with and sympathised with the Bayswater Group as well as a number of other groups advocating for anti-LGBTQIA+ conversion practices. We are disturbed by the fact that Wes Streeting and the UK Labour government have no intention of working positively or in good faith with any LGBTQIA+ groups; instead they choose to do the opposite. It has been shown numerous times how the Bayswater Group have caused harm. As we have previously seen, via their work with Miriam Cates and the Conservative Government, they have worked to block any Conversion Practices ban. It has been reported that trans young people met with Streeting, begging and pleading for there not to be a ban on puberty blockers but Streeting's actions have since proven his sympathies are with those seeking to cause us harm. Whilst the UK Labour Government continues to work with these anti-trans hate groups, we have no faith that there will be a UK-wide trans-inclusive Conversion Practices Ban. This follows on from Wes Streeting's work continuing the Conservatives' ban on puberty blockers, as well as his continued push to implement the fatally flawed Cass Review: a review which is also heavily influenced by groups advocating for conversion practices against queer people, and has been shown to ignore young trans people's voices. Clearly, these are actions which both Cass and Streeting have in common. Therefore, we call on Wes Streeting to resign immediately as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.
