Worrying that a party that claims to be supportive of trans and non-binary people creates an unnecessary rule for elections that directly harms trans people. We are seeing a rollback on human rights that starts with trans people and refugees and ends with everyone. Reform are not the only threat.
Nov 2025 -- UK Liberal Dem's LGBT+ and Young Liberals caucuses outraged over new party rules allotting seats in party elections by biological sex under new Supreme Ct ruling. At least 5 trans candidates affected. Even the women's group Lib Dem Women expressed concern.

Kacey will bring much needed accountability and a voice for equity and equality as Deputy General Secretary. If we truly want a progressive union that fights for everyone without favourites or favour, we need everyone to vote for Kacey for DGS.

The arguments of transphobes: I just don't like em

So, the @goodlawproject.bsky.social will have their case heard in November and the EHRC is already saying that it isn’t really happening. The RSHE 26 guidance hits schools in July and the PSHE Association say what a good thing it is without recognising that it is Section 28v2.

This year’s pride must be a protest.
‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.

This pride, we riot.

Without new money from the government, thousands of schools will be forced to make cuts as costs rise. This isn't good enough.

Take action now👉 https://buff.ly/4h1fD5s

Big love to US TNB siblings right now. It’s hard being trans or nonbinary in the UK but this is just terrifying.

Could someone please stop the world turning? I want to get off.

Rather than deal with issues affecting schools and pupils every day, Labour has reached for a response straight from the Conservatives' playbook. There is still time to do the right thing. If they truly wanted to 'put pupils' interests first', they would invest in our schools.

New year, new government, schools still burdened with the same old problems...

Our message to the government is clear: do the right thing. Schools can't make more 'efficiencies'. Fully fund fair pay now.

If nothing changes, our indicative ballot opens on 1 March.
