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.
The Green Party logo - world with petals, with a white world, and the petals the colour of the lesbian flag. Underneath, it reads: Happy International Lesbian Day from the LGBTIQA+ Greens. Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Green Party Conference recently passed some amazing healthcare policy for the trans community. It commits us to an informed consent model of trans healthcare, a trans-led public inquiry into NHS care, a trans-inclusive ban on conversion therapy, and so much more.
The Green Party just voted to reform trans healthcare. What does this bold new policy look like? Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ What we're calling for: - The end of segregation in trans healthcare. - Ending the torture of conversion therapy. - Moving the NHS to an informed consent model. - Expanding the range of funded transition care. - Access to affirming healthcare for trans youth. - NHS support for people who seld-medicate or use private care. - Real support for detransitioning people. Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ How we get there: - Closing the existing Gender Identity Clinics and supporting GPs with training and funding to care for trans people. - Lifting the politically motivated ban on 'puberty blockers'. - Starting a government funded, trans-led, inquiry into past NHS treatment of trans people. - Including & prioritising trans expertise in independent care reviews. - Passing a trans-inclusive ban on 'conversion therapy'. Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ We don't have to accept the status quo. Trans greens logo in the middle with the text "Trans Greens" with "Greens for Trans Liberation" underneath. Why not read the full policy? Link in the next post.

An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.

A brief statement in solidarity with Liberal Democrat councillor Chris Northwood @chrisn.xyz
LGBTIQA+ Greens Logo, with a statement below that reads: Our Green Party colleagues who have worked with Chris Northwood in various capacities have nothing but good things to say about her. So we are very glad to hear that the Liberal Democrats acknowledged her with their Patsy Calton Award. We are disgusted by the Express article attacking Chris and the Liberal Democrats. The news media are once again choosing to attack a woman for winning an award, due to her being trans. Painting a target on her back to further their culture war on our community. We are happy to see that the Liberal Democrats are standing by Chris and their decision to give her this award. We want to see all political parties refuse to bow down to the hate campaigns attacking individual trans people and our community. We stand in solidarity with Chris Northwood and urge everyone to do the same. Your LGBTIQA+ Greens committee Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

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.
A Green Party logo, with bisexual petal colours. A statement that reads: Happy Celebrate Bisexuality Day. Every year on the 23rd September, we mark Celebrate Bisexuality Day with the amazing people within our communities who are bisexual. Days like this serve as a reminder that we must keep fighting against biphobia: socially and institutionally. This especially comes as the UK has seen a rise in rhetoric from the political far-right against queer identities, and where the United Kingdom has slipped dramatically in the ILGA Europe rankings for LGBTIQA+ rights. An attack on one, is an attack on all. Whether you are closeted, questioning, or loud and proud: we see you, we hear you, we celebrate you. You are valid.
