    Transphobes: Sex is chromosomes! Women are XX! Nature: You are like little child. Watch this.
    "We assumed that all fertile females are XX, however we now have proof that fertile XY females exist, and we have no idea how rare or common it is because it's not something we usually test for" @AutisticMadeArt

    We are studying today's judgement by the UK Supreme Court. Nothing they rule will change our solidarity with the trans+ community and with everyone who seeks to live their lives under control of their own bodies, and free from poverty, ignorance or conformity. (1/3)
    The UK Supreme Court overlaid in the colours of the trans pride flag — blue, pink and white. Overlaid bold text reads “TRANS WOMAN = WOMAN”. In the top left corner is the LGBT+ Liberal Democrats logo, and along the bottom is a small line of text: “Promoted by LGBT+ Lib Dems, 1 Vincent Square, London SW1P 2PN.”

    If you see strange people in your house today, don't panic. These are probably bisexual family members. Usually invisible except for one day per year, they are typically friendly if approached. #BiVisibilityDay

    Hearing Pride London has been disrupted by anti LGBT+ protesters attacking trans people. It appears Pride are letting the transphobes lead the march!

    On Tuesday, @EHRC released a gov-commissioned letter to append the word "biological" to the protected category of "sex" in the #EqualityAct. We strongly oppose this politically motivated, homophobic, and transphobic assault. Full #EHRC statement at lgbtld.uk/ehrc_state

    When he came to office, Keir Starmer promised his government would "tread more lightly" on folks' lives. Bridget Phillipson's announcement that trans folks should use the wrong toilets is monstrous. It shows Labour to be no better than the US Republicans. They should be ashamed

    We are getting a lot of activity in our mentions from transphobic “feminists”, so we’d like to be clear: Trans women are women. The humanity, digitity and equality of trans people is not a matter for debate. The Liberal Democrats will always be there for trans people.

    Love and solidarity to the people at Mermaids 💕
    Due to intolerable abuse, we have made the decision to close the helpline and webchat services for the rest of today and tomorrow. Next week, to enable us to take all volunteers off the rota, we will reduce hours to 9am to 6pm only.

    We are disappointed that the party's disciplinary process has ruled that calling Fair Play for Women a transphobic hate group requires an apology. We would not apologise for calling a racist group racist; we shouldn't for calling a transphobic hate group what they are. 🦇

    We are disappointed and frustrated with the recent revisions to the Liberal Democrats definition of transphobia. Please read our statement in full here. lgbt.libdems.org.uk/en/article/202…

    The UKSC ruling was an opportunity for the government and the EHRC to step up and commit to affirm the rights of all. They've failed on every measure, choosing to peddle hate and discrimination instead. We've heard enough: Kishwer Falkner and Bridget Phillipson must resign. 1/2
    Profile pictures of Kishwer Falkner, Chair of the EHRC, and Bridget Phillipson, Equalities Minister, both against grey backgrounds, with the caption: "We've heard enough. RESIGN".  Above and below are banners, above in the colours of the Pride flag and below in the colours of the Trans flag, each with the logos of Liberal Democrat Women, the Liberal Democrat Campaign for Racial Equality (LDCRE), the Young Liberals, the LGBT+ Liberal Democrats, and the Liberal Democrat Disability Association, which are together calling for their resignations.

    Our initial statement on the #CassReview: We share the widespread disappointment at the review's lack of evidence and perpetuation of harmful stereotypes. As always, we stand with young, trans, and autistic individuals, and women in defending their autonomy. Statement below 👇
    Black text against a white background with the progress rainbow filled Lib Dem Libby in the top corner against a black flag icon. The text reads:

Initial Statement on the Cass Review
13 May 2024
We are very disappointed by the lack of evidence leading to a conclusion which infantilises autistic people and is undeniable transphobia towards young adults and people.

The Gillick competency saves lives and should be protected, not just for trans people but all people. Everyone has medical rights which should be protected.

LGBT+ Liberal Democrats will continue to stand with trans people, young people, autistic people and women to defend their right to bodily and medical autonomy.

    Today is IDAHoBiT, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia. We need to do better on this: as a society, as a Party, and as individuals. We have a great record, but we can't rest on our laurels. We're in the fight to do better, and we won't let up. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💛
