This is a cross party statement in solidarity with @greenpartyhan.bsky.social after what happened this weekend. Thanks to all the LGBT and Feminist organisations within all the respective parties for signing this, and it was amazing working with you all.
5,000 members! As @greenparty.org.uk has broke over 215,000 members, we've discovered that we're now past 5,000 members in the LGBTIQA+ Greens. Our growth has been incredible over the last year, growing to at least double our previous size. Here's to many more members!
I'll be delivering our ‘Trans+ history lesson we never had’ talk and joining the panel for the Feminist Perspective on Trans+ History online event hosted by Feminist Greens, Trans Greens, LGBTIQA+ Greens and Young Greens. 🗓️ March 18 19.00-20.30 GMT Register here: actionnetwork.org/events/femin...
Thank you to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for your clear support for the trans community. In a political climate where too many are stepping back, visible allyship from political leaders matters. We were proud to meet Zack at launch of the Trans Lives Report by @transactualuk.bsky.social
Joanne is standing in the Shirley ward of Southampton (@southamptongreens.bsky.social) in today’s by-election. If you can, get out to the polls and support her if you live in the area! A hard worker for her local community, we’re all behind you!
I’d like to sincerely thank The Telegraph for the free national promotion of my amazing conference motion. Baby’s first attack piece — we’re growing up and glowing up 🥹 Marketing budget: £0 Telegraph outrage machine: priceless.
![Telegraph article.
"Another motion put forward for consideration at the party’s spring conference would end all blanket bans on transgender athletes in women’s sport.
The motion was tabled by Melissa Harker, a press officer for the LGBTIQA+ Greens pressure group."
It then has a photo of me with the caption: "Melissa Harker, a Green trans campaigner, is calling for an end to the transgender bans in women’s sport"
It goes on:
"Ms Harker’s policy proposal warned that blanket bans have “serious consequences for gender-diverse and global majority [of African, Asian, Latin American and Arab descent] peoples’ mental and physical health”.
It went on to claim that “historical colonial and Eurocentric attitudes” have long affected elite sports and continued to have an impact.
If passed, the motion would be required to call on all sporting bodies to allow trans athletes to compete, working towards a long-term ambition to “undo the toxic environment around trans, intersex and gender non-conforming people in sport”."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bgababugqq4mz3vduz52zq7w/bafkreidfmagewkt6b5bhwxqhmogf7trlb7i4pcutzcsnlodzlyrdlteh6i)
A statement on the High Court ruling and the recent guidance from the Department of Education regarding trans youth.
The Bassetlaw District Council meeting, convened to debate Reform's anti-trans motion, will be starting shortly. We'll try to share updates and info here about what is happening throughout the meeting.
Hannah Spencer has always been an ally to the trans community. She has time after time repeatedly spoken in support of trans rights. In her interview with @edpoole1975.bsky.social, she spoke about a time where a known trans ally was mistakenly labelled transphobic.
Your Trans Greens Interim Committee for the first half of 2026! We're tasked with finalising our constitution and standing orders, then organising an election for the first Trans Greens committee later this year. Watch this space!
Social media is certainly bad for children and young people, but we must remember that Brianna was murdered, in the context of anti-trans rhetoric and hate coming from many, incl. printing presses. This move to brand social media as the issue allows politicians & papers to cleanse their incitement.

Employment tribunals happen all the time in the UK, but apparently the only ones that can, or should, get front page news with the BBC are those that involve trans women... because they're still trying to manufacture consent for our removal from public life. Defund the BBC.
📢🏳️⚧️ Trans people in Bassetlaw are being targeted by a discriminatory council motion. We need to act now! Sign our open letter calling on members of the Bassetlaw District Council to reject a transphobic motion that would ban trans women from women’s services. 🖊️ you.38degrees.org.uk/p/trans-righ...
Our AGM and @transgreens.bsky.social Interim Committee last week voted to leave X/Twitter. It is quite simply untenable to continue as we were, in the backdrop of everything going on.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social wore our #ElectTheDolls tee last night while speaking at an event. So cool! 😎 We're so happy to see him on board with electing some dolls. Want to show your support? 👉 lgbtiqagreens.teemill.com
Reform are bringing back their anti-trans motion to the Bassetlaw District Council. As residents, we are appalled by their demonisation of the trans community & stand in solidarity with our trans neighbours, friends & family members. Join us on 3 February to stand up for trans rights in Bassetlaw 🏳️⚧️
We were promised a draft bill on banning conversion practices by the end of 2025 and it's mid-December with no movement. This government *must* commit to a trans-inclusive ban, especially following a report by the BBC into practices fifty years ago.
It's good news that this motion is postponed, but that still means that it'll be heard. If you're in Bassetlaw, write to your local councillor about this motion. Many thanks to @whatthetrans.com for their dedicated journalism & big up @bassetlaw-trans.bsky.social!
What The Trans?! 🏳️⚧️@whatthetrans.com · 10mo agoThe motion will be *at least* postponed to the next council meeting on 26th February 2026, unless an extraordinary motion is called. In the meantime, the people remaining in the hall have been asked to express their views to their local MP.

"We need to move to a place around HIV, without delay, stigma or shame, where people are able to talk openly about their experiences and we are able to find humanity and compassion as a society" @zackpolanski.bsky.social speaking to @philipcbaldwin.bsky.social for @gaytimes.bsky.social today.
It's World AIDS Day today. Today we recognise the life-saving effect access to education, testing and PrEP has had on reducing new HIV transmissions. 💚 @greenparty.org.uk is committed to ending new HIV transmissions by 2030. 💊 Want or need access to PrEP? Find your nearest NHS Sexual Health Clinic.
This should be a national scandal. Trans youth who were provided evidence-based care from WellBN are now being cut off from it. Yet GnRH agonists continue to be prescribed to cis children under 16. This is performative cruelty by NHSE. Trans youth are being punished for existing.
Sophie Molly@sophiemolly.co.uk · 11mo ago"Minutes leaked to North West Bylines confirm that NHSE has “no provision” to continue prescribing puberty blocking medicaction to U16 trans patients currenty at WellBN." northwestbylines.co.uk/news/health/...
The LGBTIQA+ Greens have now hit 4,000 members! ✌️ We couldn't be happier that going into our AGM and elections season that we have such a high number of members that have joined us. We look forward at seeing you at our AGM. Date & agenda being confirmed.
Today is a day where we remember the trans and non-binary lives lost prematurely to hate, malice and transphobia.

Our allies at the @goodlawproject.bsky.social have a way for people to tell the BBC to stop attacking trans people. As Trans Greens we thought it'd be nice to signal boost! action.goodlawproject.org/tell-the-BBC...
Tell the BBC to stop attacking trans people
The BBC is in shock after rightwing groups have claimed the broadcaster is against Donald Trump and “pro-trans”. But the reality is very different. A recent YouGov survey found that 70% of trans peopl...

“Incredible stuff that’s been done here” This is how Emily Maitlis describes her work which helped shut down the only source of NHS transition healthcare for trans youth. “Ideological capture” indeed, but not by LGBT people.
A huge thank you to all those who made speeches @zackpolanski.bsky.social , @anthonyslaughter.bsky.social Linda Rogers, Tessa Marshall, Matt Youde and Ian Chandler. They were inspiring. Seeing the huge growth in press intrest in our party was also something to behold! So many organisations! …2/?
The response from Cycling UK exposes critical flaws with the ruling. 🤦♀️ We hope their commitment to trans and non-binary people won't "third gender" us. 🙅 It's telling that they don't even acknowledge intersex people, who lack protections in EA2010. They may be the biggest losers in this.
Caroline Russell@carolinerussell.bsky.social · 11mo agoI was included in the @cyclinguk.bsky.social 2017 list of 100 women in cycling and am dismayed to see their transphobia. The Supreme Court ruling may have enabled organisations to be transphobic but it does not mandate that. Cycling UK can and should be as inclusive as they say they wish to be.
