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'.

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. 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.

Thank you!

I voted for Zack and also voted for some of the other roles. I didn't vote for all of the roles because I lack sufficient knowledge to make an informed decision. I guess that knowledge will come as time goes by and I get more involved!

Internal Elections | The Green Party Green Party members can vote in our internal elections here.

Just helped my wife reset her password on ballot.greenparty.org.uk so that she could get her vote in. It's a vote for Zack, of course! Now is the time to get it done and solve any problems with your login if there are any.

I hope "Julian of Norwich" does time for this. It's probably not going to happen, but it should.

This is absolutely the way it should be. Many want to be judge and jury, not to mention executioner, over the fact that some of us are trans. It's a normal, entirely unexciting thing. We are not taking rights from others. We are just living our lives.

Thank you. There are no doubts remaining in my mind now. Perhaps I will have a bra fit in M&S someday, though I'm pretty sure I know my size! Brilliant piece of journalism.

What a horrid thing for Brianna Wu to say. Especially the use of the "normal" adjective. Don't lump me in with that "Brianna Wu" person. It is hard to imagine the positions of most trans women aligning with hers.

The trouble is that it's hard to know what the absolute truth is. There's a reddit post put out by the trans employee which looks authentic and is believable but we don't know. I would like to see M&S put out an official statement so we know what their "head office" position is.

The thing is, EVEN THE BILLIONAIRES could have a better life if taxes were a little higher for them, because there is likely to come a time when they at the very least need emergency care from the NHS. Some of them do see it. Some of them are so myopic that they can't - or won't.

I hope those who harassed you will learn that there is a better way - acceptance, which reduces stress on both sides. I don't expect it will happen, sadly, but I hope so. Allow me to say those words back to you that you say so often - you are beautiful, you are valid, and you are loved.

As a Green for only a year or so and an activist for about half a year, I voted for Zack and I hope to see him elected leader. He has the charisma to lead the party. I think it will accelerate our growth. In a one-member-one-vote democratic party I don't see how a "hostile takeover" can happen.

A beautiful article, well-written, and absolutely on point.

It's the usual rubbish. "A legitimate aim is to make sure transphobes can use the loo while excluding trans people." What rot. Especially when toilet attendants can be of any gender and there are often signs up stating this in public WCs. In any case, it is not a statement of criminal law.

I don't understand it. I don't understand how people can be so cruel. Behind their mask, they must bear Suella Braverman's gleeful face as she stood in Rwanda showing where she wanted to send refugees. Where's compassion for others? We must be better here and everywhere.

It's funny how these rules are partly about protecting the brands of Visa and Mastercard. It seems to me that those brands are being torn to shreds by the overreach.

I don't think Labour govt are interested in minority rights at all, esp. disabled people, so they probably think they have the ideal candidate - someone who can be ineffective on all fronts. In truth it should not be the govt who has the power to appoint this role.

I suspect you know you're going to lose. The judicial review hasn't been halted, has it? Two days have been set aside for it, so the appeal has been allowed to progress that far at the very least. You could do your job and PROMOTE EQUALITY. How you can sleep at night is beyond me.

As you say, it's a lie. The law still stands that trans people can only be denied access if it is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim. Although who knows, perhaps courts would now think "I don't like them transies" is a legitimate aim these days.

Sign Up - Back Zack Sign up to back Zack Polanski as the next leader of the Green Party today. Let's build a bold movement and grow the party.

I met the Greens' candidates for leadership in Cardiff yesterday. It was great to have conversations with them. I still #BackZack for leadership. You must have seen his viral video recently. backzack.com/sign-up/ if you agree with me, join before August and be a part in getting him elected!

This should never be happening in our time. Of course, I'm sure the govt will say it's intolerable, as it always does, and then go on to tolerate it rather than do something about it.

Thank you! <3 And I hope other readers do the same.

Yes indeed. So join us from £6 and help us make sure Zack Polanski becomes leader and not Ellie and Adrian. There are quite a few trans people among our membership (I'm one of them) and we need to do our best to keep at least one national party on our side. We live in times that are getting harder.

This is in the back of my mind as well. I don't know how to vote for the other positions than the leadership yet. I'll look into it in more detail when the voting period starts.

Come on, my friends. Let's get him over the line. If you're not a member, it's worth joining from £6 a year to help get him in. And he's a great deal better at supporting trans rights than the others who would lead the party. Thanks!

There is no way I can possibly trust the Labour govt with Kier Starmer at the helm. "The Supreme Court has made the position clear" from someone who has the power to change the law is unconscionable. It is clear the SC made the wrong decision and the govt should work to change that.

Ah good. I don't know if I already signed it. I'll sign it now, just to be sure. You can filter out if it's a dupe by my email address, obviously.

It annoys me when politicians don't answer questions directly. They come across as evasive, to me. And I think it's because they are invasive. This is absolutely one of the great things about Zack, and when he does wander off, he says he's going to circle back and he does just that.

This is excellent!
