The replies to this are rife with the usual people who spend their lives furiously commenting on anything remotely supportive of trans people — so we wanted to share it and say how refreshing and encouraging it is to hear a major party leader unequivocally support LGBT+ people.

Great to see us at Cheltenham Pride as well today. Thanks to Alisha and the team there! 💛🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

So, it's nearly 4pm on #IDAHOBIT, and there hasn't been a peep about it from The Labour Party, Keir Starmer, LGBT+ Labour, Bridget Phillipson, Nia Griffith MP, Chris Bryant or any other #LabourParty account we could find. Come on, folks. Even Johnson's Tories posted for IDAHOBIT. 🥀

Today’s my birthday & #IDAHOBIT. 3 years ago, I stood in Southwark Council & called for trans rights. I still am! This week, we challenged our MPs to condemn PM’s dangerous migration rhetoric. In Southwark, we reject division. Diversity is our strength. We must protect it 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

We've been working with LGBT+ Lib Dems 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ 🔶 and ALDC on a template council motion on trans rights that ALDC will be sending out next week! Transphobia isn't feminist, and Lib Dem Women will always stand with the Trans community. libdemvoice.org/idahobit-how-l…

Cue the transphobes, masquerading as defenders of women’s rights, clutching their pearls over this protest. Hate to break it to you, bigots, but topless demonstrations have long been a powerful tool in feminist, bodily autonomy activism.

Thank you, Pippa. You're an amazing ally and it's great to have you with us in this fight. 💛🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Thank you to all the Liberal Democrats MPs who spoke in today's Parliamentary debate on self-ID. Roz Savage MP, Charlotte Cane MP🔶, Vikki Slade MP 🔶💙 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈, and Christine Jardine 🔶 - and Pippa Heylings 🔶️ MP for South Cambridgeshire for a particularly moving speech. 💛🏳️‍⚧️ youtube.com/watch?v=P3Pap4…

We want to thank all MPs across all parties who spoke up for trans rights today, but a particular mention should go to Roz Savage MP and Pippa Heylings 🔶️ MP for South Cambridgeshire, who so passionately argued for trans human rights. Thank you both.

Delighted that over half of Liberal Democrats MPs have signed Christine Jardine 🔶's EDM on making sure parties step up on #transrights, including the Chief Whip, Home Affairs spokes & Deputy Leader. The more the merrier, of course. 👀 Thanks to Ellie Chowns too! 😀💛💚 edm.parliament.uk/early-day-moti…

Congratulations, Gerald! 🧡

Liberal Democrats will keep fighting until we can finally build a society where everyone is free to be who they are.
