Please join us next month September 5th at 11am to #MarchForTransEquality and world-leading reforms to gender recognition laws and trans healthcare. We'll be setting aside our party colours to join @OutForIndy & @rainbowgreens
Scottish Labour’s existing position is correct. The days of attempting to medicalise LGBT+ people should be consigned to the history books
UK Labour to commit to keeping a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria as part of its planned reforms to gender recognition. That is another policy divergence from Scottish Labour who, in December, were whipped to back SNP reforms. theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
Scottish Labour devolved policy on GRA reform hasn’t been ‘overruled’. Today social justice spokesperson Paul O’Kane reiterated our policy in favour of self-id, which is consistent with how we voted last year. Due to UK gov blocking the Bill, it’ll be settled in court.

Labour rules out self-id in gender recognition reform U-turn
LABOUR reforms of the Gender Recognition Act will not include so-called self-ID, the party’s shadow secretary of state for women and equalities…
#Pride🌈 is about affirmation and joy, but it is also a protest. We must resist the Tories' attempt to block us from extending trans rights. Solidarity for #PrideMonth and always 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
The hard-won rights of LGBTQ people can never be taken for granted. This is not a retrospective issue. We still have more to do to make Scotland fairer, safer and more equal, including ending conversion therapy. I hope all candidates are committed to robust legislation.
NEW: Kate Forbes tells @Channel4News she would have voted against equal marriage. But as First Minister she will not 'row back on rights that already exist.'
I sit across from Kate Forbes every week. My marriage isn’t up for debate. These rights were hard fought for and hard won for me and hundreds of others across Scotland. They are celebrated by our allies, families and friends. Our First Minister must stand up for them.

As a gay married woman, it matters to me whether my First Minister believes that my marriage is valid. It tells me whether they believe in my equality and dignity as a citizen. Any First Minister should be able to answer that question: clearly, directly, and positively.
📣Calling all people who believe we need a new approach to education in Scotland! Please join the Scottish Labour Education Network👇
Today at #ScotLab23 we are launching the Scottish Labour Education Network. You don't have to be a Labour member to join. If you believe we need a new approach to education in this country then we want to learn from you and work with you. Sign up here: action.labour.org.uk/page/122671/pe…
Candidate views on abortion and same sex marriage are absolutely fair game for scrutiny in a leadership contest. If you are a progressive, these are fundamental, red line issues.
Central to the disagreement between Holyrood and the UK Government on Gender Recognition is the extent to which self identification as the basis of a Gender Recognition Certificate puts women and girls at risk from predators.
Whether the s35 Order is justified depends on reasons advanced by HMG for saying GRR has adverse effect on UK equality law. For the reasons I have tweeted those reasons do not begin to justify its use. It’s a nuclear weapon used in a minor skirmish.
Great turnout for the Glasgow rally against the blocking of the Gender Recognition Reform Bill!
We've said it before many times, but it's important to keep saying it - personal abuse and threats of violence are not acceptable in Scottish politics, on any side of any debate.
150 amendments, years of discussion and debate, an overwhelming cross party majority (86 votes for and 39 against) for the act and passed in despite of numerous blocking tactics – GRA can now be viewed as the ‘considered view of the Scottish Parliament’ thepinknews.com/2022/12/22/sco…
Thank you for your solidarity Paul!
I was proud to speak outside the UK Government HQ alongside @LGBTLabScot members in solidarity with the trans community. It is outrageous that trans people are targets in a Tory culture war. The majority of Scottish Parliamentarians stand with them.🏳️⚧️ #TransRightsAreHumanRights

If all discussions in the media about trans people's lives were handled like this, there would be no moral panic.
Trans advocate, and friend of the show, @hannahw253 explains Scotland's blocked Gender Recognition Bill and addresses some of the fears linked to it. 👇 #Lorraine
