Please can we stop saying "dignity and respect" while those seeking to take away our healthcare use those same words? It's not like we don't deserve dignity and respect, but the words have become so meaningless.

There has been some uninformed speculation in the media about the Green Party’s disciplinary processes. Rightly, LGBTIQA+ Greens has no knowledge about any specific incidents and we would not comment on any individual case, but we are able to make the following things clear: 1/4

People should be able to attend Pride visibly and without fear. The events in Tiergarten have sent shockwaves through the LGBTQIA+ community. We stand united, to defend our right to peaceful assembly, and will ensure that hate and fear never silence our voices.

Some groups are praising the draft bill as if it provides protection for people from conversion therapy... When in reality it is less capable of holding water than a colander.

Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS. These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st). Forced medical detransition. This country is a danger to trans children & young people.

Rest in power, my friends. What can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the Reaper Man? GNU: Charlotte Fosgate, Brianna Ghey, Morgen Batten If anything on this post has affected you, don’t hesitate to ask for help: Samaritans - 116 123 Mindline - 0800 138 1692

She was excited to meet my friends and me, but unfortunately, her health prevented her from doing so. This loss has made everything feel even more personal and meaningful to me.

I first learned about Morgen online through conversations about trans rights and politics. Hoping to offer her support and friendship, I invited Morgen to join my local trans community and social group—something she had never known existed.

Brooke Linnet @blinnet.uk · 02/05/2026
Two weeks ago, I experienced something that really touched my heart. I lost a dear member of my local community—a trans girl around my age named Morgen.

Brooke Linnet @blinnet.uk · 02/05/2026
I wasn’t open about my own identity at that time, but to me, Charlotte’s story feels deeply connected to what Brianna’s loss represents for many of my transgender friends.

Brooke Linnet @blinnet.uk · 02/05/2026
For example, in 2026, it has only been 3 years since Brianna Ghey, a 16-year-old, was tragically murdered in a hate crime fuelled by anti-trans bias.

Brooke Linnet @blinnet.uk · 02/05/2026
What's really heartbreaking is that the kind of hate Charlotte experienced is sadly all too common for many LGBTQ+ individuals and people from the global majority.

Brooke Linnet @blinnet.uk · 02/05/2026
I never knew Charlotte Fosgate personally— I only found out about her when I heard how much hurt and hate she faced, which sadly contributed to her taking her own life. The online reactions to her passing were mostly filled with hurtful words and negativity.

Brooke Linnet @blinnet.uk · 02/05/2026
Her last message was a photo of a beautiful night-lit landscape from a bridge, along with her final words, “its [sic] a pretty view” … “long way down”.

TW: Suicide/Murder/Transmisia Today is a very tough day. A year ago, a 17-year-old girl from Portland named Charlotte left her home with just her phone and bus pass and was never seen again.

Turns out a few days ago Darren Grimes gave me a mention in one of his videos. Darren says: “…Brooke is talking about Local Politics, actual things that matter to people! Cleaner streets! Tidier establishments! That’s good use of a local councillor’s time.”

I, and others, are desperately tired of every single time something comes out that bans women from womens spaces for situations they can't control, "dignity and respect" or "kindness and care" gets wheeled out. Words mean nothing. It's high time organisations grow a backbone.

"kindness, care and respect" may be their intention, but it's not coming across well when you consider they're banning women and girls from their organisation for women and girls, based on a situation that they can not control.

I went to town this week, spotted some homophobic graffiti in a Public Car Park. Things like this graffiti might make locals feel unsafe. Returned today to remove the offensive graffiti. Just one small thing our local Greens are doing. Let’s take PRIDE in our local area. join.greenparty.org.uk

I'm running as a candidate for the next Campaigns Officer role at @lgbtiqagreens.bsky.social. I've been involved in several LGBTIQA+ campaigns over the last year, and would like to use my skills to further the aims of LGBTIQA+ Greens. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

In the wake of the murder of Renee Good by ICE agents, far right influencers took to the internet not to mourn, but to excuse and even celebrate the execution on camera of an innocent woman by the state. We know where this leads. We’ve seen it before. Let’s talk about it.
