After this year's Spring Conference, where Lib Dems voted on a motion backing self-ID the @Telegraph ran an article highlighting that Lib Dem members did not agree with self-ID. Lib Dem voters feel the same as shown in various YouGov polls. 🧵
However @LibDems sources told the journalist @DominicPenna that our characterisation of the motion at conference was wrong - that the Lib Dems had sensible policies and did not back self-ID. But yesterday in the Westminster Hall debate @cajardineMP stated we backed self-ID...
Here are a couple of clips of Christine, Lib Dem Women and Equalities spokesperson, discussing our gender recognition proposals and saying the Party is committed to self-ID. She wasn't the only Lib Dem MP supportive but - as she says - she is in charge of this area of policy
Here is Lib Dem MP @VikkiSlade72 calling for self-ID and @pippaheylings joining calls for self-ID, saying getting a gender dysphoria diagnosis is "dehumanising and daunting"
We made an earlier thread pointing out the disparity between the statement given to the @Telegraph and how our policy is sold as self-ID by trans activists - including the chair of @LGBTLD
So is our policy self-ID or not? Or only for certain audiences (certainly not the @Telegraph audience it seems but definitely for reddit and in Parliament). Like our inability to state a position on Cass, eventually this will all catch up with us. We can't obfuscate forever
