Who are LGB Alliance?

Are they an LGB rights organisation, or are they an anti-trans organisation?

Can they be both?

I did some analysis of their followers to find out.

A THREAD⬇️
First off, let's compare accounts of similar sizes.

Comparing the followers of Alliance LGB to two gender critical (anti-trans) accounts, see the overlap. Many shared followers.

Compare with two LGBT+ orgs, Equality Network and LGBT Consortium. No overlap. Few shared followers.
Now let's look at other LGBT+ orgs.

Comparing to Stonewall, Gay Civil Rights, Stonewall Scotland, LGBT Youth Scotland.

Again, very little overlap.

Followers of LGB Alliance don't seem to follow other LGBT rights organisations.
Let's look at LGBT+ media.

Comparing Pink News, BuzzFeed LGBT, Queerty, Gay Star News, Attitude magazine and Diva Magazine.

Followers of LGB Alliance don't seem too interested in gay media.

Note the overlap between the LGBT+ media accounts, little or none with LGB Alliance.
Let's look at Pride organisations.

Birmingham Pride, Pride in Liverpool, Manchester Pride, Brighton Pride, UK Black Pride, Bristol Pride, Pride in London.

I threw in LGBT+ History Month for fun too.

Sadly, LGB Alliance followers don't seem to like Pride, or LGBT History.
What about health, wellbeing and welfare?

GMFA, National AIDS Trust.
LGBT Friend, Gallop, the LGBT+ domestic violence charity.

What about non LGBT centered orgs? Woman's Aid and Refuge for example.

LGB Alliance don't tend to follow any of these accounts.
So, we know what they don't follow.

Who do they follow?

Well they really like Graham Linehan. 53% follow him.

Many follow Julie Bindel too.

Both prominent figures known for their anti-trans views.

You can almost barely see LGB Alliance here, such is the overlap.
Who else do they follow?

Well, we already covered Transgender Trend and Fair Play For Women, what about other "gender critical" or arguably "anti-trans" accounts?

Safe Schools, We Are Fair Cop, Woman's Place, Kathleen Stock, Ray Blanchard, Maya Forster.

Many shared followers.
Finally, who do they say they are?

From analysis of their bios, how do LGB Alliance followers describe themselves?

These word clouds show the most common words first.

From the "two word" analysis:

Adult human / human female / gender critical/ radical feminist.

Are top 4.
I was raised by two fierce Scottish women, my gran & my mum, who would be appalled if I didn't describe myself as a feminist.

I marched with her for women's rights, to save the refuges in Falkirk and raise funds for Women's Aid.

Like many others, my feminism is trans inclusive.
