1/ We were happy today to finally meet with @JaneHutt . We look forward to her notes of our discussion but will reserve judgment until we see action as a result. We have waited 4.5 years for this meeting. 2/ We do wonder why @WelshGovernment is still waiting for @EHRCwales & @EHRC guidance despite an urgent need to rewrite the Action Plan. We have asked to be formally & publicly part of the advisory groups informing any review but received no commitment to our involvement.

Some LGBAC members & allies wanted to go to Winter Pride in #Carmarthen, but @ConXtions cancelled it last minute, afeard of some ‘hateful’ woman. What’s that about? Buckle up for a thread. #ShameonPride 1/n In 2023 a pal asked difficult questions of the event & was ‘asked to leave’ cos she knows sex is real, immutable & important. She’s also part of the LGBTQIA community, endorsed by no less than Davina-Louise, Director of @StonewallCymru. #ShameonPride 2/n

Thinking on about this morning evidence to the #SeneddReformCommittee from @JackMerched & @WomensRightsNet sisters, several points come to mind. Bear with as we point out more of the 🩸 obvious: 1/ This is the FIRST time gender-critical voices have been heard by #Senedd members in public. This is not for lack of trying. Both @MerchedCymru & us were formed in 2020, & have been trying to talk to politicians ever since. 2/

#banconversiontherapy thread. Act on HMG proposals: respond to the consultation. There's help at bit.ly/3osrek5 from
@Transgendertrd; explore issues eg from
@SexMattersOrg bit.ly/3ncZC2R & survey at bit.ly/31PbzDJ; talk to MPs & #Senedd. #banconversiontherapy In Wales we need to #CanthePlan bit.ly/30mPfAQ We ask Ministers in Cardiff & Westminster to address the interaction of the proposed ban w/ ‘affirmation’. We want ethical, legal, local therapy (bit.ly/3nkvV0d for the
@Transgendertrd advice)

About #pledges, elected legislators and listening to diverse opinions: we are concerned that our representatives at #Westminster & in the #Senedd don’t adopt positions which eradicate the reality of same-sex attraction & the protected characteristic of #sexualorientation 1/14 Some MPs, for instance, have endorsed the Labour ‘LGBT+’ Pledge. We give the benefit of the doubt; maybe they haven’t thought it through. We hope the #Senedd, looking at a forthcoming Action Plan allegedly about us, makes sure it considers our views in putting it together. 2/14
