Rebecca Jones and Lucas North quoted in this Guardian article on #ldconf trans rights debate www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

was just thinking leconfield was some telly series i'd missed. ta for the actual coverage. sadly mr manchester will do nothing #ldconf

Couple more of absolute lads. #ldconf

Just noticed autocorrect turned #ldconf into Leconfield, wherever or whatever that is, for some reason.

Peak #LDConf

Delighted to have got the chance to get up in stage at Lib Dem Conference to speak truth to power and advocate for the rights of trans and non-binary people.

Even more delighted that the motion 'Restoring trans rights' passed overwhelmingly.

#transrights #LDConf

The motion calling for a rethink of equality law so that everyone can live in dignity and safety matters deeply to all liberals. While trans people are most profoundly affected most of us know the dangers of standing by while marginalised peoole are picked on by the state and the media. #ldconf

@libdemdonna.bsky.social finished:

"Every time the votes go overwhelmingly in favour of inclusion and dignity for all. That is clearly the settled will of the party.” 4/4 #ldconf

Telegraph changed Lib Dem Woman Chair to Chairman, by the way, like we were in the Days of Yore.

@libdemdonna.bsky.social continued:

We want to find a better way to ensure everyone can live in dignity and safety so we support the motion today.

“Whenever these issues are debated at Conference, members can vote in the hall and remotely. 3/4 #ldconf

@libdemdonna.bsky.social said:

“Lib Dem Women’s mission is to fight for improvements to women’s rights, representation and safety. The cruel and unworkable EHRC Code makes no woman safer while putting all trans people at risk of harm. 2/4 #ldconf

I wish @libdemwomen.bsky.social chair @libdemdonna.bsky.social had been called to reiterate that the official organisation representing women in the party fully supports the motion. She is quoted in today's Telegraph - details in thread #ldconf

We've had a brilliant day talking to the public and #LDConf attendees about our call for a single water social tariff in England and Wales!

Did you spot the tap? 🚰 There's still time for you to sign the #TappedOut petition: campaigns.independentage.org/page/187255/...

Brilliant #LDConf speakers for restoring trans rights
(I remembered to get my phone out for wonderful @rigg.lgbt’s finale, why this needed NOW)
As Liberal Democrats vote by a landslide to oppose Labour’s evil transphobic ‘guidance’ and let people lives their lives

Well, @rigg.lgbt gave the best summation I have ever heard. Debunked all the misinformation and called out the misgendering we heard from the two anti-trans speakers. As someone said, we need more gobby northern women telling it like it is. #ldconf

Warra speech, I love @rigg.lgbt so much. #ldconf

I'm proud that the #ldconf has voted to protect transgender rights, and specifically to get a workable policy that doesn't lead to discrimination.

What an incredibly moving speech by Rebecca Jones "I am tired of being an attack ad. I just want to live my life in peace. "
We have to make it possible for her to live her life in quiet dignity, as she deserves. #ldconf

I will gladly be voting in favour of this motion. Trans rights are absolutely non-negotiable. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

As Lucas North states “Liberalism means allowing people to live their own lives.” Hear, hear. #LDconf

Lib Dem conference motion Restoring Trans Rights debate about to begin. Starting a live thread to cover what happens.
