It also means it must adopt anti-oppression as one of its political leadership principles alongside socialism and anti-imperialism.
TLG will now be on a break as an organisation until 15th December - but in the meantime, please consider joining us!

I was on this podcast with Rosa talking about Your Party and the Trans Liberation Group (@transliberationgroup.org.uk)
Our interview starts at ~50:30. (but check out the full episode if you can)
I had a lovely time speaking with Ashleigh and Flint about this, despite being a bit nervous at first.
What the trans logo on top. Below it says episode 144 and "your party our questions". Below that is the face of Jeremy Corbyn and the logo of the trans liberation group. Below that is some text that says special episode with your party liberation group.
New Special Podcast Episode:

And more
whatthetrans.com/ep144/
Young people aren’t just part of this movement, they must be the engine driving it.
From trans rights to a party that backs renters over landlords, the fight for maximum member democracy matters so we can build a party led by its members, not MPs.
I had a great time in Manchester discussing this!
Busy evening at What The Trans.
Walking over bridges, and we have recorded the latest podcast episode.
Talked about a range of stories like the Lib Dem constitution changes, the EHRC, the US supreme court and more.
And we spoke to @transliberationgroup.org.uk about Your Party
Packed episode!
Zarah with two members of Trans Liberation Group — holding a flyer and supporting their demands for Your Party.
Proud to back @transliberationgroup.org.uk — a brilliant grassroots group fighting for trans liberation within Your Party.
Their demands are essential for real party democracy. With trans people under unprecedented threat in the UK, I’m proud to always stand with the trans community.

Demand number 3: Healthcare that works - Trans Liberation Group
End the discriminatory puberty blocker ban - a young trans person should not have to undergo the misery of the wrong puberty. Make HRT a right for all adult people with no legal restrictions, available over the counter on an informed consent basis. Abolish the GIC system and desegregate trans healthcare - monitoring and referral for specialist treatment should be done by primary care providers. - Trans Liberation Group
Expand the range of gender affirming surgeries accessible on the NHS. Legally enshrine the right to transition - where a person has Gillick competence there should be no interference with their transition. This includes trans children, who should not require parental consent to transition. Legally guarantee bodily autonomy for all. A human being should have the ultimate say over what goes on in their own body. This includes a complete decriminalisation of abortion based on the principle “as early as possible, as late as necessary”. - Trans Liberation Group
End all “corrective” surgery on intersex children. Nobody should be subject to medically unnecessary surgery without the capacity to consent. Fund fertility treatment for all who need it, it should be a legal right and not restricted by a lack of money. Expand mental health provision, provide support on demand and for as long as needed, given how disproportionately trans people are affected by poor mental health due to the discrimination we face. - Trans Liberation Group
Demand 3 - Healthcare that works
Delegates of TLG contributed to this united left platform to fight for trans liberation, party democracy and socialism in Your Party
A massive moment from this weekend and what will hopefully become a key part in the campaign of fulfilling TLG’s Demand 0: A PARTY FOR EVERYONE (2/2)
Watch the "For A Member led, Socialist Party: United Proposal from Your Party Groups" be delivered to the final day assembly of TWT. Our very own Sam M from the interim steering committee represented TLG on stage. (1/2)
Demand number 2: Reform the broken system. - Trans Liberation Group
Completely overhaul the Relationship and Sex Education guidance for schools. Children should be aware of all different types of people and their own options. Sex education should be queer and trans inclusive. Gender-critical perspectives should not be taught and trans people should not be framed as a “debate”. Institute a complete ban on all types of conversion therapy, including trans conversion therapy. Support for people questioning their gender should be affirmative of their desires while giving space for people to explore their feelings. - Trans Liberation Group
Enshrine in UK Law the right to privacy over your assigned gender at birth and trans status, and oppose all attempts to leave the ECHR, which guarantees the right to respect for your private and family life, including confidentiality around your assigned gender at birth under Article 8. Introduce a new law abolishing all kinds of “trans panic” legal defences. Legally enshrine the right to not have to disclose your assigned gender at birth or trans status to potential sexual partners and reverse all convictions made of trans people on the basis of “deception” for not disclosing their trans status. - Trans Liberation Group
Decriminalise all sex work (which trans people are disproportionately involved in), reversing all criminal and administrative penalties on sex workers. Regulate sex workers’ workplaces through employment law, allowing them to self-organise and form trade unions. Reverse the cuts to PIP and overhaul the system through a process which puts disabled people at the heart of decision making. - Trans Liberation Group
Demand 2 - Reform the broken system.
Reject any attempts to restrict trans people’s rights to access public bathrooms and other gendered spaces, which we have freely exercised for decades. Trans people have a right to access gendered spaces by self-ID (including prisons).
End the testing of hormone levels in women athletes, which has led to the exclusion of gender non-conforming women. Transgender women have been competing in women's sports for many years. Regardless of their success, the question of their participation should be looked at fairly. Transphobia and misogyny have no place in sport. No athlete should be excluded on the grounds of being transgender.

Demand number 1: Legalise Trans Existence
Amend the Equality Act 2010 to undo the damage caused by the Supreme Court ruling of 16th April 2025 by making it clear “sex” refers to a person's current lived sex and adding gender identity as a protected characteristic. Ensure that “gender-critical” beliefs cannot be treated as protected beliefs. Enshrine the right to self-identification of gender, including non-binary gender, for all purposes.
Abolish gender markers from official documentation such as passports. Reject plans for the introduction of ID cards as an authoritarian imposition that will be disproportionately used to police and harass trans people, migrants, and people of colour. Scrap the Equality and Human Rights Commission - it is broken and not fit for purpose and should be replaced with an equalities body that actually protects human rights.
Demand 1 - Legalise trans existence existence
Ensure that trans people are represented through a democratic structure in the party with a right to be consulted on all decisions specifically impacting trans people - nothing about us without us!
Ensure party structures allow for the membership to have full democratic control over the party’s policies, agenda and who its representatives are. Create a systematic political education scheme which is compulsory for all elected representatives, which includes education about trans liberation.
Join us now to fight for a trans-inclusive, member-led party: transliberationgroup.org.uk/join
Demand Number zero: A Party For Everyone.
Require all elected party representatives to be bound by the programme democratically agreed by the membership, which will have trans liberation at its core. Ensure that elected representatives are held accountable to the membership and censure and remove any representatives who break from this programme (including promoting transphobic bigotry or discrimination).
Create a transparent disciplinary process for all members to prevent bigotry and discrimination, overseen by a democratically-elected committee including representation for trans people. This should be guided by the principles of transformative justice, with efforts to resolve issues through mediation and education where possible.
Over the next few days we will be posting our demands into 4 overarching demands/group
Today Demand 0 - A party for everyone

We are supporting campaigns for member democracy. - Trans Liberation Group
We know the average person in Your Party stands in solidarity with us in the fight for trans liberation. They are as repulsed as we are by comments made by MPs, such as Adnan Hussain, and other less prominent individuals jockeying for position in the party. Founding Statement: Through member democracy, we have a safeguard against individuals using positions of influence to embed transphobia in the party’s policy programme and create a hostile environment for trans party members. - Trans Liberation Group
Founding Statement: A democratic, member-led foundation can make trans liberation an integral part of the party programme, and use collective might to overthrow any self appointed party kings who believe their personal bigotry should undermine both our rights, and the principles of party democracy. - Trans Liberation Group
Founding Statement: By campaigning for a democratic party with a member led founding conference, there is an opening for trans people to make a significant intervention in what could become the largest political party in Europe. We do not need to beg for patronage from an MP for a seat at the table, we can organise and claim our own place as members. That is why we are urging you, whether trans or cis, to join our struggle - Link in Bio. - Trans Liberation Group
We support campaigns for member democracy.
Founding Statement: The situation for trans people in Britain is critical. We face a barrage of billionaire bankrolled abuse in the media. We endure decades long waiting lists to access limited healthcare, with dehumanisation and pathologisation built in to the system. In the job market, we are met with discrimination, lack of opportunity and stagnating pay. We are excluded from housing, healthcare, employment, leisure - now even our use of bathrooms is policed. - Trans Liberation Group
Something must change. - Trans Liberation Group
Founding Statement: For trans people, today’s politics is exhausting. The major political parties have used and discarded us time and time again. Too often, exclusionary figures are embedded in leadership capacities, and even in progressive parties, those on the fringes can spew hatred unchallenged. We say no more. This cannot happen in Your Party. The liberation of all marginalised people can only be achieved through their active and equal participation in class struggle; there can only be a precarious freedom for some under current conditions. - Trans Liberation Group
ounding Statement: We are the Trans Liberation Group and we are fighting to ensure Your Party, in its current and future iterations, explicitly advocates for trans liberation, and encourages the political participation of trans people. We know there are prominent figures who have been platformed under the banner of Your Party who hold regressive, misinformed and dangerous views on trans people. We are here to show them that this is our party, and we will fight tooth and nail to prevent this oppressive politics from taking root. - Trans Liberation Group
We are the Trans Liberation Group and we are fighting for a foundation of trans liberation in Your Party, in its current and future iterations.
might get a boob job - as a treat
Since the Supreme Court ruling, there has been a surge of transphobic hate promoted by the far-right and those who seek to divide our communities.
We must resist this rhetoric and bring about true social equality for all.
Remember when the Kony 2012 guy had his brain so broken by social media he was found naked on the street doing weird sex stuff and vandalizing everything within reach? What if 13 years later we made the whole government out of that guy
He praised them both in his victory speech two days ago and said he was looking forward to working with them
I guess my final point is I think pro-trans statements like this from Zarah should be welcomed. The fight for trans rights is being fought across British society, and that includes both the Greens and YP.
As trans people, we will be better off if we have two pro-trans parties in British politics
