ALT Alt text: 'TLG Writes Breaking this Doom Spiral: As Far-Right Bloggers Inform NHS Policy, How Do We Begin to Fight Back? By Chloe B Things are bad for trans people in Britain, and getting worse all the time. A hate movement is rampaging through the institutions, hell-bent on our eradication. Chloe B argues in light of this that now is not the time to shy away from the fight, but to build a movement that can eventually win it.'
ALT Alt text: 'TLG Writes Breaking the Doom Spiral By Chloe B “Soulless, cowardly bureaucrats, who have for years refused to engage with the affected communities on such issues, have handed down another decision which will lead to preventable deaths. This amounts to the murder-by-proxy of transgender people; one further thrust in a genocidal campaign”'
ALT Alt Text: 'TLG Writes Breaking the Doom Spiral By Chloe B “The deafening silence of Prime Minister Andy Burnham [...] who was previously happy to “stand alongside” trans people as mayor of Manchester, should be raised as a key issue against those who would like to view his premiership as somehow left-wing.”'
ALT Alt text: 'TLG Writes Breaking the Doom Spiral by Chloe B “In the face of escalating oppression we must escalate our resistance; to resist effectively, an organisation capable of unifying the struggle on a national level is necessary. [...] [P]olitical power for the oppressed is nothing more or less than the result of collective action, co-ordinated by structures that we erect to govern ourselves and direct our efforts.”'
ALT Alt text: 'TLG Writes Breaking the Doom Spiral By Chloe B “Under the banner of a single, nationwide organisation dedicated to our liberation alongside the liberation of all oppressed people, we can not only one day stop the fascist onslaught, but reverse it and turn it into an onslaught against its criminal perpetrators. Those are our principles; liberation for the oppressed, and justice against the oppressors.”'
ALT Alt Text: 'TLG Writes Breaking the Doom Spiral By Chloe B “Every dark moment of history comes to an end. The question facing each of us is simply how long we are willing to endure the darkness before we do something about it. Join the Trans Liberation Group and start building trans power across the country with us.”'

ALT Alt text: TLG Writes Trans Segregation, a New Era of Misogyny by Cece Standring "With the relentless attacks against trans people in recent years, it is hard to avoid continually fighting on the back foot. While we should absolutely be resisting the attacks we are facing today, we will not be able to reverse the damage without taking control of the narrative and making positive demands."

ALT Blue text on a black banner. The TLG logo (a pink, blue, and white phoenix on a pink star) is in the centre at the top. Alt text: 'As an organisation rooted in the self-defence and emancipation of trans people, we will be clear on this – this was not simply a “fire”, as headlined by the BBC; nor was it merely an act of arson. This was an act of far-right terrorism, and an attempt to commit mass-murder against queer people. The manner in which the British media have reported the attack, where they have bothered to, has been typically inadequate.'
ALT Blue text on a black banner. The TLG logo (a pink, blue, and white phoenix on a pink star) is in the centre at the top. Alt text: 'Queer nightclubs have long been a refuge for our communities, driven as we are to self-segregate by the hostility of a patriarchal society towards us. But even this is not enough for the forces of reaction. It is as clear as it has ever been that they seek nothing short of our eradication, and will not tolerate even the meekest self-expression. Yet we should remember that we are not alone in facing this enemy.'
ALT Blue text on a black banner. The TLG logo (a pink, blue, and white phoenix on a pink star) is in the centre at the top. Alt text: 'This is because we understand this attack not as an isolated incident, but as yet another example of the growing threat of fascist terrorism across this country. In the past months and years we have seen similarly horrific attacks on mosques, and on hotels housing refugees as well. Responsibility for these crimes ultimately lies at the feet of the political and media class of this country, who are the common enemy of all the working class and oppressed, and whose attempts to divide and rule can only be fought by uncompromising, proactive solidarity.'
ALT Blue text on a black banner. The TLG logo (a pink, blue, and white phoenix on a pink star) is in the centre at the top. Alt text: 'A heinous act like this can only be motivated by fear and cowardice. But we are not intimidated by terrorism, and it will never drive us into submission. It can only harden our resolve – to fight for our own liberation and the liberation of all people; and to deliver meaningful justice against our genocidal ruling class. In Solidarity, TLG Interim Steering Committee'

The Trans Liberation Group has been disappointed with the trajectory of Your Party since the founding conference.

Instead, our members have decided that we will be establishing ourselves as an independent organisation, aiming to fill the void left by a lack of a nation-wide trans socialist organisation. The work of this organisation will involve continued interventions in Your Party where that seems productive, but will also involve working with people in other parties and no party at all, getting involved with the movement on the streets and starting to build the national trans movement we so desperately need at the moment.'
