Content warning: This story includes an incident of explicit transphobia that could make some readers feel uncomfortable. Comedian Jen Ives has released a video showing extreme transphobic abuse she received while attending a conference held by the LGB Alliance.
The LGB Alliance, which was formed in 2019, has continuously used its platform to “assert the rights of lesbians, bisexuals and gay men to define themselves as same-sex attracted” while excluding trans individuals.
It held its event at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in London on 21 October last year, which was attended by the likes of gender-critical Labour MP Rosie Duffield and comedian Graham Linehan, who has likened using puberty blockers to Nazi eugenics programmes.
Guests saw panel discussions on topics about what they perceived to be the threat of “transgender ideology” and the importance of “free speech”.
