LGB Alliance

The Alliance opposes proposed legislation in the Scottish Parliament to change the process of gender recognition such that legally recognised gender be based only on self-identification rather than biological sex or a medical diagnosis and process, and reduce the age of access from 18 to 16.[9]

The group took out adverts in Scotland to campaign against the Scottish government’s plan to reform the Gender Recognition Act stating that the GRA reform would create a “gender free-for-all” and is “a law that could be exploited by predatory men who wish to hurt women and girls”.[10] Complaints to UK’s advertising watchdog the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) were dismissed, although it issued the group with an "Advice Notice", advising that the messages could be “potentially misleading”.[10][11]

The Alliance supports compulsory relationships and sex education (in Scotland termed "Relationships, Sexual Health and Parenthood Education"), but says that the concept of gender identity is being taught as fact despite what Alliance representatives claim to be its lack of a scientific basis. They also allege that the materials being provided to schools are produced by campaign groups rather than people with any relevant qualifications in education or science and that the materials violate principles of safeguarding by instructing teachers to conceal childrens' expressed desires to transition from their parents.[12] The Alliance refers to this manner of teaching gender identity as "potentially harmful propaganda".[12]

The group have also said that lesbians face “extinction” because of “disproportionate focus on transgenderism in schools".[13]

The group opposes pharmaceutical treatment of children with gender dysphoria who are patients of The Gender Clinic at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust which offers Gender Identity Development Services (GIDS) to children. The group's opposition is about child safety concerns and accuses the clinic of “transing out the gay”.[13][14]
