I was disappointed but not surprised to see the formation of the new anti-trans group, the LGB Alliance.

“This is an historic moment for the Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual movement. *LGB Alliance* launched in London tonight, and we mean business. Spread the word, gender extremism is about to meet its match.” Allison Bailey, a barrister at Garden Court Chambers tweeted about its launch. Her twitter states that she is “gender critical” and that “biological reality before gender identity”.
