The Victorian Greens reject any views that erase or deny a person’s gender identity, and recognise that those views can and do cause deep harm to trans and gender diverse people. Those views are not consistent with Greens policy. We are steadfastly committed to trans and gender-diverse rights - in our policies, in our values and in our votes.
We will continue to work alongside our trans members and the broader trans community to safeguard their right to feel safe and supported both in our party, and in this country. The Greens are proud of our track record as the strongest advocates for trans rights at all levels of parliament, including being the only party to vote against the Federal Religious Discrimination Bill.
We will always fight for trans rights - and all LGBTIQA+ community rights - to live free from discrimination, have autonomy over their bodies, and have access to holistic and comprehensive health services.
The Greens believe healthcare is a human right, and are taking our plan to include gender-affirming healthcare as a permanent part of Medicare to the 2022 Federal election.
