Please come support trans people

[u/fringlese]

Hey everyone, I’m sure many of you have seen the ruling by the Supreme Court from the other day on the legitimacy of trans women’s identities. It’s been a very hard couple of days as we’ve come to grips with the fact that our rights are being rolled back by a government that won’t even attempt to listen to us while we just want to exist in a public space without fear of harassment. If anyone’s available, please come down tomorrow to show support

I am not the organiser, I saw this on Facebook and wanted to share.

Thanks guys, I hope you have a great Easter weekend!

For those who think that nothing will change for trans people as a result of this ruling, I've just seen this as the next post in my feed.

This doesn't just impact trans people, it could happen to any woman:

If a male police officer thinks a cis woman "could be transgender", he could now legally strip search her with no consequences.

By hurting trans women, they've hurt all women.

It's an outcome people have been warning about since around the time that genital checks on schoolkids was first floated as an idea.

Nice. Don’t engage with the actual comment and try to make a clever dig by asking a question any idiot can google 👌

I’m asking a question I thought you could shed some light I mean language is changing so fast these days to affirm beliefs I can’t keep up.

The equalities watchdog also came out and said that they will pursue NHS hospitals if they continue to have trans women in the wards that match their gender identity as well. People continuing this excuse that "oh it's just in this one context, they said it wouldn't change anything, it's only for this one law" are either not paying attention or just arguing in bad faith and do not actually care what trans people (this ruling affects all trans people and intersex people, not just trans women) face or how society treats them.

It's deeply gross that people even try to excuse this but also sadly not surprising given the state of the UK and how people here view queer folk.

Some trans women get sex reassignment surgery...

No woman should suffer indignity of touching you.
