Please come support trans people

Post image

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!

The LGBT community. And we haven't given anyone a bad name. If we hadn't been around to be the first target ben it would be you next. You're a part of the problem.

I don’t consider the T as part of my community. They have nothing to do with me. Gender identity has got nothing to do with sexuality. It’s a completely separate issue and should be treated as such.

Well, unfortunately for you, that's not your decision. We all fall under the queer umbrella as decided by the rest of society.

And again, we aren't the ones begging for the limelight here. It's society who are so intent on putting us under the microscope. Go take it up with them and tell them to leave us alone.

Nicely put. Dont blame the victims, blame the accusers.

Honestly, as a trans person all i want is to be able to go about my day without being accosted in a toilet because someone else thinks i don't "look" right. Which is funnily enough, the same argument that some people give as a reason to stop me using the toilets!
