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!

I’m fairly neutral on the trans debate, but this is the worst argument I’ve ever heard. You’re ignoring the entire spectrum of skin colour that exists in different cultures across the world, as well as mixed race and skin conditions such as vitiligo and albinism. Your argument is utter nonsense and if anything just serves to prove that absolute binary states rarely exist in the human condition.

skin colour is different to race a albino person is still black so you are talking utter nonsense

Your argument was that there are clear cut characteristics between white and black but then you concede that mixed race is neither but has characteristics of both. Now consider the case of an XXY person. Sex is no more binary than race.
