Happy Pride Month! Instead of just buying stuff, go get involved!

From last year and about Britain, but even more valid today

The Guardian are at it again

Stonewall is at centre of a toxic debate on trans rights and gender identity | Transgender | The Guardian

(This is about Stonewall the activism group, not the riots)

There is a campaign to erase trans people from Pride in the UK right now, downplaying the Cooper Do-nuts riot and the Compton’s Cafeteria riot and trans involvement at Stonewall. The hypocrites who are only about LGB (and in practice not the B, transphobia and biphobia go hand in hand in the gay community) would still be paying bribes to cops if it wasn’t for trans people.

When I first saw this I thought it was the same article as the one I linked to in my last comment. It’s not and its worse.

Stonewall risks all it has fought for in accusing those who disagree with it of hate speech | Sonia Sodha | The Guardian

In a time when it seems like every British trans person who hasn’t just transitioned has their own story of experiencing TER hatred, it does no good to tone police us.

But this is more than that. While tone policing trans people and Stonewall, Sonia Sodha uses the language of TERs to dehumanise us. It’s not just her, it seems to be a common statement from the Labour party that they need more “real” people to join the party. Are they having a problem with sockpuppet memberships? No. What they mean is they want more Christian white cis-het people to join. It is not enough to be working class, or from the North of England, both of which apply to me. Labour is heading down the path of National Socialism, and not for the first time (Never forget that Oswald Mosley and Robert Kilroy-Silk were both Labour MPs). When I say we need to get rid of Keir Starmer, it is not me being bitter about Corbyn, he was only the best option that was offered, nothing more. The future of the party depends on it.

And that’s just the left leaning organisations!

Britain is becoming a legitimately fascist country, and it is not my fault. “You made me hit you” is an old classic line from abusive relationships, and it is always bullshit. Trans people were among the first people to be targeted by the Nazis, our history, our research was the first put into the pyres at the Nazi book burnings. I genuinely fear that it will happen again, and because I do not have a national newspaper to print my words everything I have written here will be for nothing.

We need to fight like our lives depend on it, because they literally do!
