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.
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.
