Sadly some of the posts show a special kind of ignorance and considering some of you don't want politics rammed down your throats, I find it odd that you've come on to a post promoting the free organisation of LGBT+ supporters and banged on about "lefties", BLM, etc
We have never set out for "special treatment", I find it baffling that there are objections to this. While initially the objections seemed to be only people not understanding why we are here, it very quickly descended into tired and dated tropes labelling LGBT+ people as sexual predators. If anything it reflects worse on the posters on here that you're sexualising basic bodily functions like going to the toilet. Trans women will continue to use the toilet they feel most safe in, as they are legally entitled to.
.
What about women and kids who feel threatened by trans women?
Trans women's existence is a threat to nobody. Of course you'll find exceptions but it's a tired-assed trope to label all trans women as sexual predators based on the actions of a very tiny minority. It's the same shit that's been used against gay and bisexual men over the years and it's just totally false.
No it’s not, firstly I’m not suggesting all trans people are wrong uns and second gay men were not invading women only areas. I think you’ve got St George syndrome, all the major social justice battles have been won, gay rights, woman’s rights and equality for black people are all enshrined in British Law. You’ve killed the dragon however you’ve still got your horse, sword and Lance but there’s no dragons left to slay. If someone has surgery to have their genitals removed at least they are serious about it, just sticking a ribbon in your hair and saying I identify as a woman should not allow you to access to women only areas. You talk about safe spaces surely women and kids deserve their safe space?
