Lilmonzter 2,864 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Activists are protesting a group that wants to drop the T from LGBT Trans solidarity groups are holding a demo against the new organisation LGB Alliance, calling it out as transphobic Since the Stonewall Riots in 1969, when trans women of colour led an LGBTQ+ backlash against police persecution in New York, and maybe even beyond, lesbian, gay, bi and trans people have stood in solidarity with one another. The reasons for this are clear; “non-normative” sexualities and gender expression have historically been similarly punished, and social movements stand stronger together. Plus of course, many LGB people are genderqueer, and many trans people identify their sexual orientation as LGB as well as T (Munroe Bergdorf, SOPHIE and Gigi Gorgeous to name just a few examples). On top of this, support for trans rights is more needed than ever. Just last week, a new report conducted by anti-bullying organisation Ditch the Label and digital intelligence company Brandwatch was released, revealing that over 1.5 million transphobic posts were found online over the three and a half year period in the UK and US. Perhaps all of this is why the LGB Alliance has received extreme backlash across social media since its announcement, and why the organisation has been labelled transphobic and a “hate group” by the very people it claims to stand for: lesbians, gays and bisexuals. The hashtag “#myLGBTfamily” has been started in opposition to the group’s formation. Trans hate is so real, I'm with my transgender brothers and sisters! I can't believe that hate has percolated into our communities too, we're better than this! We are stronger together always Sing C'est la vie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
latikofficial 829 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 this will never take off, considering that trans people have been the catalyst of most queer liberation movements. they'd be lost without us Spoiler uwu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOVEDRUG 11,269 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 i understand the reason why many would want to separate the LGB from the trans community, since overall we don't share a whole lot of experiences, sexuality and gender are two very separate issues. however, i don't have any issue with the trans community being part of the LGBT+ community, minorities like us need to stand together and trans people deserve rights just as much as anyone else! i stand with trans people "through all the tears and all the lies, i'm gonna dance until i feel alright" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

derpmonster 22,412 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Ignore them, they drink. We can't late hatred divide us. They wanna exclude trans people because that's where the GP is still struggling to support. Guess what? The trans community was here for the gays' struggle. A trans woman Marsha Johnson fought for gay liberation in the US. It's our turn now. Please. Check out iTunes data & graphs at CHARTPOP.live Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it just shows that people can go through bad stuff and still not recognise they do to others what's been done to them. So sad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
