If you’re able to make it to the State Library on the 31st, please come and show your support. There are a lot of awful things happening to trans people and it’s time we demand protection, the right to gender affirming care and an end to pink washing.
The 31st is the trans day of visibility, but we are now very visible and without protection that visibility is violence. We are done asking to be seen, we now demand to be safe.
(Mods pls remove if not allowed, I checked the guidelines and couldn’t find anything disallowing it)
Not trans so my opinion on the matter isn’t worth much but why lines 2,3 and four? What does communities not cops even mean? Communities will handle the spiralling gang war fuelled by illicit tobacco trade? Why not just a trans day of visibility that focuses on trans people/rights instead of that plus policing, indigenous issues and so on? At least two can be about trans people who are incarcerated I guess. Probably ignorant of me but I don’t know.
Intersectional justice is the answer. Often companies that sponsor pride also are responsible for detention centers. 20yrs ago I remember loads of my friends getting beaten up by cops. So it’s complicated but the idea of all oppressed people being interlinked by similar forms of oppression isn’t. Hope that’s somewhat helpful.
I’m wondering the same thing. What does any of this even mean? On the trans side of things what are they trying to get that they don’t already have? And why are they shoehorning in some deranged anarchism? The whole thing is a mess.
I assume more information will be announced on the Instagram page
Boo Instagram. I support the cause but I’m not signing up to IG.
