UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

We’re too smart and abortion rights are too embedded and socially accepted for the ADF to succeed here, say guys who’ve uncritically promoted anti-trans activists funded by the same people and using the same lawyers for a decade

Due to unforeseen circumstances and poor health (I’m on the mend), I’ve not been as active as usual.

However, I will be helping to facilitate the Rainbow Greens discussion on relations with the Green Party of England & Wales tomorrow evening.

Hope to see you there!

I will be voting against any motion for the Scottish Greens to work with Your Party

Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana.bsky.social · 2d

Great discussion at TWT on how the left must unite — Your Party and the Greens — to keep Farage out of Downing Street.

But unity isn’t uniformity. Your Party will be truly anti-imperialist: no diplomatic ties with a genocidal, apartheid Israeli state and no greenwashing NATO.

Join us: yourparty.uk

Meeting on Tuesday for the Rainbow Greens to discuss this very thing. As with everything in politics the process is slow though

They also argue for seperatism from men including giving up male children and becoming 'political lesbians' and features quite a few of the current 'gender critical' movement

Following the trans action in Brighton last night in protest of the deeply transphobic FiLiA organisation, I encourage everyone to watch this video (originally created for BBC) where Julie Bindel and other ‘gender critical’ transphobes admit to violence and arson!

Bindel is a hypocrite!

Just the whole "protect the dolls" thing. I am not a doll but a real human being..... Heck I'm definitely not even the most feminine woman

Men like Piers Morgan have found women in trans women who it is socially acceptable to abuse.

Every time they do this stuff they are telling you how they'd treat cis women if they could get away with it.

Not the same. Scottish Labour as an example are not a separate party from Labour. The Scottish Greens are not a branch of Green Party of England and Wales which is obvious from the name.

I'm suggesting the op used UK when in fact should have said England and Wales

An excellent new article outlining all that is wrong with the Cass Review, condemning its harmful impact on UK policy and practice, and calling it a failure of evidence-based medicine. Written by those involved in trans children's healthcare in Australia.
