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)
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.
Thanks for the informative reply! I was worried how my questions came off. I didn’t realise pink washing spanned to detention centres as well. Almost laughable if it wasn’t depressing.
