LGB Alliance was set-up NOT to support LGB people, but to attack trans people, help strip them of rights and to thwart any progress they might make.
And I expect many people here know that, and support those aims.
What rights are being denied?
Trans people have, and should have, protection from discrimination and abuse based on trans status. Nobody decent thinks that should change. They are one of the safest demographics in this country; the murder rate, contra to endless assertion, is about half the average. Why people are invested in lying to trans people about this and telling terrifying lies of a world out to kill them, I don't pretend to know. I do agree that casual transphobia is likely to be common, and that in eg employment and housing there will be real challenges. I agree that it's important that trans people have effective advocacy in these areas, and I also believe that the same violent and aggressive men invested in controlling women, and policing sexuality, will be a threat to trans people. To that extent, women, gay people and trans people all do have a common source of risk, and that should be an area for co-operation and shared goals. But we're never offered that. We're not asked to support shelters for trans women - which almost all women I know would. Instead, we're told we have no right to single sex spaces, free of male bodies. We're told lesbians who don't accept 'girl dick' have no excuse unless they've been raped, in which case they should seek therapy to overcome that trauma and open their minds. This is simple homophobia, and it's foul. And yet you see no reason for separate LGB advocacy? Seriously?
Trans people have their own advocacy and support groups, as of course is appropriate. Women, and gay people, have that same right. Your claims were put to The Charity Commission, who found them specious and unfounded. As I suspect you very well know. You are the one trying to strip others of rights - the sex-based rights women and gay people currently have under the Equality Act. You are literally describing the removal of the protection women and gay people have in law as 'progress'. You are asserting male supremacy, and homophobia, and calling it progress, and arguing that those who oppose that loss of rights and protections are hateful... because we do not centre male people who are opposite-sex attracted.
It is not hateful to recognise the impact of biological sex in areas where it matters. Transition can only ever be social; the risks and advantages of original biology do not change substantially - transwomen pose a male, and not a female, risk to women - and it's completely legitimate of women to need and expect a right to single sex provision in areas where that matters. And if you think it is hateful for gay people to want to protect their right to be same sex attracted, then you are asserting homophobia. As the Guardian did, when sending a lesbian on a blind date with a male person without warning her, because that male feels that they have a woman's gender identity, so they felt opposite sex dating didn't need the lesbian's consent. And you see no problem here? None at all?
Nobody should suffer any harm or abuse or discrimination due to trans status; it's rightly against the law. It's also protected law that in some contexts, sex matters. Women and gay people have legal protection in those relevant areas, too. Yet you want those rights stripped from us, and you call any attempt to prevent that hateful.
I don't want anyone to lose rights. That's your position.
