Anyone else’s work celebrating trans week/day of remembrance?

Is that the ones that have fallen over due to trying to walk in heels when they're not used to it? Just going by the vastly reduced chance that trans people have of being murdered compared to pretty much everyone else

Yep we are too. Apparently, it's trans awareness week and there will be a remembrance day to remember all the fallen trans people.

It's mental. I just completely ignore

@yetanotherusernameAgain
imagine getting referred to prevent for your “belief tree” decoration (& won’t anyone think of the Italians in all this?!)

Might I suggest you go for a NUWSS [style] tree using red white & green. Nobody will challenge your innocent tree with red for blood donation; white for peace & green for the environment.

@NitroNine - God no! It will probably be mistaken for the colours of the Palestinian flag and OP will be accused of making a political statement a la M&S-burning-Christmas-hats-in-the-fire-grate furore.

My work is celebrating the week and issued a very American based document explaining it and one from stonewall.

It enraged me so much that I can't even think about the nonsense.

@JaxiiTaxii PLEASE! Do it anonymously!

But the temptation to cause a stink and make a point by doing a green & purple GC belief decoration is strong.

Oh dear God @JaxiiTaxii you have to!!!

Christ on a unicycle @JaxiiTaxii (do hope that ends up on the tree somewhere; juggling loaves & fishes obvi) that’s asking for trouble isn’t it?

Is this some sort of “we mustn’t have a Christmas Tree in case we offend people” absurdity?

The potential is limited only by the craft supplies provided. Might I suggest you go for a NUWSS [style] tree using red white & green. Nobody will challenge your innocent tree with red for blood donation; white for peace & green for the environment. If you incorporate the acorn, “from little acorns mighty oaks will grow” 😁

EDIT: obviously you shouldn’t have to sneak a belief in women’s rights onto the tree, but if it’s going to ensure no “accidents” happen & you don’t have to deal with nonsense from anyone (in this, the week of trans remembrance! How could you?!) it might be easier/safer? Even with Forstater.

I think against the backdrop of what's going on in the Middle East, this is going to fall flat with most people. Look at Sadiq Khan and the ratio on this. 1300 people liked, 16 million views. Roughly 8 people in every 100k.

Remember the rights that TRAs are taking from us? The children harmed by harmful so-called ‘gender affirming’ treatments? Remembering the lack of freedom of speech, including on MN where even now we cannot speak the truth? Remembering the things I would get deleted for if I wrote them here…

Go for it Jaxii

We've got belief week. I wonder if that's the 'lite' version? Unusual because my work is a hotbed of wokeness.

Theres a box of craft resources and we have been asked to make a decoration for the belief tree 🤓

I mean. Its oddly sweet in an organisation that takes itself extremely seriously.

But the temptation to cause a stink and make a point by doing a green & purple GC belief decoration is strong.

It just proves how little self awareness these folks actually have whilst they wallow in their own faux oppression.

Wow! Not exactly lots of brave people sacrificing themselves for my liberty unless I’m missing something here?!

The frightening thing is that somewhere, in someone’s head, this actually feels real and makes sense.

You have my sympathy xx

I've seen a "day of remembrance minute's silence" advertised in another dept's Woke Officer's email signature. For all the many, many trans people who've been killed in the UK this year.
