The perversion of language there is terrifying. That words such as 'women don't have penises' or 'trans women are male' become converted into or regarded as death threats against them

Responding to the images, Sarah Brown, a member of Stonewall’s Trans Advisory Group and a trans woman, told PinkNews: “These stickers are puerile and disgusting . There is a strong push to demonise trans women in the UK and I really worry where it’s going.” (continues)
"Owl, a non-binary trans activist and filmmaker, condemned those behind the stickers, telling PinkNews: “This is comparable to teenagers trying to be funny and drawing penises everywhere – it’s incredibly immature, childish and just ridiculous . It just continues to show that this these fringe groups of ‘activists’ are desperate and slowly unraveling with their ‘activism.’
“I have yet to find another group of people than anti-trans bigots that are as obsessed with genitals as these people are. It’s honestly really sad that they fall into these incredibly binary ways of obsessing over trans people’s bodies and enforce harmful stereotypes about gender, sex and bodies.”
(Fox Fisher) “The support we are getting is incredibly important, as we don’t have the same resources as many of the anti-trans bigots and access to the media as they do and these are one of the only ways we can raise awareness.
“We’re constantly being put into a reactionary position against bigots, and we never get to speak in the media without being in response or literally sitting across from someone who thinks we are self-hating lesbians that mutilated our bodies, perverts, abusers or a danger to children.”
"A Stonewall spokesperson told PinkNews: “A movement of lesbians is currently using the hashtag #LwiththeT to reject the views of a small but vocal minority who are determined to create division . What this movement shows is the power of solidarity and why it’s so important to stand up against hate .
“We’re encouraging everyone from across the community and beyond to be fierce allies . We’re also strongly encouraging everyone to fill in the government’s public consultation on the Gender Recognition Act so that we can achieve acceptance without exception. We have a responsibility to raise each other up and to stand united. Together we are stronger.” (continues)
