Solidarity with Helen Steel

Last weekend, Helen Steel was forced off a protest walk across moors at a camp organised by the Land Justice Network. This happened not because of anything that Helen had done or said at the actual camp, but because some trans-allies objected to views she had previously expressed regarding the impact of gender identity theory on women’s rights. She was told that a decision had been made prior to the camp starting that she would not be welcome. Although Helen had been at the camp from the first day, she was only told she wasn’t welcome after the ‘action’ ramble had left the camp – leaving her to walk back across the moor alone. Fortunately two comrades walked in solidarity with her, one of them (like Helen) a founder member of the Land Justice Network.

This has to stop. It is time to make up your mind. Do you really think Helen Steel is a bigot?

Even if we disagree with some of her views, wouldn't you agree that her motivation is not hatred, but her experiences of sexism and wanting to dismantle it?

We need to talk about this.

It is time to speak up.

Helen is a hero and as far removed from being a bigot as it is possible to me. Those people who shun her are equal to fascist dictators, AFIC. Loved her response, which is reproduced here: www.peaktrans.org/#ftoc-heading-1

Solidarity with Helen. I can't believe any activist with half a brain thinks it could ever be justified to treat Helen like this. WTF is their activism about? Like the PP says, this is fascist behaviour.

Helen is not a bigot.

Trans people are as valid, real and valued as anyone else. Holding her (very normal) beliefs on gender in no way negates the validity of trans people!

Do Christians expressing their beliefs deny the validity of Muslim people? No! We can have different beliefs and still respect each other.

Things are getting absolutely crazy.
