FIVE DEMANDS NOT ONE LESS

I hesitate before posting as I'm not entirely sure if this is a wind up. But here is an anonymous website with dates and times of forthcoming protest marches, and five 'demands' (not one less!) that look, er, utterly reasonable... Hmm


5 KEY DEMANDS:

  1. There will be granted no new ability for anyone to discriminate on the basis of Gender Identity and Expression/Gender Transition. This is our key demand.


  1. The clause in the proposed amendment prohibiting conversion therapy must go ahead and must provide a ban on conversion therapy for both sexual orientations and gender expression/transition. This must include Non-Binary people.


  1. The conservative government must release a statement apologising for the way they have treated transgender and non-binary people and also must apologise for even suggesting such an amendment be implemented.


  1. Elizabeth Truss must either be removed or step down as Minister for Women and Equalities and must never assume the role for the rest of her life.


  1. A government department for the advancement of the rights and quality of life of transgender and non-binary people specifically must be created and consulted. We also must not lose our representation in the Government Equalities Office.


​5 demands, not one less.

but never a Secretary of State (cabinet attending) for families.

Boris would struggle to pull the job description together I fear

They're doing this on Lewis? Would no place else give them a permit?

LOL at the demands. Sure, mate, they're going to remove a government minister and create a new government department just because a handful of you march around on an island being annoying.

Ah, wait, this is in "Lewes"? No clue where that even is, at least Lewis is a known place...

Lewes IS close to Brighton, maybe that's it?

Isn’t Lewes a ‘quaint’ old village type place?

Liz Truss should be removed and never be in that job again for the rest of her life?🤣😂🤣😂

I mean, you can just see the folded arms on the 6 year old, demanding that 'nobody be friends with Liz Truss Ever Again!!!!!!'

Lewes is where they go proper fucking nuts with Guy Fawkes night and it's all a bit 1600's style if you're a Catholic, tbh.

That article, has a call to action very early on:

I call on you, no matter how you identify to take to the streets and show the government just how much of a fight we're willing to give.

Three people turned up was it?

There was a cabinet minister for families between 2007 and 2010: the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families. For much or most of that time,IIRC, the post was filled by Ed Balls, who was an extremely powerful figure in the Brown government.

This just made me laugh all over again, from the Trans Health Manifesto:
"We demand resources for hair removal anywhere on our bodies, and the option of local anesthetic during these procedures. "

They have nicked their slogan from the protests in Hong Kong?

Is there nothing they won't repurpose for themselves

Colonizers and appropriators gonna colonize and appropriate. It's not like there's anything else to base their "movement" on.

Once again with the making it clear that they don't give a shit about transmen, too. Why would they want all their body hair removed?
