Slide 1:

CARDIFF MARCH FOR TRANS LIBERATION
CHANT SHEET

Butches femmes, bottoms tops, everybody hates the cops

No justice, no peace! No racist police!

Oink oink piggy piggies! You’re not welcome in our city!

Kier Starmer - blood on your hands!
Wes Streeting - blood on your hands!
UK Labour - blood on your hands!
NHS - blood on your hands!
Hillary Cass - blood on your hands!

History will recall, Wes Streeting did nothing at all!

Wes Streeting/Kier Starmer’s a wasteman!

Slide 2:

CARDIFF MARCH FOR TRANS LIBERATION
CHANT SHEET

No borders, No nations- trans liberation!

Say it louder say it clear! Transphobia ain’t welcome here!

The queers united will never be defeated!

UK Government you’re all cowards! We the queers have the power!

We are the revolution! fuck transphobic institutions!

Give us hormones, give us love, rainbow logos are not enough!

not the courts, not the state, we decide our own fate!

HRT, HRT, over the counter and for free!

How many more have to die, before you stand up and fight?

Slide 3:

CARDIFF MARCH FOR TRANS LIBERATION
CHANT SHEET

1 - We are the queers
2 - We won’t be silent
3 - Trans liberation now now now!

We will not be quiet! Stonewall was a riot!

Fck your system, fck your hate, we are not here for debate!

We’re here, we’re queer, shove transphobia up your rear!

When trans women are under attack, what do we do?
Stand up fight back.

When trans kids are under attack, what do we do? Stand up fight back.

Slide 4:

CARDIFF MARCH FOR TRANS LIBERATION
CHANT SHEET

We will honour all our martyrs
All the children, sons and daughters
We will honour all our martyrs
All the parents, mothers fathers

The women of Gaza are revolutionary!

One struggle, one fight - Palestine, trans rights!'

What do they want to be liberated from exactly?

It's not entirely clear. Reality?

For the sake of balance, I will add that the comments on FB from trans allies and trans people are in the majority not supportive of these chants.

Hamas will be surprised to learn that they are now trans rights activists, I imagine.

Kier Starmer - blood on your hands!
Wes Streeting - blood on your hands!
UK Labour - blood on your hands!
NHS - blood on your hands!
Hillary Cass - blood on your hands!

As a brought up Catholic, I laughed at this Litany of the Saints.
Tell me you’re a religion without saying The Church of Judith Butler and Modern Day Saints- Pray for us.

I recognise the "HRT, HRT, Over the counter and for free," chant.
There was a group of Antifa wannabes (all male) who decided to lead the chanting at the Brighton Women's March. This was one of theirs.

It is noticeable that there is no line “When transmen are under attack/at risk of losing their rights…”

Liberation from the unbearable burden of a country that has bent over backwards to indulge their every whim?

Hopefully these nutters come out in force and show their true colours like their London counterparts on Saturday. I’d like to see the whole of wales get peaked

Very reminiscent of Edinburgh Action for Trans Health manifesto. Olden but golden. https://www.tumblr.com/edinburghath/163521055802/trans-health-manifesto

Liberation from the bigoted shackles of scansion, I think.

One struggle one fight Palestine and trans rights . Oh dear...

I haven't heard of the women of Gaza fighting for trans rights. Ever

And Keir Satermer is a wasteman.

Why are they using roadman slang?
I'm sure there aren't many of these TW in that particular community

Well, if their goal is to prove to everyone that they're completely insane, then they're going exactly the right way about it.

I can’t get HRT!

Are they trying to get HRT specifically for themselves? Or can we all have access to it?

Somebody should ask Keir Starmer how sitting on the fence is working out for him.

Exactly what sprung to mind.

Alleged author of that ATH gem Harry Josie Giles was in Edinburgh at the weekend chanting "give us wombs and give us titties', btw.

I am so glad of all the sunshine. Let these activists be heard loud and clear.

Of course the NHT has blood on its hands 😆

Yes, was going to say same! I think it was in part drafted by Harry Josephine Giles, who was prominent at one of the Scottish protests on Sat. If you read something Giles wrote called “Wages for Transition” you will recognise the style. https://hjosephinegiles.medium.com/wages-for-transition-dce2b246b9b7

We crossed @ArabellaScott

OK, I clicked on the link. Could not get past the first few lines. You'd think that amount of navel-gazing would have put his back out.

So they want free HRT which they don't need and I, a perimenopausal woman, have to pay for?
Trust men to push ahead again, what next...new chant "give us free tampons"?

I think a lot of menopausal women would like free HRT.

Or any HRT at all.

This is ridiculous

In Wales. But not one chant in Welsh.

We’re here, we’re queer, shove transphobia up your rear!

Sorry, that one made me laugh.

Well they’ve certainly encompassed a lot of topics and causes, I’ll give them that
