Goldie Lookin Chain have a number, released as a single in 2004, called "Your Mother's Got a Penis" - which was criticised for being "offensive to transsexuals".

The first time I heard that, I was behind two old ladies, in Iceland. One of them was mumbling cheerfully along with the song, then belted out, "Your mother's got a penis!"

Agree

They hate being told NO

In German? Was it Sham 69 who did an English version of Hier Kommt Alex?

No, that was The Adicts, (single d) I thought they were the original, but after a chat with (almost certainly) Igneococcus, I learned that the Toten Hosen are much older than I'd realised.

What are they wanting to be liberated from?!

The tattered remains of their senses, I believe.

I saw the Maria Machlachan assault on another forum, before I was here. I was quite shocked that some posters minimised it, or claimed that she was the aggressor. They just lie shamelessly, they have nothing else.

I saw it in person. Several of the regular posters here did. It was awful. Then TRAs stood outside where we had the meeting and literally chanted “burn it down” outside.

And it was already a substitute venue, because they had made the first venue pull out.

First time I ever saw or heard of Janice Turner. She was standing back, leaning against the wall, and watched the whole thing

i'll have to look, I'm sure a band i've heard of had done Alex in English. Campino is a bit older than me i think (deffo over 60)

That's pretty evident by their notable absence on trans rights demos. They're just piggybacking another cause as usual

Then TRAs stood outside where we had the meeting and literally chanted “burn it down” outside.

That's just so awful and as so often, the Police stood by and did nothing. Unlike last year's riots.

Piggybacking? You are excessively generous. It's another incidence of forced teaming.

Those chants make them sound unhinged 🙄

Does seem like that!

Probably really late to this, but here’s where you can see about prepayment certificates for HRT www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/help-nhs-prescription-costs/nhs-hormone-replacement-therapy-prescription-prepayment-certificate-hrt-ppc

I agree.

It is disappointing when it is women minimising

Didn't some photos emerge over the last few years of lots of cross dressing nazis?

I didn't see them on a GC website or SM. I think it was somewhere more mainstream like the bbc or a history website.

That undermined the idea of nazis persecuting trans people.

@cariadlet Was it this?

It was mostly gay men who were persecuted as homosexuality was a criminal offence, but cross dressing was not. So the "trans" people were mostly gay transvestites.

@Lark1ane
Yes, that's it. I read an article somewhere about that book.
