“Scapegoating vulnerable people has always been a deliberate ploy by the government to distract from its own domestic failures.

Today, it might be #asylum seekers.

Tomorrow, it could be #disabled people.

The next day, #trans people.

Whatever the minority, we are witnessing the demonisation of vulnerable people, to the grave detriment of us all.”

#Starmer’s #Labour government has laid itself wide open to these criticisms by #Corbyn.

Because it has turned against each of these groups.

Video of myself in my bathroom, with my face blurred and the caption "Me, a 46y old NB transmasc discovering my chest after top surgery." In the video I'm removing the bandages to discover my newly made chest with 2 big scars and nipple grafts. I can't help crying with happiness when I finally look at myself.

The Trump's administration's bigotry towards trans/nb folx is now legally recognizable as a reason for Americans to be granted immigration consideration in Canada. This is de facto recognition of asylum claims. Meanwhile Americans have already begun to claim asylum, with cases working their way through the system. Canada accepts 250 annual LGBTQ+ asylum claims from various countries, but the US is a new source for claims.

Paul Preciado, trans philosopher and author from Spain, in his talk to the psychoanalyst congress at the Ecole de la Cause Freudienne in Paris, “Can the Monster Speak?”

‘All the things that are terrible and terrifying about transsexuality and gender transitioning are not found in the process of transition itself, but in the way in which the boundaries between the sexes punish and threaten to kill anyone who dares cross them. It is not gender transitioning that is horrifying and dangerous, but the regime of sexual difference.’
