By Trans Pride Southampton.
Trans Pride Southampton stands in solidarity with the queer community in the USA. Who are facing growingly more blatant hostility towards particular trans people. We never thought we’d have to say this so quickly, but we must assert it is in no way fraudulent for one to embrace their queer identity and transition.
We also send our thoughts to Hungary, who has recently banned Pride events to combat “woke ideology”. Pride is a protest, and it can be a celebration of battles already won – we wish the queer communities in Hungary the best in this new battle to overcome.
These sentiments regarding queer people, or “wokeness”, are already rife in the UK. Our media already floods people with the statement being trans is an “ideology “ – we assert this has never been the case, trans people have always existed and is only political because we are politicised by the hatred and ignorance we face.
