If you pay close attention to the thread, you've likely noticed that lesbians are strongly represented in it

That's because a common bad faith move by GC transphobes is to try and wave away attacks on gay men's rights as not being because they are gay but because they are MALE
Despite my conscious effort to over-represent examples with lesbians in the thread, I STILL get responses like this
from GCers who don't bother to read the thread when examples from it are linked Image

An argument used by the LGB Alliance et al is that modern trans people are "transing" historical figures

That Queens were REALLY homosexuals - not transsexuals. But they ignore that the distinction between homosexuals and transsexuals was not nearly as clean as they assert \1
Daily News (New York, New York), 1970-08-23

"Queen: Most feminine type of homosexual. See himself as a female. Plays feminine role in sexual relations. He's the caricature of a normal woman."

\2 butch: Male or masculine-type homosexual. He has aggressive
The Atlanta Constitution (Atlanta, Georgia), 1966-01-07

'1. The "narcissistic" homosexual is "nelly . . . swishy." He is effeminate and identifies himself as a woman. His emotions stopped maturing at a very early age.'

A question

LGB Alliance now contends that Gary Powell was not a founder of their organization, apparently on the theory that because his name doesn't appear on the officers list at founding, he isn't a founder

Despite having been involved in the launch and pre-launch

I was digging through the historical records for Stonewall and found their 1989 incorporation document. Simon Fanshawe doesn't appear in it anywhere. He was appointed as an officer in *1997*

A newspaper article on Oct 29, 1993 mentions him and Stonewall...but separately \2
I DID find a document listing him as being PRESENT at the January 29, 1989 meeting of the Stonewall Group - pre-incorporation

This week's transphobic talking point is "there is barely any trans hate crime in the UK"

And, as usual, it is complete bollocks \1
They are conflating *CONVICTIONS* with *CRIMES*

The problem is that they are orders of magnitude different because the UK is absolute shite at *prosecuting* hate crimes against trans people \2
Population surveys indicate hate crimes against trans people are obscenely common in the UK
