A pair of trans-exclusionary feminist protesters jumped the barriers and interrupted this year’s Auckland Pride march on the weekend, carrying an anti-trans sign at the front of the parade.

The two held a sign reading ‘Stop giving kids sex hormones, protect lesbian youth’, Express has reported.
[…]
The protestors followed up their appearance in the Pride parade with a press release.

“Organisations like RainbowYouth and InsideOut, as well as the Pride Parade, must stop endorsing medical experimentation, child abuse, sexist stereotyping, and the destruction of female-only and lesbian spaces,” said their statement.
[…]
Despite its place at the front of the Pride parade, the anti-trans protest has drawn little attention, though a few social media users have posted their criticism.
There are radicals everywhere including in the LGBT community, there are trans people who are homophobes and there transphobes in the LGB community, but there are so many more who support us.

I have met many great lesbian and gay people who go out of their way to support us. I work with many LGB people on committees, where I volunteer, and in my play.

I go to a lesbian game night with no problems, I am a member of lesbian science group, I have been to many parties with lesbians, gone to fundraisers by an international organization  gay organization who were raising donations for a trans organization.

So  please don’t condemn all lesbians and gays because the action of a few.
