transi went to a event yestoday with stonewall youth and was angry at the lack of trans inclusion i recorded (not sure on the legality though is in the public interest as stonewall receive public money) the speaches that were made

stonewall is a charity dealing with lgb rights it fails to deal with trans rights. they insist that the two are not linked, i beg to differ in the file that i have uploaded to omplayer they have three speakers, the last is very interesting and useful to proving that trans is linked to sexual orientation, ie a butch lesbien faces issues that trans people face "yeah i get thrown out of toilets due to what i wear occasionally" as does a gay male who is effeminate.
i really want to see stonewall change to be more inclusive lgb +t whats stonewall without a t sonewall...
like your views on how i should argue the case
in the summing up a worker made a snide remark about how "yuck a man and a woman kissing thats disgusting so old fashioned" i am sick of hearing this type of hetro-phobic remark from orginisations that claim to be for equality. how to show them that the two issues are linked (ie transphobia and homophobia due to perseption)

on tuesday i met face to face with ben summerskill and discussed this issue, he was very tierd looking and didnt seem to have actually read the equality bill, (after that goes through they will have taken away peoples rights to harrassment so kids will get bullied in schools and stuff and people in there workplace, legally)
my beef with stonewall is that they haven't read the bill they are merley happy with it see
http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200809/cmpublic/equality/090602/am/90602s01.htm
interestingly as a side note there was a round table eeting that a mate gatecrashed and witnessed a unanimous agreement to agree gender identity o be included in the equality bill not transsexual \o/ this make my life easy got to work on agender though they were against the idea (i berated them on saturday too over this issue and they looked scared stonewall say "you have the right to not be bullied at work..." i interupt "yeah that would be the sex discrimination act 1975 ammendments 2005 sexual orientation but not uch longer they are repealing those soon in favour of the equality bill - stonewall seem happy with that too" stonewall say "no, no your wrong... next question"
god they looked terrified lol so i followed it up with the thing about gender "cheznee said in her speech that she gets thrown out of toilets due to the way she dresses, i used to get thrown out of loos occasionally and many others do for instance pride london, does stonewall not see fit to campain on these issues as they are crossing the equality strands" stonewall say "no no i would argue hard against that statment" so i think to myself hmm she got thrown out cus she was a lesbian an people last year got thrown out cus they were looking like dykes? waaaah? i left it and they threw me out with the others and they seemed to be unable to handle my questions and shocked by my statements. lolz gotta love stonewall they are fun to barrate
