“Today’s episode argues that mainstream gay and lesbian organisations have historically marginalised and abandoned transgender people in the pursuit of assimilation into existing power structures. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, traces this pattern from the Stonewall Riots to the present day, highlighting instances where trans individuals were excluded from movements and legislation despite their crucial contributions to queer liberation. They contend that the current silence from these organisations in the face of attacks on trans rights is not a surprise but a predictable outcome of this long-standing pattern of neglect. They conclude by advocating for a trans-led movement for liberation, independent of mainstream LGBTQ+ institutions.”Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/why-are-trans-people-being-abandonedLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
