I should've known better than to ask for as a Christmas wish that we trans women and transpeeps in general get a quiet, transphobia free holiday.But hey, I had to wish for something other than for myself while sitting on Santa's lap..
So it looks like we'll have another transphobic Christmas in which the haters come out to play and we are already mourning the death of one of our sisters before the arrival of December 25, much less Kwanzaa and Hanukkah.
Bah humbug.i.
Courtesy of the longtime haters employed by the Family Research Council, spokesgrinches Peter Sprigg and Craig James (yes Texas peeps,the former SMU running back mate of Eric Dickerson), parted their lips to propose a constitutional amendment to ban recognition of gender reassignment.
Nope peeps, this is not an Onion holiday headline, these paid haters actually came up with this jacked up idea.
The Transphobic Oppressors proposed this idea during a recent episode of Washington Watch in which James stated that transgender rights issues will have to be the next ones the Religious Reich combats in their 'war against the LGBT community.'Sprigg then piled on with his suggestion that conservatives may need to consider a constitutional amendment regulating gender identity to being fixed at birth.
Not no, but hell no...
So word to the wise transperson. Stealth status will not protect you from the evil the conservative movement wants to do to you and transkind. If you are a conservative identified transperson, better wake up and stop voting GOP because your wallet doesn't trump my human rights.
And it's unfortunately another example of cis folks hatin' on us for the holidays, and why our inclusion in proposed or existing human rights laws is necessary.
On
Monday’s edition of “Washington Watch,” James explained how transgender
rights issues will likely be the next issue that the Religious Right
will have to “combat in this war that we’re on with the LGBT community.”
