  1. I read the entire article and nowhere do they specify what threats they received or from whom. Ironically their own badges threaten violence like ‘punch a nazi’ with a smiling knuckle duster and ‘be trans, do crimes’.

    Bizarre.

  2. >Mx Bell said the “shocking” level of trans healthcare “continues to get worse”, including long wait lists for public services and private services becoming more difficult to find.

    So the same problems everyone else has, with healthcare.

  3. The term “far right” seems to get thrown around more and more it seems to a point where it’s lost the meaning of what it was initially referring to.

    Now every second person with an alternative view is a far right extremist

  4. Fair play to em, it’s a shame i couldn’t make it down, lovely weather for it

  5. You have two group’s of people marching and highlighting issues that are important to them both regarding how our government implements their policies around certain issues.

    One group is seen as ” far – right” the other as justified.

  6. Great to see so many people coming together to support freedom of speech and traditional family values like love and respect for your fellow human beings.

  7. I love that they still carry the totally unrelated Palestine flags. It’s like they semi-understand their activism.

  8. The state of these comments gives me all the reason I need for why marches like these continue to be essential.

  9. As sad as it is to see stupid people on here arguing about things they know nothing about and can’t be arsed to research. It’s so nice to see people stick up for trans people in the comments. We have struggled for years, and social stigma in this country just seems to get getting worse, so thank you to everyone who is sticking up for us in the comments. I promise it does make a difference and it helps my community by showing that we are not alone in this

  10. Badges are bad taste. ‘We are against violence but let’s violence’?

  11. It’s sad that in this day and age people still need to have marches/protests just to be treated like human beings. I honestly don’t understand why there’s so much discourse/hatred towards trans people. Like they are doing absolutely fucking NOTHING that affects someone else’s life. I am not trans or a member of the LGBTQ+ community yet I am fucking tired of having to defend them from dumb AF discussions about the whole thing. I can only imagine how exhausting it is to actually be trans and defend your own existence. World would be a better place if people minded their own business and stop acting like others existing is some sort of affront to them.

  12. >Palestine Solidarity Campaign

    Where they protesting the lack of LGBT rights in Palestine?

    Or protesting the Israeli war crimes?

  13. Simple question, complex answer maybe, but can anyone define what is meant by the term trans. What does a person who is trans define themselves as. Is it I am in a man’s body, and I want to transition to a female body as every other aspect of my life and who I am is female and I know I was born into the wrong body type? I just find when I talk to people about it that nobody really knows …

  14. Some people on here really telling on themselves here being transphobic. It’s disgusting.
