LETTERS
ALWAYS WITH THE T
As an LGBT+ organisation we are all feeling tired and beleaguered by attacks from transphobes – and constantly having to defend and justify what we do. I am so grateful for your wonderful and considered article on the rights of transgender people and the importance of unity. As a queer man (cisgender) it shocks me to see how some members of our LGBT+ communities are scapegoating transgender people. Our fight is with misogyny, patriarchy and the rise of the right… I hope that you don’t mind me writing but your beautifully written article summed up many of my feelings – the article I wish I could and had written. I am the proud CEO of an LGBT+ charity in Sheffield and see first hand the impact of transphobic views on our young people who daily amaze and delight me with their challenge to this heteronormative, cis-normative world. Brilliant article – thank you so much.
