A few things to know here:

It's just a bit of shit stirring by a shit stirring newspaper that's owned by the son of a billionaire exKGB director, who was given a seat in the house of lords by one of the most corrupt prime ministers the UK has ever had, Boris Johnson.

The original story came up from The Telegraph, I just found an alternative source.

If a trans flag is political, then so is a cross. In fact, I'd argue religion is more about politics than it is about faith these days.

Makes me feel for the people who actually use religion as a tool to better themselves and not just as a tool to argue for something when no better argument exists.

No it's way more fucked up than that. They're saying trans people don't actually exist. It's like if I saw a cross and said Christian people don't actually exist. That was just made up a few years ago to get attention and avoid paying taxes. They're ignoring millennia worth of evidence that we've existed, in fact far longer than Christianity has existed and saying it's just a made up political ploy for attention or something like that.

Look, trans folks know more about crossing over than most of us. What's the problem here?

Because transphobes are little bitches.

Some of the most fragile snow flakes. Kinda like the red caps.

The vast majority of them.
