I’ve been mulling over this idea now for a couple of months. As I’m seeing it more and more on the news and I’ve had a number of conversations about this with friends and colleagues.

I see that the transgender community is definitely becoming more and more the new social pariah.

This is becoming more prevalent in countries like the UK and USA where being transgender will get you beaten, stabbed and even shot just for existing and walking down the street.

While countries like Brazil, have a transgender murder rate so high, with over 4,000 trans people having been killed in the past 13 years.

I myself have been subject to hate and abuse going about my daily life, for the first time in Manchester in August of this year.

A number of my transgender friends have also been subjected to similar kinds of comments, abuse, and physical assault (which were reported to the police but dropped because of lack of evidence!)

This year we had the Brianna Ghey murder, here in the UK and this really hit home hard at the kind of abuse.

Abuse which now puts the UK on the world leaderboard for transgender murders.

Then when the media writes about abuse or murders their rhetoric is incredibly negative and dare I say it offensive and even harmful. People’s views are then formed on these views as unfortunately many citizens still think the media is the truth and nothing but the truth.

I won’t go over again what happened with Brianna Ghey, but the media spent the hours after her death deadnaming and trying to dig up dirt on the girl to discredit her as a Transwoman!

Back to the Past!

At one time in the not-so-distant past in the UK other minorities were vilified for their culture and behavior but society has moved on and these minorities don’t experience this in general anymore because society has evolved and anti-discrimination laws have been put in place.

But there was a time when the ethnic, Black and Asian minorities where called certain names just because of their skin colour or ethnicity.

Those very words will now get you arrested for hate crimes, and quite rightly so.

But those very same rules do not seem to apply to transgender people and I’d say since 2020 they have got worse.

Sure I could report people who call me certain names but the Police are absolutely useless and despite reporting assaults in the past have done nothing.

Even a sexual assault went nowhere.

Our political class aren’t helping matters and the Conservative Party government, currently in power in the UK, is very anti transgender and supported by certain media outlets means misinformation and abuse toward transgender people are on the increase.

I find myself being asked about, or even told, that after reading an article in the Daily Fail, that certain aspects of my life, sexuality, beliefs, and transition are wrong or false!

This is usually said to me in a detrimental way.

The governmental Anti Transgender agenda

In the past week, 6th October 2023, at the Tory party conference the government and Rishi Sunak have again shown their true colours as an anti trans party and spoken out against the trans community.

My response to the Tory party speech is here.

This of course, in their eyes, is not anti transgender but “common sense” but the thinly veiled bullshit will no doubt fuel the anti trans movement and I would expect hate crimes against trans people to rise because of the government’s stance on transgender people?

The problem with a government which pushes an anti trans agenda is that the plebs and transphobes will see this as “it’s okay” because the government are behind them.

This of course is a sad state of affairs, for not just trans people, but is also anti LGBTQI+!

This agenda also does not bode well for women and men who do not conform to societies less than perfect example of what a man and woman are. I would expect attacks on masculine women and feminine men to increase as well.

Summary

So, is being transgender the new social pariah?

Is this social pariahadom only for the Male to Female transgender community?

Or is society’s scorn aimed at all transgender people, young and old, rich or poor, fat or thin, male or female?

When I set out on my journey 4 years ago, I was quite happy to try to get on with my life, but the more society pushes, the harder I push back.

I and many more of my transgender friends don’t want to be treated differently because of who we are, all we want is to get on with our lives, live our lives, and not be subject to society’s scorn and abuse.

Let me ask you a question, if you wouldn’t say the things you deem safe to say to any other group in society, why do you feel safe saying them to a transgender person?

I mean you wouldn’t call and black person the N word and expect not to face repercussions, so don’t call me things and I won’t unfurl my scorn and hatred back at you!

Everyone has the right to live their lives as they see fit.

Trans people face enough mistreatment and hate from the medical, governmental, and institutions, and getting it from society also leads to depression, anxiety, and in extreme cases death from suicide.

Don’t believe me, attend the transgender memorial vigil in Sackville gardens in November. A great number of people who were mentioned last year killed themselves because they couldn’t live with the abuse and torment aimed at them!

Also a great deal of trans people were murdered because of the anti trans movement in other countries.

I just want to live my life and those who have known me for a very long time have all said that since I came out I am a much happier and pleasant person.

However I fear things will get worse for the Transgender community before they get better!

Pink News: Rishi Sunak says misgendering trans people is ‘common sense’ in Tory conference speech.

He said “we shouldn’t get bullied into believing that people can be any sex they want to be, they can’t a man is a man and a woman is a woman that’s just common sense” and the sickophantic seals at the conference applauded!

So Rishi, when you look at me and some of my friends who have been transitioning for a while, what do you see?

His full speech is here: Rishi Sunak’s full speech from Conservative Party Conference in Manchester – Wales Online and if you feel the desire to watch it then thats available here: (341) Rishi Sunak speech on HS2, education reforms and smoking – YouTube

This is for a number of reasons.

The first and main reason is that the transphobic part of our society will now see Rishi Sunak’s speech as carté blanche to now purposely, misgender every trans person that they see.

Sadly, this may involve some cisgender people experiencing hate as well because they maybe perceived as transgender.

I am hoping that this does not happen to me and also that it doesn’t become a common occurrence, but I have made up my mind that if this does happen and I am misgendered, by a professional person, such as a police officer or medical professional, I will stand my ground and fight my corner!

Even if this means that I am arrested for what I do or say thereafter!

If this happens from a member of the general public or even a friend, then I will ignore them quicker than they can click their fingers.

If it’s a work colleague then I will raise this with their HR departments or the person who ultimately pays my wage which is the owner of the company. I would even withdraw my services from this customer if needed!

I know some people may say, “well this is just my opinion”, but in today’s society you would not call a black person a n***** or somebody from the middle East and p**** anymore. So why should a transgender person be expected to take abuse for the same thing?

Nobody knows what I have been through in my life to reach a point where I first of all felt safe, and also felt happy transitioning from male to female. Plus you have no idea of the heartache, anguish, anxiety, soul searching, and mental anguish that I have gone through to get to this stage in my life.

Just so that I can be happy and a functioning member of society!!!

We have the prime minister of the United Kingdom standing on a stage and say anti transgender things in a public forum and saying that being anti transgender is acceptable! This is both morally and societally unacceptable and those that think this is right are perhaps the ones with a mental disorder.

Then on the same day the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Steve Barclay, say that trans people will not be allowed on hotel wards for treatment on the ward of their chosen gender. Meaning that I would not be allowed on a woman’s ward for treatment.

Now I hope that medical professionals see sense here and are not going along with this guidance, as there was already legislation passed in 2021 (NHS guidance issued in 2021 said trans people may be placed on wards according to the gender they identify as.)

As far as I am aware there have been no incidence of transgender people causing issues on the ward of their chosen gender in the past and also placing trans people in private rooms will further strain an already broken NHS.

This poses the question, which ward would I be put in if I was having gender affirming surgery?

The second major reason I no longer feel safe in the UK is because I see the Conservative government becoming more and more fascist in the way that it deals with the general public at large.

These comments by our prime minister and the proposal changes is putting the health and well-being of the transgender population in jeopardy

All of this rhetoric aimed at the transgender community, which I hasten to add is only 0.39% of the entire UK population (2022 census results. Population of 67.33 million and 262000 people identifying as transgender or non-binary). This rhetoric is making it more difficult for people like myself to live our lives.

Also this kind of legislation also puts a strain on our society but it’s also going to impact the lives of non-transgender people as every masculine woman or feminine man is going to be viewed very differently by our society and how long before this abuse spills over to those not viewed as perfect in Rishi’s society?

I honestly do not know what the Tories are trying to achieve by victimizing the transgender community when nearly all the transgender people I know just want to live their lives. Something which the non-transgender community is free to do with impunity.

It is already hard enough to live in this country as a transgender person and I must admit that I have actually looked at moving away from this country to a safer place.

Me moving overseas would not only impact on my life, but it would also impact on the lives of my companies suppliers, subcontractors, customers and even the UK treasury itself, as my business pays tax in the UK.

I am prepared to move overseas if the Transmisia that is appearing in the UK continues and believe me this has not been an easy decision to make because I do love the United Kingdom.

So, I say to Rishi Sunak and the Tory Party that you are a bunch of cunts and you would not have treated any other minorities in the way that you are treating the transgender community today.

Your words are vile and you should know that the harder you push me as a transgender person, the harder I will push back, be that through my activism or if the need arises via criminal actions.

I am honestly no longer scared to be arrested for standing my ground against rules and measures brought in against the transgender community and ultimately myself.

Therefore should I experience any kind of hate on mistreatment from any public body or service I will pursue them to the full extent of my ability and legal recourse.

I will also never again in my life vote Conservative, and I await the day that my local tory MP knocks on my door looking for my support because she, Fiona Bruce, and her supporters will get the metaphoric both barrels.

What was said by the prime minister I find utterly abhorrent and as I’ve said before there is no way that they would have said this to any other minority in this once great country.

You and the Tory party have taken another step closer to a fascist society and shown your true colours! Brown!
