Are some people worried they will catch something off the trans community or perhaps they think that the trans community shouldn’t be validated because it goes against the will of your chosen deity?

Or maybe you think all trans people are masquerading as predators because they wish to use the bathroom?

Maybe you don’t agree with people wanting to be something they know they have been all their lives?

Or you just don’t think other people should be able to live their lives in contentment?

The hate many transgender people are experiencing at the moment is abhorrent and many trans people have already walked to hell and back to discover themselves. And let’s not even start with the legal and medical hoops we must jump through to even gain help from these professions.

You may not know many trans people as we only make up about 1% of the UK population but think how you would feel if the same “humour” was aimed at your children, friend or other loved one?

Many trans people aren’t looking for acceptance but they do want to live without fear, risk of persecution or violence against them.

To end, I’ll leave this here for you to read, as a balance to the information presented by your TV or politically motivated news channel.

Sure, Macclesfield has its own little LGBTQ+ community but as with many LGBTQ+ groups I have found they focus mainly on the LGB part of our spectrum and the Macclesfield group also focus’s heavily on the pride element of the LGBTQ+ community. I applaud this but I also think lots of LGBTQ+ people are looking for support more than a parade once a year.

Ironically, I found Transend through while searching links on the Macclesfield Pride website and visited the facebook page and joined.

The group is very friendly and as well as the online chats the group hold regular meetings at local venues.

Please take a few moments to view the facebook page and possibly join. I am on there so if you want to chat, pin me in a message.

The facebook group is available at : https://www.facebook.com/groups/506499526591598/
