One of those little strangenesses

It’s Trans Day of Visibility today, a day to celebrate trans people’s lives and raise awareness of discrimination. And like any other day, it’s a day when trans people continue to be invisible and powerless.

There are no trans people elected to any of the UK’s parliaments;

I once worked rather hard to get a trans person elected – for 10 months in fact. OK, it was the European Parliament but that counted at the time. Got her elected too.

Perhaps it’s that it was alongside Nigel Farage and Ukip that makes people forget this…..

Stop being “trans” then.

There are no trans people elected to any of the UK’s parliaments;

Nobody wants another Jamie Wallis MP.

no trans columnists with regular gigs on national newspapers;

You have nothing to say that people want to read.

no trans newsreaders or TV presenters or radio hosts in mainstream media.

Quite a lot of them on the news tho

” . . .invisible and powerless . . .” , my ass. The actual problem is that they won’t bloody well shut up! They’re worse than vegans!

I’ll start taking these delusional psychotics seriously once they start acknowledging the disproportionate number of deviants, criminals, rapists and murderers within their numbers, and make some sort of atonement for the innumerable and unspeakable horrors performed on innocent children in the name of their personal delusions – now, finally but happily being reduced and hopefully soon to become the unacceptable horror that it shoukd always have been.

Until then – shut the f**k up about being “powerless” – you were powerful enough to cause your mutilation cult to butcher innumerable innocent children. For that, you lose your seat at the table of rational discourse until you have made some amends.

Ah, but was yours a hermaphrodite, a eunuch, or a female impersonator?

Didn’t your elected tranny jump ship for another party soon as you’d completed your work? Maybe that what trans means. Transient.

You see, this is exactly the problem.

People will insist that their mortgages be paid and the banks and mortgage lenders won’t accept “virtue” or other intangibles, only cold, hard cash.

Yet they insist it’s not about getting attention.

Trans people aren’t invisible as mass shooters.

The last I heard,

Former Ukip MEP Nikki Sinclaire cleared of expenses fraud
This article is more than 9 years old
Sinclaire had been accused of £3,000 fraud during trial in which her aide admitted secretly passing information to Nigel Farage

Press Association
Mon 11 Jul 2016 12.42 BST

Dragged through the criminal justice system for 2 years over an alleged £3K of incorrect travel expenses (not guilty and there’s a strong claim from Nikki that the whole thing was a stitch up).

Three grand of disputed business mileage expenses, and they prosecuted for “money laundering”. Ever hear of an ex Labour MP being hounded by prosecutors like that? And over pocket change. Three grand wouldn’t even cover the cost of preparing the prosecution’s case, such as it was. Good on Nikki for holding on and being vindicated.

Isn’t £3000 of travel expenses something like a month’s travel to/from Birmingham and Bussels/Strasberg? In a 5-year term that’s “slipped behind the filing cabinet” sort of error.

This is the person who invented Trans Day of Visibility

As you can see, he survived the events of Batman Returns.

A trans person (trans means other side of) is not the person – so what are they?

They are only 0.0000000000000000000000001%* of the population, exactly how many trans MPs do they actually expect there to be?

*only very slight exageration, see 2021 census.
