Brighton Blues

I spoke truth to trans and they spake back COVID.

Well, that was exciting! Here is parts 1 and 2 of the festivities in Brighton. My speech is at 1:04:00 (an hour in).

Part 2:

My speech on its own:

Highlights from the day that I am still trying to track down include this guy starting a fistfight with police and seemingly intentionally steering the brawl over towards a woman in a wheelchair. Fortunately, some of the femalists there got in between her and the brawl and managed to repel the throng so she was not injured. Two people on team Transboro Baptist Church set off smoke bombs that looked like gender reveals, except in addition to a baby girl there was also a baby Hexxus from Fern Gully. Three of their side were arrested for behaving poorly (how predictable). There was another woman who reportedly was screaming at a woman holding a baby that both she and the baby were fascists (if anyone has this footage, please direct me to it! I’ve seen the photo sets that came from the video).

We then went back to what the Atlantic islanders call “the pub” but you and I would know as a “bar.” I don’t know when or why they stopped calling it the proper term and I have plans to return with a larger group of civilizers to help modernize their shores. I have to say I slept through the queen’s funeral but in my defense, I verifiably caught the plague from Plague Island. My ancestors are so proud.

I was so happy to meet everyone in the flesh and participate in a rowdy day of activism, defending the 19th Amendment and similar legislation that protects a woman’s right to vote on the basis of sex. As I explain in the speech, without a recognition of sex, non-disability, non-cultural implications of sex, like being a menstruator, a uterus haver, a chest feeder, and so forth, are not protected in law. So if you like having a right to lactate, a right to vote even if you might be pregnant, a right to domestic violence shelters that your male abuser cannot follow you into, a right to tampons in prison, you must support sex-based rights, or you’ll have to win those rights in ten thousand different fights in completely uncharted waters. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
