Great video on why throwing our trans brothers and sisters under the bus will never work (www.youtube.com)

Great video by Caelan Conrad who dissected the anti trans movement from their origins.

I didn't know TERFs existed even back then at Stonewall. It was such a great lesson in history.

The video also went on to show gays and lesbians who tried to be assimilationists and why it wouldn't work. i.e. Leopards eat their faces too.

A must watch for everyone who are interested in LGBTQIA+ communities. I honestly need to read more books about it.

Saw only the thumbnail and nearly had a heart attack. Thought you were seriously posting Blaire White videos and that she was proclaiming to drop the T... :((

Thanks for the informative video anyways!

Along those lines, there were also Jews for Hitler. Leopards ate their faces, too. These folks just don't learn from history, do they?

Yeah, LGBT "conservatives", racial minorities supporting racist policies, not-like-other-girl, etc. All lead to the same road.
