It really bothers me that when an LGB or LGBT organization honors
someone who speaks against the interest of the broader LGBT
community's T's.
So, with a little frustration, let me express some disappointment in
the UK's Stonewall organization's plan to honor journalist Julie
Bindel.
Stonewall Logo and Strap-On SubheaderLet me be frank at the beginning
though. The UK's Stonewallhas a lucid description of its mission scope
on its page logo and subheader. The subheader states "Equality &
Justice for Lesbians, Gay Men & Bisexuals." Note that it doesn't
mention T's. The organization; however, must have some recognition
that they function within a broader LGBT community as they have a
Trans Resources webpage (as well as another 135 webpages that mention
trans people or trans issues if one uses their site search with trans
OR transgender OR transsexual OR "gender identity") on their website.
