One of the things we deal with is the transphobia aimed at us from inside and outside the GLBT community, and the worst offenders many times are other GL people.. 

MAGNET coordinated a protest outside the British Consulate in New York timed to occur at the same moment the Stonewall UK Awards were happening across The Pond.    It was about a video produced by Stonewall UK that includes the term 't****y', which has become a derogatory and insulting slur word to many in our community.

The New York trans community wanted to show solidarity with our British trans cousins, which was why the consulate there was targeted.

Stonewall is associated with and supported by the feminists.

The feminists, far from seeking equality, work toward greater separation and a reconstruction of western society to their liking. That includes a destruction of western femininity.

The feminists will never support transgendered people, especially MtF, because they seek to be feminine.

Worse though, the feminists have separated themselves from the struggles of women in non-western countries. Theirs is a lip service acknowledgement which includes dismissing FGM as being of no more importance than western women's fashion.

Sadly, for the British left, they can't oppose the nazism of the feminists for fear of incurring the ire of Stonewall UK. They can't risk losing the support of Stonewall UK.
