"LGBT has got a T in there for a reason - trans people started our movement" Writer Armistead Maupin talks to @krishgm about transphobia in the UK and US, and why he's using his voice to stand up for trans rights. Watch him on Ways to Change the World: youtu.be/Pht23fDI98o?si…
@Channel4News @krishgm Maupin wasn't at Stonewall, I was. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Next time look for someone who was there @Channel4News, not a trans pandering fiction writer. Maupin is the epitome of a Vichy gay.
@Channel4News @krishgm Utter bollocks. Ask him which t "started our movement". None were at the Stonewall riots, none were at the Gay Lib marches I was at in the late 70s/ early 80s. Maupin was probably too busy writing his boring books to even see anything.
@Channel4News @krishgm Well said . As a gay man in my sixties who campaigned for equality and against Thatcher’s Section 28 in the 80’s and 90’s, I stand with the trans community. No LGB without the T
@Channel4News @krishgm The abused generation offers up future generations to child abuse. It is not the worlds fault your parents looked away.
@Channel4News @krishgm #TransRightsAreHumanRights Since 1960 feminist and transgender movements are united for the fight of Human Rights .. you need be aware that is the reality of our LGBTQ rights .. Solidarity and Cooperation in between .. and it is history .. Mothers, Transwomen, feminist in 1️⃣
@Channel4News @krishgm We are so blessed to have Armistead Maupin on this earth. He’s a man of huge kindness, intellect and reason.
@Channel4News @krishgm It's so sad to watch a former hero of mine telling outright lies about the history of the gay rights movement to pander to a loud and lazy cult that has zero respect for us.
@Channel4News @krishgm WTF happened to Armistead Maupin. "Trans people started our movement"? Maybe he's lived too long in the San Francisco bubble. I've loved his books and absolutely loved the first season of "Tales of the City" but I can't stand that he rewrites our history.
@Channel4News @krishgm Lies. Trans people were nowhere to be seen in the gay rights movement. And many campaigned against gay marriage too. x.com/twisterfilm/st…
