A counter campaign has been started to ‘keep the T’ in LGBT, after the ‘drop the T’ campaign was met with heavy criticism.
The Change.org petition, which has been signed by a thousand people, calls for ‘T’ to be removed from ‘LGBT’.
It claims to have been created by a group of gay, bisexual and lesbian women who want trans people to be “disassociated” with the term LGBT.
The petition goes on to note the apparent “vilification and harassment of women and gay men/lesbian individuals who openly express disagreement with the trans ideology.”
It also notes comments made by feminist author Germaine Greer, who recently said trans women are “can’t be women”, and attacks the trans community and its allies for “re-writing gay and lesbian history,” after complaints that Roland Emmerich’s film ‘Stonewall’ erased gender non-conforming people of colour from its telling of the Stonewall riots.
