RT @Jebadoo2: “Queers who died of AIDS” Reminds me a lot of how the gay men who died at the time were described in some newspapers. Always a horrible word, but particularly sad to see it in this context. https://t.co/7sB2FM...

No, the issue was Stonewall guidance and the impact on other PCs. The Reindorf report highlighted that, in failing to balance the needs of women & other PCs, they were discriminating. If trans rights mean oppressing others, it isn't lawful. Cohen ...
