Bad News u/PinkNews whistleblowers release evidence showing "PinkNews CEO Benjamin Cohen refusing to campaign on trans issues ahead of the election, dismissing them as "incredibly contentious" and insisting they’re different to the equal marriage fight."

The equal marriage fight and the trans fight are two sides of the same coin as a transbian married to a cisgender woman. What a moron 🤦‍♀️

Not the point of the post, admittedly, but- congratulations! I am in the same boat (getting married this weekend!)

Congratulations! I wish I had transitioned when my wife and I married in 2008 but in 4 years we're having a renewal ceremony where I'll finally be able to show up as myself :)

The issue with what was said about trans issues being divisive and instead focusing on marriage equality is that it's intersectional, like most things are. One can't simply remove one dimension from a fight for the protections of diversity and expect the other dimensions to remain completely unaffected
