The Beaumont Society, the UK’s oldest national transgender support organisation, reacts with dismay to the statement concerning the relaunch of the LGB Alliance as LGB International
The emergence of yet more LGB isolationist and similar “sex-based” advocacy groups such as this represents the continuing efforts of well-funded groups with their own agenda to divide the LGBTQIA+ family, and this is now spreading beyond the USA and UK. This is a regressive step, as it ignores the fact that all sections of the family intersect with each other and that the history of the fight for rights for all sections depended on the actions of all working in harmony. By deliberately excluding trans, non-binary and intersex people by concentrating on the discredited and oversimplified soundbite of “biological sex” or “same-sex attraction” they ignore the fact that these people are also L, G and B. The freedoms that we all enjoy today were founded on actions such as the Stonewall riots in 1969, which were led by transgender people along with their gay and le***an compatriots. Therefore, we have been as much a part of the Gay Liberation movement as any other demographic.
