#TransRights = #HumanRights 💛
We are outraged by the hate speech and transphobic displays that took place in #Melbourne over the weekend. Transphobia, white supremacy and bigotry has zero place in our society. 🧵
We are outraged by the hate speech and transphobic displays that took place in #Melbourne over the weekend. Transphobia, white supremacy and bigotry has zero place in our society. 🧵
Right now, we are seeing an unprecedented attack on trans rights from anti-trans hate groups. There are no federal or state laws in Victoria that protect LGBTQIA+ people from vilification.
We're also concerned that @VictoriaPolice failed to act in accordance with their human rights obligations during this rally, with reports of excessive force, intimidation, and a biased and discriminatory approach to crowd management.
