Pride Parades Being Trans Exclusive

[acidambience]

I don't know if anyone out there has had this same issue but the last Pride I went to here had literally no inclusion of Trans individuals. I just wanted to know if anyone else has had this issue and what is your view on this?

I haven't really seen that, but then again I don't go to many rallies

I have heard of pride parades only being for gays and lesbians. Bisexual? Not only there is nothing for you, you'll get attacked verbally, emotionally, physically, all of the above, or a combination of the two. Trans? Nothing for you either.

I used to want to go to a pride event, but because of the treatment of bisexuals there, I am too scared to go.

I think it's awful that trans people were excluded. Transgendered people deserve to show their pride in themselves just as much as cisgendered gay men and lesbians.

There are no pride parades around here (I'm from a small town), but I would certainly raise a stink if there were one and it excluded the transgendered.

im afraid of going to lgbt events for the same reason. im bi but im in a hetero relationship

heck even gays that dont act fem get crap at some of these events. its horrible. it feels like if you arent a stereotypical gay or lesbian then you dont matter and arent welcome

Nail on the head. It's why I don't openly state my sexuality unless asked in the right circumstance. I am not a traditional bi man, unless you mean in the depraved bisexual way, what with all the wine and recreational drug use. But that's a personal issue, not a moral one.

idk what a stereotypical bi woman is, 15 and slutty? i honestly dont know anymore lol.

i must give off a bit of a homo vibe though, ive had a lot of people assume i was a lesbian or not act surprised when they found out i was bi.

but most people assume in straight since thats common and i have a huaband

I haven't ever been to a Pride Parade or anything, but I definitely think Transgender people should be included. They are all part of the same community, and more harassed than cisgender gay people according to statistics, so I think they deserve to be in the Parade if they wish to, definitely.

I haven't been to a pride event, but I have heard of incidents where trans, bi, and even straight allies were not welcome. I'm hoping with Caitlin Jenner's transition that will help bring about change, but who knows. All I do know is that if someone is showing up to an event to show their support, it shouldn't matter what they identify as or what they look like. They are there to support, so don't bash them and make them feel unwanted.

i dont really go to pride events. for a lot of reasons. but i seen (and experienced some of) how nontrans ppl in 'the community' treat trans ppl. esp when they think none are around. : / not even touching on how trans folks step on trans ppl who dont have access to the same things they do....

honestly between the truscum, the tucutes, and everyone stuck in between i just dont want to touch the trans community with a 30ft pole most days

its crazy. i dont even know if i would consider myself cis or gender neutral/nonbinary or what but i dont really want to reach out to any part of the trans community besides for a few individuals.

the whole effing movement was started by trans people and now people aren't even letting us in??? This is crazy.
Apparently at philly pride there were trans men showing off their scars.
