This shit coming out about Pink News just reminds me of the long history of cissies throwing trans people under the bus (CW: transphobia). Fuck assimilationists.

What's coming out about PinkNews? Always thought it was a lib site tbh.

Also nice vintage blog post, down with cis.

They're dropping coverage of trans issues because it's "contentious" https://hexbear.net/post/3260473

HRC
GLBT
ENDA

pooh-wtf I need to read more queer history.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 15 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Human Rights Campaign, so old and crusty I had to look it up to refresh myself.

You will see many variations on "lgbt" and other terms in old writings though which is funny.

I don’t know a lot about HRC and didn’t realize they were bad. Now I feel embarrassed for posting their LGBTQ friendly employers list in tracha :(

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 10 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Nah you're okay, still a worthwhile resource, just dunno if they'd bother checking for transphobia. But queerfriendly may often mean trans friendly, so no big meow-petted

Human Rights Campaign, so old and crusty I had to look it up to refresh myself.

Unfortunately, they are still around and still count on electoralist respectability politics bs, even though all major advances for queer rights were either won in the streets (Stonewall riots), during prolonged direct action campaigns (ACT UP) or in court battles, and were always pushed foward by more radical queers who were either inclusive of trans people or trans themselves. HRC has at least dropped the open transphobia by now, but they still have no better ideas than voting harder, even though they should be old enough to remember those more successful than them in resisting the dictatorship of cishetnormativity.

I'm disappointed but not even slightly shocked. Those big orgs usually seem pretty lib to me, like didn't GLAAD take a similar stance a while ago?
