Philly Trans March seeks to 'bring visibility to community'
WPVI ^ | 10/10/15 | Jeff Chirico

Several hundred supporters of the transgender community marched through Center City Saturday calling for acceptance and an end to discrimination.

"The goal of the march is just to bring visibility to the community. The injustice, the criminalization. We just want equality," said Naiymah Sanchez, Philly Trans March organizer.

"I figured out I was Trans when I was about 16, and I came out when I 17 and started living fully as a male at 17," said Damon Williams of Cherry Hill, N.J.

Now 18, Williams said his coming out experience was relatively easy because family and friends accept him. But he points out not everyone has it so easy.


March organizers said many Trans identifying people lack education, are homeless and struggle with drugs and alcohol.

"There are particular reasons on why they're doing this," said Sanchez. "A lot of individuals are thrown out their house because their family does not agree with their gender identity."

At the rally, some held signs with pictures of Keisha Jenkins, the transgender woman beaten and shot in the city's Logan section on Tuesday.

Police haven't said she was targeted because of her gender identity, but some said safety is a huge concern.

And while organizers push for more inclusive laws, they understand that's not enough.

"We can change policies and procedures, but we're working harder to try to change what I call the 'generational thought,' " said Sanchez.

"I'm hoping we can have more people be open about being Trans without being afraid," said Williams.

Advocates are commending City Council for a measure it took earlier this week.

The council passed an ordinance that would require all single-stall bathrooms in the city to be marked gender neutral, not men or women.

I think that these people are exactly equal to people who think they’re dogs and challenge them to come up with a rational argument how they should be treated any differently than the trans-species mental patients.

Always loved the line — can’t remember who coined it — “It used to be the love that dare not speak its name. Now it’s the love that won’t shut up.”

It’s body Dysmorphia!!!!!

and it’s an illness. People go to south america to get arms and legs removed because they wont do it here!!!

yet a doctor in the US said a prisoner had dysmorphia and the ONLY way to help him was chop it off!!

Then why isn’t the only way to help those who wants their arms or legs gone to chop it off??

it’s a madhouse!!! and get your filthy paws off me... :)

People who go to “pride” marches are really very ashamed of themselves.

If you’re a woman attempting to pass as a man or a man attempting to pass as a woman - in either case the aim is to deceive.

Why, then, stage a parade in which you announce this deceit?

It’s a toxic stew of mental illness and narcissism.

If these people don’t know if they are male or female, they could just look down. Just check to see if it’s an outie or an inie down there. That’s the first clue.

These are a generation of children who grew up in schools which program “Pride” in degeneracy and mass conformity to eliminate uniqueness and thinking outside the box. They have totally been brainwashed to hate God’s Design of the body-—for the godless Marxist image that they are godless animals and have no control over base urges (which rule them). They are actually totally irrational and removed from Reality (on purpose)..

It is to destroy Virtue in children which has to be habituated but without Classical Education it is impossible to impart-—because now they are corrupted with irrational concepts like Vice is Virtue and Slavery is Freedom., They become dumb useful idiots who are devoid of Reason and understanding of Reality (Natural Law Theory—which created the most free coutnry in all of History). The elite sodomites need to destroy that worldview in children so they will be willing partners-—remove individualism and identity so human beings are all interchangeable drones. (Radical Marxism where identity and family is obsolete.)

It is to force German Wundtian psychology-—to destroy Chistianity (Overturn the Age of Reason) for total irrationality for the NWO (total slavery.) Vice creates slaves only.

Their “utopia” where boys and girls romp and have sex on the grass with anyone or anything-—like in the Brave New World-—and adults watch and clap with glee and even join in like in ancient Rome and todays Afghani boy harems..

It is to reduce man to godless immoral animal-—to remove sacredness of sex and identity so useless eaters can be killed and apathy reigns like with the killing of babies today-—to erase all the ideas which createed a Christian Worldview and Individualism and Natural Rights from God——for ‘group (non) think”. and idiocy.

All the Founders knew that culture collapses without Virtue and when filled with idiots.
