Good morning readers it has been a while since I posted something and its because I have been swamped with a lot of work and back to back workshops. Today I would like to address the issue of Transgender and Intersex people discriminating against each other. We preach Human Rights and advocacy and ending discrimination and stigma yet we ourselves (LGBTIQ) judge each other and help demoralize each other every opportunity we get. I had a conversation with a Trans man yesterday on my way home and he raised this issue and talked at length about it and it made me realise that until we start accepting one another and understanding and also considering each other's feelings we can never win with this nation or reach our goals.
Guys lets love each other and practice what we preach if we want to be taken seriously. Still on that we are always at each other's throats as the LGBTIQ trying to be better that the other and that on its own will make archiving our goals to decriminalize Homosexuality in Botswana impossible to archive. we are the Rainbow family we are hated by most and discriminated against every where we go its time we defend our fellow brothers and sisters and remove discrimination of any sort from our minds and vocabulary. As one of the key populations we need all the love and support we can get among-st and from each other before we can go out looking for acceptance out there.
Lets put our ducks in a row.we do not need to be friends or even like each other but lets not be the first to jump the gun as soon as one of us is discriminated against. Lets not be the ones throwing hateful speeches at each other. lets stop bullying be it cyber or personal, lets stop all this abuse against each other because the blunt truth is people judge us by what we do and say.as the LGBTIQ we live under a micro scope so this careless behavior needs to stop right away
Fam.
