   On this here day of Trans Visibility I will be out protesting my stupid, paternalistic, right wing government's "committee of the wise" convened to weigh in on trans rights. Dear reader, they are not wise, they are all cisgender old White people full of prejudice. Needless to say, this committee is unwise, harmful and everyone and all organizations in the community were very clear it was unhelpful at best.

     @fifilamoura As a rule of thumb, I wouldn’t trust anyone who calls themselves wise or allows themselves to be called wise.

     @aral @fifilamoura The president of this committee, a [cis] woman, was asked by a journalist if she could ever imagine a committee on the “women condition” without women and she said “probably not, no”. That should have been the end of it right there. It’s abhorrent.
