Trans Resistance MA

What exactly are they resisting? The government giving them basically everything they want?

LOL

Advocating for the safety, joy, and liberation of TQBIPOC.

And their mission statement:

Identify and respond to transphobic and cissexist actions, including violence and systemic oppression, through resistance.

The pictures on their site really tell the story though.

…they’re in one of the most liberal cities in one of the most liberal regions of the country. They have the media and the ruling political party on their side. They’re able to bully a long-standing gay group into disbanding instead of dealing with their bullshit. What exactly are they resisting?

They take things like this over, they demand they be "centered", they want it all and they want it now. The good part of this disbanding of Pride Boston is this feeling of "You're right. We tried, guess we failed to meet your demands standards . Here, you try it. You see how easy it is. Best of luck." These people love righteous anger and tearing things down, let's see the trans revolutionaries do the million little things needed to organize something like a city parade.

I may be totally wrong, but my prediction is that this new iteration of pride will get some initial momentum, but the personalities making the demands will be unable to maintain it long-term and it will ultimately fail.

There is no systemic oppression against trans people. Everything in the system works in their favor.

As words no longer mean anything, I am not sure what "cissexist" even is -- sexism by or against NORMAL people?

Sexism, bias against someone because of their sex -- most often experienced by women but not exclusively -- is a huge part of the Trans Agenda. Every Trans Train Fool is a hardcore sexist. But then.... nothing they say makes sense.
