We are the prophets whose voices they are trying to silence.
And that’s not just paranoia.
A recent Amnesty report reveals that in the last five years, the British press has published an average of nine articles a day on trans issues.
And yet the voices of trans people themselves have been mostly silenced.
They write about us but do not allow us to speak.
And maybe one reason for this is that we are prophets of a new age,
of a new way of understanding what it is to be a man
and what it is to be a woman.
And the present overwhelmingly toxic ideas about manhood,
about what it is to be a man,
are responsible not just for the terrifying growth of attacks on girls and women
but also, I suspect, lie behind the values that are destroying our planet.
there are some very rich and very powerful men out there who have a strong interest in suppressing the truth about their acts of violence against women and girls;
And who are also profiting hugely out of the world’s destruction.
All our voices matter
The voices of all of us trying to create a different world.
All prophetic voices are needed now more than ever.
