Transgender activist and actor Georgie Stone has spoken out about the pressures facing her community, saying dangerous anti-transgender rhetoric was being amplified across the country.

Transgender activist Georgie Stone says she is 'genuinely fearful' after neo-Nazi rally.She called on politicians to stop 'using us a football'.

Ms Stone was the youngest person to be granted puberty blockers, aged 10, after leading the push for a 2017 law change which meant transgender children would no longer need Family Court approval to access hormone treatment.She laid down the gauntlet to trans allies, saying: "You can't celebrate with us at World Pride and then scatter when the attacks come".

"I'm tired of feeling targeted. I am tired of going to sleep at night worried about what hateful, horrible messages I will wake up to. This last month has been a taste of what has been happening to trans people here and all around the world. The US has seen a rise in state legislation which critics say would undermine transgender rights, including legal definitions of gender based on biological sex, and bans on gender-affirming care.

"If you want the pride and the glitter and the confetti, you also have to stand with us when it's uncomfortable and scary, too," she said.

'was'? Pretty sure it still is.

Shut up, stay out the news and I'd be happy.

If you keep calling women’s rights campaigners anti-trans, far right, dangerous and nazis then of course people will be scared Try responsible journalism instead of endless, baseless fear-mongering Talk to women, listen to the women, stop pandering to ACON LetWomenSpeak

That this is a Men's Rights movement is so clearly displayed by the never ending propaganda that features trans identifying men. Georgie is free to be Georgie. I am free to not accept that Georgie is a woman. Women, the old fashioned kind, do not consent to men in or spaces.

Nobody cared what the trans community did until they started to involve children.

Always playing the victim & gaslighting the public! The only violence we see online is coming from transgender people & their activists 🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm fearful that my Mum or sister could be assaulted by a deviant in the ladies bathroom.

A mob of ferals attacked a woman in NZ and a psycho murdered children in the US You're not the victims

Of what? Men can’t become women? Women deserve single seals spaces free of men? Women’s sports are for women only? That’s not hateful. It’s just piercing an immense national delusion The dilemma is massive mental illness and the people who pander to it.

What community? Do you mean the one that demands everyone accept the delusional notion that a person can change their sex? And assaults and abuses ppl who disagree?

6 people dead in Nashville, including 3 children. 3 previous mass shooters also TrAns. Video evidence x 4 (at least) of people getting bashed at rallies, by them. Including an elderly woman. And they are the victim this month?. Unreal..

A working class kid like me never had the opportunity for so many reasons It always was, and is. And the working class subsidise it via their taxes. It’s King Louis XVI stuff. Bring out the guillotines. Even crap theatre is elitist. If a show is not of interest why should it exist? Who should pay for it? Derek should stick to musicals and pantos if he wants bums on seats.
