"Safe choices are what we're seeing right now, from non-profits to the entertainment sector on a global scale. And they'll be the death of us all."
"Instead, Dugdale has taken the safe choice. She talked about how scary it is to be a lesbian right now, raised concerns that the right to same-sex marriage might legitimately come under attack."
"Being less combative on trans rights might get some people through the day, but it does not contribute to the long-term fight for equality."
The current climate poses threats to trans rights, prompting some to retreat into safe choices rather than actively fighting back. This retreat is seen as complicity, undermining efforts to protect marginalized communities. Organizations and individuals are urged to resist the temptation to prioritize safety over activism. The appointment of Kezia Dugdale as chair of Stonewall highlights this issue, as her cautious approach and sympathy for anti-trans sentiments reflect a broader trend of avoiding confrontation, which could ultimately harm the fight for trans rights.
