Urgency and emotion hung over the thousands of people who gathered at Dolores Park, then took to the streets for the city’s 19th annual Trans March on Friday.
This year’s march was set to a backdrop of political anxiety, punctuated by Friday morning’s Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, and months of anti-trans legislation taking hold in dozens of states across the country.
At one point, the march route intersected with that of a protest against the Supreme Court ruling. Participants from the two groups raised fists to one another in solidarity from opposite sides of Market Street, illustrating the parallels between their causes.
“It was so touching to support one another and join forces,” said march attendee Maverick Eason.
Some signs carried by marchers read, “Stop policing bodies,” and, “Abortion rights, trans rights, sex worker rights are all connected.” Parents carried kids on their shoulders who held up signs that read “Protect trans youth.” Demonstrators marched, chanted, danced and drummed in a throng of sounds and colors that flooded city streets for over two hours.
“Birthing people’s rights are under attack; women’s rights are under attack; LGBT and especially trans rights are under attack,” said Honey Mahogany, a candidate for District 6 supervisor and co-founder of the Transgender District, as she stood onstage at the end of the march. “But we’re not going to stand for it, especially not here in San Francisco and especially not in the Tenderloin.”

No loss if something had wiped out all the marchers.
Would pay serious money to watch something like that live
Cooperation with mortal sin
Rejoicing in God’s justice is no sin….
I was assuming you meant an act of man.
Presuming that you know what God’s justice should be and to whom it should be given is a sin.
This new alliance may represent the “seamless undergarment”, representing the dark interlocking of the vices.
People who are not intelligent enough to figure out how to mate do not need to get an abortion.
I guess I missed the part of the “Birds and the Bee’s” talk on the birth canal of the penis…
There are plenty who have missed out on that one. They spend their entire lives and lots of money promoting failed and unsanitary ideas on how mating should be done. They are certain that the way that it is done in nature is wrong and that they have come up with a better way. If animals did not display more intelligence than that, they would become extinct.
Peggy, what in the world are you talking about?
Huh? The “fact” that men can now give birth. Babies gotta come out of somewhere. What do you propose?
Navel? Nostril? Or, maybe the penumbras?
The explanation to Peggy’s post is simple. She is talking about the men who are claiming to be women when they have no birth canal (as real women do) but have the other thingy that real males have. Now do you understand?
If you are still confused, it is only because the whole trans thing is fantasy (no real biology behind it.)
How can there be women’s rights when no one can define what a woman is?
Catholic journalist Matt Walsh tried to find out.
It really makes some of the “elite” in the west, including this U.S. president, look terribly “confused” (putting it politely) when many in the so called “third world” can explained what a man and a woman are quite clearly.
Correction: “can explain”, not “can explained”
