england: ??

transphobia is rampant in the only party that could feasibly deliver independence meaning a lot of trans scottish voters need to decide how they’d rather be oppressed -- in a bound country oversaw by coloniser parasites, or a free country oversaw by people who’s first acts will be stripping us of our hard-won rights. 

i can’t speak for ethnic minorities, but casual, social, and institutional racism is massive in scotland. don’t believe me? what do you call the chinese restaurant? okay, maybe you wouldn’t call it that, but tell me, why do you know exactly what i’m fucking talking about?

find me a scottish queer over the age of 25 who doesn’t know so-and-so who got assaulted on the street, and know that if you do, they’re an outlier.

why is it when anybody brings any of these things up, you’ve got a bunch of “centrists” crawling out of their holes chanting “indy first, indy first, indy first”? i should not have to wait and hope for an independence to be equal to my fellow scot. i know we’d love to think that indy is just down the road, and whilst i can’t say what will actually happen, hypothetically, what happens when we’re 15 years down the line and minorities are still being told that their lives don’t matter yet because you don’t have a scottish passport? i’m not going to hold my breath waiting for an independence that may never come before asking people to admit that maybe transphobia isn’t okay.
