Liverpool Anarchotransmisogyny | Linktree

At the time of all of this happening I was between my late teens and early 20s, a vulnerable trans youth who'd experienced a great deal of state violence already. This is what cis demons and their pet traitors did to me.

Snitchery and sexual abuse in the anarchist movement is nothing new. In my conflict with these  predators I've gleaned a decent amount of knowledge regarding their operation, history and philosophy. This is a tale of sexual violence, this is a tale of exploitation, this is a tale of hypocrisy and cowardace, this is the tale of the Liverpool so called anarchist scene.

By way of an introduction - hello, I'm a trans woman, my names are rather superfluous, for the purposes of this story I shall adopt the name Elphaba

Alright, let's do this

Liverpool "Anarchist" Social Centre

So there I was a young trans girl in a cis man's world organizing what I could and participating in activism™️, as I performed my activistly duties within Liverpool solfed and Liverpool food not bombs I began receiving the unwanted sexual advances of a greying chaser that smelled of piss who went by the ridiculous name Tony Chestnut (my ex called him Tony pepperoni). So I came forward about my experiences, sharing them with the people who organized the space, this included myself; my partner Deet, a wonderful trans femme; Steve Moss, a manarchist; Katie Brown, the clouted friend of Helen Steele; A man named David, who would admit that he refuses to respect trans people's pronouns; Finally members of the at the time active group Liverpool solidarity federation - in light of my experiences me and my partner had managed to get folk to agree that the sexual predator would not be given access to the space.

Harassment! At the social centre

Whilst the requests of the meeting's present members were initially for me to engage in the legalistic charade that is transformative justice, asking me to sit face to face with the nonce and get them to understand what they did wrong, were unsuccessful, the established organizers acting as a council of elders decided later to overturn the decision to remove the predator returning him free reign of the space. A few days following this I was organizing a prisoner letter writing event dedicated to trans prisoners and Tony's band just so happened to appear and attempt to claim rights to the space for band practice, therefore later that evening I decided to destroy and steal some of Tony's music equipment. As a result of this one busy day after some activistly activity I ran into the predator at the space, upon his threat to remove my clothes I decided to offer him a fight outside. Present members of the space, both SolFed and Food Not Bombs sided with the predator.

Harassment continues

My solution to the conflict being seen as "too far" by assorted so-called anarchists and I was pulled in for "conflict resolution."

Present were Dave (a different Dave) and Andy; manarchist core members of Liverpool solfed, And Maya Gallard Oakley; a woman who sexually abuses trans youth. From this point onwards both me and my partner, at the time the only active trans members of Liverpool solfed, had attempted to convince the members of Liverpool solfed - Andy and Dave, Ged; a man who both looks and acts like a gammon, Ana; a terfy rapist who targets trans youth, Karen; to whom the name describes accurately, and Harry Howlet; a man destined for an NGO job - to divest from the space and boycott the 2023 Liverpool anarchist bookfair. Questions were raised about the ability of the union to function without the support of the social center and the terf landlords who fund the place, these questions were not raised by any trans people present, but questions were certainly raised.
