For Sunday 12th of July a newly founded initiative is calling for the fist INTERNATIONALIST Trans Pride in Berlin. People who want to support can contact them via Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itpberlin.

Statement by ITB:

🌕 Why We Need A New Trans Pride? 🌕

Here’s why we’re fed up, and why you should be too.

For years, the so-called Berlin Trans Pride has been betraying the roots of a pride march: an Intifada, a Riot.

Instead, they have been playing vanilla politics, tokenizing black & global majority (BGM) people and calling it ‘solidarity’.

🗓️ About Recent Years

Last year, while claiming solidarity with Palestine, which they only did after being called-out for it, they condemned the Palestinian resistance, and invited a zionist to host the march.

The year before, they banned the Palestinian flag. Then they banned ‘all national flags’, trying to remain neutral during an ongoing genocide in Palestine – in the country arming and funding the genocide.

⌛️ Why We’re Fed Up

“Neutrality” is complicity.
Silence is violence.
No more pinkwashing.
We refuse to perform respectability for oppressors.

Trans BGMs have been fighting for years to be heard in white-centered spaces.

This year, we stop fighting for a corner in their space…

We build our own.

No begging.
No bargaining.
No sidelining our struggles or our siblings in:

Berlin, Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Abya Yala, Haiti, Iran, Lebanon, Cuba, Venezuela, Yemen, everywhere.
