Radical protesters took to the streets during London’s Trans+ Pride march on Saturday, shouting “God is trans.”
A man dressed as a woman can be heard saying “God is trans,” with the rest of the crowd echoing his words. Andy Ngo shared the footage on Twitter.
A second clip shows an activist yelling: “F*ck assimilation, trans liberation.”
A third clip features a protester claiming that trans people have historically been revered as deities.
"For most of recorded history, and in most cultures around the world, gender-variant people have been revered and respected for our beauty, our holiness, our artistry, our resplendence, our capacity to heal, and our role as divine intermediaries into sacred knowledge and unseen worlds and truth," the protester said.
It was at this same event that the UK Metropolitan police opened an investigation into a trans-identified Sarah Jane Baker, who was convicted of attempted murder and served 30 years in prison. The investigation came after Baker threatened extreme violence on women during the London Trans Pride march.
"I was gonna come here and be really fluffy and be really nice and say ‘yeah, be really lovely and queer and gay.’ Nah. If you see a TERF, punch them in the f*cking face!" Baker said to cheers from the crowd.
Following the remarks, Baker was reported for inciting violence, but the Met police initially said that they wouldn’t be pursuing the case because Baker’s violent comments were apparently protected under free speech, per Daily Mail.
