I have gotten so much hate today for merely pointing out the facts around Khelif situation. She is not Trans. Stop saying she was in order to push you anti woke anti trans agendas.
Khelif is a female with genetic abnormalities. The people who are attacking her are sick in the head or doing it for engagement. Some situations just don’t have a right answer. Stop promoting hate and start understanding the nuances of every situation.
📣 Protest Alert ‼️
We’ve spoken with our Queer Ghanaian Siblings and they want to make noise and place some pressure. So join us, at protest in London, UK, against Ghana’s anti-LGBTQ Bill passed on 28/02/2024 by the Parliament of Ghana, now awaiting the assent of the President Nana #NAkufoAddo
Many of you are asking what can you do, come out, show your solidarity, support and play your part in not being silent! ✊🏾 (also please share)
