If you are not coming to Queer Jamaicans defense against the statements of the Prime Minister then you are an enemy to equality and humanity.

The gag is not even in physiology do you see strict lines along the female and male sex with there being variations among sexual development. But these arguments typically come from people who don’t even know the difference between sex and gender so I’m wasting my damn breath.
I get what you’re trying to say, but you’ve basically reduced a whole field of science and lived experience to “clothes = gender", which is… impressively wrong.
Gender isn’t a Halloween costume, and nobody said a Zara haul turns you into a different sex. That’s a strawman you built, decorated, and are now arguing with.
Meanwhile, the actual point — that gender (identity, roles, expression) and sex (biological traits) aren’t the same thing — flew over your head like it paid rent.
You didn’t simplify the issue. You just oversimplified yourself.

The only values Jamaica can stand on is transphobia.
We will bend the knee to keep economically safe but the rights and dignity of queer people is not to be debated, is not up for discussion.
LGBT Jamaican learning their PM said fuck you in a budget speech is disrespectful af

“Man is a man. Woman is a woman.”
This isn’t just a statement, it’s an oversimplification of gender that erases the lives of transgender Jamaicans. Gender isn’t always binary, yet statements like this, repeated by public figures, reinforce stigma, justify exclusion, and put queer and trans people at risk. From Bruce Golding’s “not in my cabinet” to the recent use of anti-gay song “Chi-Chi Man” by Daryl Vaz on his campaign trail, such rhetoric shapes culture, policy, and safety.
Queer and trans Jamaicans are not new. We are not a trend. We are not imported. Our lives, identities, and contributions have always been part of our society.
So we have to ask… Who gets to belong - and at what cost?
