It’s Trans Day of Remembrance today, which can be a difficult and upsetting time. We know social media in particular can be a tough place to be for trans and non-binary people & their loved ones, especially on days like today. We’re here to listen and stand alongside you (1/3)

#WillAndHarper. The pain of self-loathing and the distrust of any love and support, and how they feed each other. What a journey to share. Thank you, Harper.

Someone needs to get trash construct Ricky Gervais and his yapping fanboys to watch this incredible documentary if they genuinely want to understand what comedic freedom and bravery look like. Queer and trans legends, we all stand on your shoulders. Thank you.

Prison is not and never will be a space of safety.
In light of today's Safety in Custody statistics, showing again rising levels of self-harm, we echo @WIP_live's calls for the government to prioritise prevention, and invest in the community-based support women really need.
Women in Prison@WIP_live

Just 20 years ago, after tireless struggle, Section 28 was defeated. But now we have another generation of LGBT+ youth growing up in a climate of dangerous hostility. We must not give an inch to anti-trans bigotry. Like our movement won then, we will win again. #LGBTplusHM

What makes transphobia right wing is not some right wing people supporting it, it's that it's about restricting bodily autonomy and enforcing heteronormativity and rigid gender categories. If you think you can be "gender critical" without doing these you're kidding yourself.

A pride month filled with politicians debating trans people’s right to exist it is then. It’s never been more important to stand with trans people against the hateful rhetoric used by almost all parties. Let’s remember pride is a protest and make ourselves heard 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
