I am truly horrified at what is happening in the UK at the moment. Stay strong people and families. 🏳️‍⚧️

Like just be nice to trans people. They're pretty chill

We will be avoiding any news media for the next week as the level of vitriol and hatred against trans people by pundits and politicians, including from Sunak, is soul-sapping. Shame on the UK.

This is heartbreaking - no trans boy or trans girl should be misgendered, bullied & made to feel worthless. Trans kids are bearing the brunt of an intolerant transphobic society. We are failing the most vulnerable. It is unacceptable. RIP Charlie Millers.
