Imagine just wanting to exist but you have detractors, haters, and misogynists always attacking you, then claiming that YOU provoke them when all you did was exist. That's what it is to be #transgender. #TransAwarenessMonth

I was tweeting about being a trans kid, but then I started thinking about when things got really bad and it wasn't very good for me. I'll get there sooner or later.

"If you haven't listened to trans kids, don't speak about them." Please watch this moving video from Mermaids & share. To transphobes: Emily has a voice. You just won't listen to her. #IfIHadAVoice

While trans children and their families feel increasingly afraid to speak out, some of the country's most influential speakers are content to speak about them, speak for them and speak over them Mermaids are fundraising to change it👇🏻#IfIHadAVoice crowdfunder.co.uk/mermaidsvoice

It makes me mad that trans people don't get any credit for the consideration we show. Like, most of us know we are trans for years before transitioning, and we NEVER transgressed gendered spaces so to not upset anyone. We never want to upset anyone. Some just upset themselves.

NHS: Transgender healthcare is about 99% effective for our patients. Newsnight: OMG ONLY 99% SUCCESS - YOU'RE TERRIBLE. WHY ARE PEOPLE TRANS, WHY ARE PEOPLE GAY? YOU DON'T KNOW?? ONMG YOU SUUUK. NHS: Newsnight, are you okay? Do you need counselling?

'Lorraine Kelly has once again thrown her weight behind the LGBTQ community, asserting herself as an ally to the trans community.' attitude.co.uk/article/lorrai… Thank you Lorraine! #withthet

The 'LGB Alliance' is a hate group. It was set up purely to agitate against the rights and dignity of trans people and to drive them from the LGBTQ movement. If people promote bigotry against L, G, B, T or Q people in LGBTQ spaces, they should expect to be asked to leave.

Remember that person claiming they had been contacted by 'hundreds' of people wanting to 'detransition'? The group still has less than 40 patreons, strangely about the same number of people as the trans hate group that spawned it.

first they came for the trans community, and I did not speak out – because I was not trans... then they came for the pansexuals...

This looks like a great event. So important to bring people together in these difficult times and to support organisations like Mermaids who are doing so much to support the trans community

The lockdown just intensifies everything I feel about being trans: I want nothing more to make the world better and take care of my brothers and sisters, but going out and doing it is enormously painful and dangerous. I cower and cry and my fury grows.

This shocking expose uncovering how the TERF cult grooms and manipulates vulnerable #LGBT people is absolutely ESSENTIAL reading! Thank you @AmyDyess for having the courage to speak out 👏🏻💕 #IDAHOBIT #IDAHOBIT2020 #BreakingTheSilence pinknews.co.uk/2020/05/17/ter…

I don’t think I’ll ever get over the disappointment that is J.K Rowling. A woman who taught a generation of kids to stand up for the most vulnerable, only to then turn on them herself. She’s become the evil she taught us to resist.

"Detrans" Twitter is such a joke. TERF: Hey all you detrans peoples!! *crickets* TERF: *creates sockpuppets* Hi me, I'm here!

This is the thing about 'detrans'. It's not a thing. A person is born trans or they are not. There's no opt out. Just as there is no such thing as an "ex gay". Perhaps some cannot cope with transition. They need extra care. Not TERFs who hate and exploit them.

legitimately stunned that CNN didn’t cut Cornel West’s mic. Maybe someone in the control room was just as enraptured as I am
