Trans people aren’t weak. We are at breaking point. Transphobia has utterly consumed UK institutions and we have been left to suffer. Enough. I’m fighting back. ✊

#tldr the #QueensSpeech announced that UK government refuses to ban conversion therapy. Instead, government proposed protecting a limited number of people from abuse if they can prove they aren’t trans. Just another green light to abuse trans people #BanConversionTherapy

Trans & gender diverse children have been made the target of bullying, harassment, and widespread abuse. For years, we have failed to protect these children from the harm caused by transphobic idiots on the internet. Enough. Stand with Mermaids and #protecttranskids

Had I known about Mermaids, I could have had support earlier in life. Instead, I lost friends, family, and my dignity fighting with uninformed doctors in my twenties. Mermaids is a lifesaver for so many children & families. Support if you can mermaidsuk.org.uk/donate/

Redesign trans healthcare FOR trans people. Finally. Informed consent ✅ Autonomy respected ✅ proactive care & support ✅ de-centralised and democratic access to the right services and support ✅ The alternative is conversion therapy for kids and waiting for the adults to die

There is absolutely no question that trans people will achieve their liberation in the UK - the question is how many trans people will die needlessly while we fight for change? Transphobia is violent is damaging. If you’re not with trans people yet, where are you?

You can hate trans people. But we won’t go anywhere. You can abuse trans people. But we won’t go anywhere. You can change laws and discriminate against trans people. But we won’t go anywhere. You can make it harder for trans people to be happy. But we aren’t going anywhere

Sending massive amounts of positive energy to everyone Mermaids. They’re dealing with targeted, personal threats and a vicious campaign to smear them. If you’re Mermaids staff, volunteers, or are supported by them - we’re with you ✊ #protecttranskids

I’m avoiding going to A&E in London - my GP sent me there on Thursday because I need emergency care - but what’s the point? I won’t get seen for days, & I’ll block the path for other patients in emergencies. What should I do Rishi Sunak & Steve Barclay
