"I just don't know what I can and can't say any more". Hearing this a lot this year was the impetus for us to start the Speakeasier podcast @_unmistakables. @benbrooksdutton and I started having conversations about diversity and inclusion that we wanted everyone to eavesdrop on.

For many trans people, Christmas can be a difficult time, having to hide your identity or getting mis-gendered and dead-named. 😞 We see you. We support you. You are very welcome here 🏳️⚧️🌟
A huge thank you to @bbcasiannetwork and @Mobeen_Azhar for shedding a light on LGBTQ+ youth homelessness 💜🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Hey loves, we all have a voice, and @aktcharity is here to create a safe space for us to fearlessly share our stories. Do consider sharing and spreading the word. Big up to @gaysians_uk for ALL of this beautiful work they do! Big mad love to you all! 🙌🏽🙏🏽♥️xo
Happy Transgender day of Remembrance. Especially my Black Trans siblings: you’re sculpted from Maa Gaia’s womb, the ethereal divine songs of the cosmos make the rhythm of your hearts. I love you, I’ll always strive to do better to stand by you, in solidarity. 🙌🏽🙏🏽❤️
@bbcasiannetwork i think more of a focus on LGBT homelessness within the south asian community needs looking at ESPECIALLY for those OVER a certain age. some people in their late 20s/early 30s who live at home with family (as the norm) may struggle with this if coming out too..
For the last 18 months, @_taraki__ have been working with Punjabi LGBTQ+ communities to create a space for improving individual & collective well-being.
Their next open group with @SarbatSikhs for Punjabi LGBTQ+ folks will be taking place next week!

At least 37 transgender and gender-nonconforming people have been killed this year, most of them Black and Brown transgender women. It’s intolerable. This Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor their lives—and recommit to the work that remains to end this epidemic of violence.
