#TransAwarenessWeek
🧵Trigger warning: suicide
I am the proud mum of a trans woman, Alice.
Alice came out to her best friend, Lucy when she was fifteen, to her sister, Kate a year later. She didn’t come out to me. Why not? Probably because I’d absorbed media transphobia 1/
@ScottingtonPost@DomLeGros@failblunderblnd@CaraLisette 9250 for tuition,13k for maintenance, my rent is £700 a month. So with the bursary I get 18k this year which sounds a lot but is actually considerably lower than London Living Wage. Obviously this topic is completely separate to why nurses are striking but this is my experience.
@DomLeGros@ScottingtonPost@failblunderblnd@CaraLisette I’m a student nurse in London, I get 5k bursary throughout the year (which I’m v thankful for as it just about helps to keeps me afloat on top of finance) however I will be leaving uni with 70k debt & will have worked 2300+ hours for free ☺️
