Letโs get one thing clear. 64% of trans kids are bullied for being trans at school. People donโt come out as trans because itโs โtrendyโ. Itโs not trendy. Itโs hard. Trans people face discrimination, harassment and identity denial. Nobody would choose to be trans.
Another day another pathologising, outdated, offensive journal article on trans youth from GIDS. They can't even get basic terminology right. They continue to cite anti trans work. They misgender our kids throughout. The study premise is not aimed at helping our kids. Shameful.
The more people that support broader, more diverse education, the better. You don't have to be LGBTQIA+ to want to support initiatives like this โ allies should want this too!
#HopeForLGBTequality
Write to your local authority and let them know why LGBT inclusive education is so important. And be sure to tell them why trans inclusion is important too.
Our #hopeforLGBTequality is for all trans children and young people to be well supported at school.

This is what censorship actually looks like. It's not when people complain about your art on Twitter. It's when the government comes in to take your books
From today people in #Germany who are vulnerable to getting HIV can get #PrEP (Pre-exposure prophylaxis) for free, covered by the statutory health insurance. In Ireland, we're 4 years into a #HIV crisis. The Irish Govt continue to drag their heels on providing PrEP #PrepIstDa
With fatal transphobic violence on the rise, many trans people donโt feel safe when theyโre out in public. RT if you agree that safe streets should be a right for all, not a privilege for some!
