Having presented as a butch woman for 15yrs I know how it feels to be shouted at in a women’s toilet, have security drag you out, be called a predator/pervert. Any new law around trans women & toilets will make life difficult for ANYONE not fitting society’s idea of womanhood.
Over the moon to announce that Hannah and I are expecting baby number 2! The hugest thanks to our amazing surrogate who wanted to do it all again for us!❤️🙏🏼👶🏻
A summary of my life: at 3, already aware I’m male, too young to be heard. 8, fighting daily for my male identity, deeply unhappy. 18 & broken, trying to live a lie. ☺️ Now. Happy. Living honestly. Free. Try as you may, you can’t knock it out of us. Let trans people be.

HAPPY TRANS AWARENESS WEEK!! Please remember, we are human beings the same as everyone else and just want to live in peace. The mindless little bigots aren’t worth your time or energy. Sending love to you all! Please be kind. ❤️🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

The only way to parent, at least if you want your child in your life as you grow old. When a child says ‘This is who I am’, your job is to say ‘Welcome home’. Love, kindness and unconditional acceptance.❤️🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

Like Linehan before her, this is clearly more than just ‘concern for women’ & now a rather strange & unhealthy obsession for punching down on a tiny minority already experiencing widespread violence and murder.

#ThisIsWhatTransLooksLike
I lived as a woman for 30yrs, as a tomboy & butch lesbian. Tried so hard to make it stick it nearly killed me. Through it all I knew I was a man. This is NOT about conversion. As I couldn’t make a transman into a lesbian, you CANNOT make a lesbian into a transman! Stop the lies!
A true trailblazer of the trans community has left us. April Ashley MBE was the definition of grace and humility, despite having fought hard throughout her life for her place in society.
A true queen. Gone, but never forgotten. Rest in power.❤️🏳️⚧️
This year’s

World’s most well known transphobe JK Rowling given an award by the BBC commemorating the ‘bravery’ of her hate speech while BBC staff prevented from attending Pride events because it was deemed too ‘political’. How did we get here? 🙈
JK sending ‘big love’ to an anti gay marriage, anti abortion, anti LGBTQ activist truly signals just how lost she has become in her crusade against trans people. Surely she has someone close to her who can help educate her on the damage she’s now doing?🤦🏻♂️

Badenoch claiming today that there is an "epidemic of young gay children being told they are trans" & transitioning is a 'form of conversion therapy' is an outrageous lie. She knows it & so do we. Desperate flailing from a sinking political party. Leave trans people alone!❤️🏳️⚧️

Received ANOTHER message from a desperate mum whose trans daughter has just tried to kill herself after waiting YEARS for blockers. The fanciful & loathsome rhetoric pushed by UK media is a dangerous pack of lies, doing immeasurable harm to our vulnerable community.
#trans
Self ID for trans people legal in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Ecuador, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Portugal, Switzerland and Uruguay. The UK is now embarrassingly behind in terms of equality & progress.
‘TOP cop has insisted trans ID issues around sex crimes are not a priority - because the force is dealing with SEVEN rape reports every day-1229 in 6 months-yet the force had yet to encounter a single trans attacker.’ Don’t believe the bigots.
"I've wanted to be a father all my life and never thought as a transperson growing up it would be something I would have"
Hannah and Jake Graf have become the UK's first transgender parents.
They delayed baby Millie's bathtime to tell

about their modern miracle.
A surprise to no one that when trans people are allowed to transition and live authentically, they are immeasurably happier.😊And once again for the bigots, being transgender is a condition recognised by the World Health Organisation.
The current onslaught of hate being levied at the

Gender Identity Clinics will stop prescribing puberty blockers, which fall
under gender affirming healthcare, to young people. Trans kids exist & aren't going anywhere. All the bigots are doing is making their lives harder & unliveable. Shameful.
‘Little Women’ author Lou Alcott was a transgender man. Our history is important. We have been around forever, and are only growing in numbers.❤️🏳️⚧️☺️

More hate mongering from the bigoted Conservatives and Attorney General. Having spent years apologising for Section 28 and the damage it caused, they are now gearing up for something similar. No place for this in 2022 UK. Protect our LGBTQ young folk. GET THEM OUT.
#Section28
The true horror of Maya Forstater’s campaign against trans people. Aiming to ‘establish that “gender-critical” views are protected beliefs... ‘ A cunning, poisonous long-game to legalise and legitimise transphobia. Supported by a top children’s author.😫
