I’m disgusted by the levels of transphobia on here. @BBCWomansHour is a space to discuss everything including LGBTQ+ issues. Listening to people’s stories helps us understand something and hopefully empathise. Ditch the hate 🌈.

I can’t stop thinking about #AzeemRafiq and the strength and courage it has taken to speak out. His testimony is triggering for many of us. PoC have had to deal with racism and then we are the ones with the problem if we mention it. No more! We are with you Azeem.

Some of the papers reaction to Meghan and Harry is like a terrible Indian melodrama. Gossipy aunties who can’t tolerate anyone living their own lives. Breaking away from the family?! ‘Hai hai’ I mean, seriously. They are free to do what they want. #liveyourlife.
