🚨 New police powers could ban face coverings at Pride protests even if you need to protect your identity because:
🔴 Risk of domestic abuse
🔴 You're not out as queer/Trans+
🔴 Fear of political views being made public
Health and disability reasons also won't prevent you getting arrested 🧵Here's why

Hi, pals! Sadly, we won't be running Transoup in October.
We're a community effort, and we sometimes get low on organising capacity. This month is one of those times.
If you'd like Transoup to run more often, there are ways you can help! Read on to find out how to get involved ❤️

This is what nearly a decade of "just asking questions" transphobia in our media and political system has led to. Make no mistake, this is absolutely a crisis.
