A year ago today I fought for my local community, achieving the second best @scottishgreens.org Westminster result in history 💚
And I wouldn’t change it for the world, we’ll keep fighting for that better world, no matter how much the government tries to push us down ‼️

5 years ago today I was referred to a gender identity clinic.
I am still waiting to be seen.
Odds are - I won’t be seen for another 10 years. Vital healthcare is being withheld from myself and thousands of others and the establishment does not care.
How do we even fight that?

Glasgow stands proudly against genocide.
From South Africa to Israel, this will be an Apartheid free city.
Stand up, fight back, be heard.
When this is over, when Palestine is free, will you be able to say you did everything to stop this?
