This is my careful and transparent reporting of a surge in suicides of young trans people that was attacked in the Louis Appleby (a man who uses transphobic language and counts numerous anti trans activists amongst his associates) review commissioned by Wes Streeting. I stood by it then - and now.👇🏻
Am sharing here a thread I wrote on twitter last year about what I could then see from evidence, whistleblower and contemporaneous, about deaths by suicide of young trans people on the waiting list. 🧵

Interesting how the Indigenous woman kidnapped from the Conscious flotilla isn't getting a fraction of the attention as white participants. Even articles aren't naming her! Her name is Mskwaasin Agnew.

I think this is dismissive - many people have curiosity removed from them through childhood - leaving school believing science , poetry, art - are not things they are allowed to be part of and terrified that if they try to engage they will be admonished for not understanding things the “right” way

My fellow Cishet white dudes: It's going to be very easy to put our heads in the sand the next two years and just look away for our own well being and sanity. But we can't just look away. Our trans friends need us. Our queer friends need us. The women in our lives need us. They can't win this alone.
