1/6 Since we put this up 36 hours ago, nearly 3000 people have hit the page! Keep at it, keep sharing, please!

Imagine if everyone who attended protests wrote, and asked 5 more to do so?

Please watch this tragic but trans positive piece by Katy Ling about the death of Eden Knight. There's no dead naming or misgendering, even though it's published by the BBC
