When trans folk say organisations like Sex Matters (which have the ear of govt ministers) want to ‘eliminate trans people’ I know that sounds febrile/alarmist. But the fact is they simply want to make transition illegal/impossible. I would not be alive today if I could not have transitioned.

Finally... keep up the pressure
Good news, better shamefully late than never. Everything is far far far too slow but the once solid wall of western support for Israel by default is eroding brick by brick for many months now.

It's not asylum seekers who jack up rents, undermine the NHS, hold down wages and keep people insecure.
It's capital.
The role of the far right is to shift the blame for decades of economic attacks by the rich and powerful onto powerless people who have only just arrived here.
