I had zero sleep & feeling weird.
I live in a basement flat, my toilet became the exit route for all waste.
There was 2 deep meters of literal 💩 blocking & my toilet was the only exit left. I had to use buckets 🤢.
Freeholders have paid to fix the problem, it's 💩 that they don't maintain anything.

There's a lot of fear of transphobia in the media.

This is good news. It's been 5 years since the harm report & a decade of contact at all costs.
I knew a mother who's ex broke her arm in front of their child.
There was court ordered contact from 8-11. The child was terrified, was harmed & still it took 3 years before the child was listened too.
