Do I die or do I eat? Do I die if I dare to eat? How can I not die to feed my children?

Today is Trans Day of Visibility.
And we need to be real about what that means in 2025.
This isn’t just a day of celebration. It’s a day of resistance. Of community. Of standing up for trans people whose rights, safety, and dignity are under full-scale attack.

Renad, an 11-year-old girl from Gaza, posted a message on her Instagram story yesterday. It read: "I'm scared."
She was living through Israel breaking the ceasefire and killing hundreds of Palestinians, including children.
This is wrong. Why is that so hard for our media and politicians to say?
