The YouTube algorithm has not been kind to Nicky's short about Pillion today. It's probably because at one point, she says, 'graphic anal sex' when giving her review.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.
It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.
