Today and every day, we honour the lives of all our trans siblings worldwide who have been taken from us. Each name represents a person, a community, a story cut short. Their stories endure in our memory and in our ongoing struggle for justice.

Cannot stop staring at this. How can you claim to support sex workers while also arguing they're too stupid to advocate for themselves?
"These women sound too smart, therefore, it's safe to assume they are actually men"
Beyond dehumanizing.

3/16 MP Gudrun Nordborg: ‘I was subjected to a mailstorm from those who call themselves sx workers. How can people without education express themselves so eloquently? There’s a pimp on another level who writes these emails’

People who assume sex workers are uneducated don't actually know any sex workers.
I have three college degrees and over a decade of classroom teaching experience.
That's the case for most of the SWers I know.
