Our last spotlight this #lgbtqhistorymonth is April Ashley.

A successful fashion model, April was outed as a trans woman in 1961.

Ashley was one of the first Britons to undergo sex reassignment surgery. Ashley was awarded an MBE for her services to transgender equality in 2012.

If saying no has a consequence - like being dumped, threatened, medication or money withheld - then saying yes means nothing. That's not consent.

#ItsNotOK to be forced, coerced, manipulated or tricked into any type of sexual contact.
Sex without consent is rape.
Consent is freely given, enthusiastic & a choice.

#Itsnotok that #rapemyths persist both in society & in our criminal justice system.
There's still so much work to do to change attitudes and behaviour across the board.
