Det irriterer med grenseløst at ciskvinner som meg blir brukt som grunn for å hate på transfolk. Signer oppropet, Not in our name!
To mark the 1st day of my 4th year without Alice I have an announcement:
I’ve joined up with a determined group of women working to change the narrative around trans people. Women standing in solidarity with our trans siblings.
Our first step is to ask cis women to read and sign our open letter ⬇️
