Today is Trans Day of Remembrance.
Sending love and solidarity to all trans+ people and those who have lost a trans+ loved one through violence or state oppression and neglect.
And a special thought for those who will have taken their lives without ever disclosing their trans identity.

The sad thing is Gill could have avoided prison by taking a more respectable path—accepting bribes from Israel
If Gill had taken £40,000 from a generous Israeli who wanted nothing in return, he could have avoided prison by repeating the phrase “Israel has a right to defend itself” five times a day

It’s kinda awkward that the BBC has spent the last decade boosting Nigel Farage, isn’t it?
The Reform leader has expressed his admiration for Putin and been photographed with the wife of the oligarch who was bribing Gill
I’m sure this is just a coincidence though…

Imagine, if you can, a parent whose love was not up to the task of saving their child from the environment Wes Streeting has created for young trans people. Imagine the effect on that bereaved parent of a coroner who saw that tragedy as a stage on which to perform their own prejudice.
The tendency of Coroners to ignore guidance from the Chief Coroner, the reality of trans existence, and the wishes of bereaved parents, and express their own views in the death certificate, is both contemptible and unlawful.
We have a legal team ready to go; we will challenge it in the High Court.
