wes streeting telling trans kids that he empathizes with them because of his experience with the closet and cares about them at the very moment that he's taking away their fundamental rights is beyond enraging www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
In the past few months, I have met with young trans people who have either have been, may be or will be affected by the decisions I and my predecessor have taken. I have listened to their concerns, their fears and their anxieties, and I want to talk to them directly now. I know it’s not easy being a trans kid in our country today, the trans community is at the wrong end of all of the statistics for mental ill health, self-harm and suicide. I can’t pretend to know what that’s like, but I do know what it’s like to feel you have to bury a secret about yourself, to be afraid of who you are, to be bullied for it, and then to experience the liberating experience of coming out. I know it won’t feel like it based on the decisions I’m taking today, but I really do care about this and so does this government. I am determined to improve the quality of care and access to healthcare for all trans people.

How It Went Down, Revised: Salesman之死 and Room, Room, Room …
Two plays that find power in strange historical corners.
