They always do this. Every fucking time they want to make policies about us, they contact transphobic activists instead of actual experts on the question. What fucking expertise does she have?! And even more, haven't you done enough against trans people already? Like, you need to justify doing more against them, seriously?

The internet has often talked about how some of the states in the US are run by people who are absolutely deranged about trans people, but the UK is just something else.

"Pride month? Oh no! How can I make this about me?"

Definitely.

I wish I could say I didn't have this thought in the back of my mind every time I go to one, but I'd be lying. Too many events were cancelled because of threats. However, I'd also say that if anything, it gives me even more to reason to go. I refuse to be scared out of participating.

I'm really thankful to my local anti-fascist groups for always being there, on the lookout for incoming dipshits and overall, doing what cops won't do for our safety.

I don't always go, I'll admit, but I try to. Depends on my stress level that day.
