Heartbreaking VIDEO for all my cis followers on here (please share with any other cis people you may know) It’s about Andy Burnham’s new Transphobic Section 28 in schools and the harm caused to one trans child as a result. I never say this but I will now; Please watch don’t scroll.

REMEMBER The guidance coming into effect today doesn't dictate what you're allowed to do as an individual. It for service providers and business owners. Do not cower in fear, do not reduce yourself, do not isolate, that is one of the intended effects.

THE LARAMIE PROJECT
somebody's feet and I got out of my vehicle and raced over—I seen what appeared to be a young man, thirteen, fourteen years old because he was so tiny laying on his back and he was tied to the bottom end of a pole.
I did the best I could. The gentleman that was laying on the ground, Matthew Shepard, he was covered in dry blood all over his head, there was dry blood underneath him and he was barely breathing... he was doing the best he could.
I was going to breathe for him and I couldn't get his mouth open-his mouth wouldn't open for me.
He was covered in, like I said, partially dry blood and blood all over his head-the only place that he did not have any blood on him, on his face, was what appeared to be where he had been crying down his face.
His head was distorted, you know, it did not look normal-he looked as if he had a real harsh head wound.
DR. CANTWAY: I was working the emergency room the night Matthew Shepard was brought in. I don't think ... that any of us, ah, can remember seeing a patient in that condition for a long time—those of us who've worked in big city hospitals have seen this. Ah, but we have some people here who've not worked in a big city hospital. And, ah, it's not something* expect here.
Ah, you expect it, you expect this kind come from a car going down a hill at el hour. You

One year ago, trans women held an iconic topless protest outside Scottish Parliament. I love it when trans women hold topless demonstrations. If they're arrested, the state must admit they're women. If they aren't, it exposes the obvious absurdity of defining trans women as male.
