Kate @katermn.bsky.social · 16/04/2025Many of the best people I meet are trans. Some of the biggest advocates for justice. No trans woman has ever threatened my rights. Today’s ruling is a win for hypothetical scenarios that barely exist in reality, and causes real life pain and anxiety for people already enduring so much. 040

Kate @katermn.bsky.social · 07/02/2025This ⬇️ It’s a sign that there’s something v wrong with society if one job isn’t enough to survive on And these people no doubt would be the first to complain about standards slipping.
