A view from the prow of a cream painted Dutch barge, looking towards the brown wooden cabin. A pale green canoe is tied to the top right of the barge top (deck?), a red and white directional sign can be seen to the right and two low lying islands bracket the background view to left and right. It’s a crisp, pale blue, sunny March day.

Particularly worthy of attention because she specifies it was a mixed emergency ward, so there is no claim to be made that it's about protecting women's facilities. It's not even a claim that trans people are their birth sex. It is, instead a demand that trans people not be in hospital AT ALL.
