After being told that I must wait eight months to get help for being sexually assaulted. He was a stranger. I have decided to go privately. Unfortunately, I can't afford to do this. Will you help me get the help and support that I desperately need?

Using the words of she who must not be named, I have changed something rubbish into something beautiful.

#transjoyisbeautiful and I see it every day. If anyone dares to say that there is no such thing, you don't know any trans people. It's everywhere.

NO cruel cuts to benefits

The Government is planning “catastrophic” cuts that experts say will force disabled people into poverty. Don’t think that’s right? Add your name now.

Here is this week's poem based on being #Rooted

#RootedInChosenFamily is all about how important chosen family is to people. Especially members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I an not a parasite, I am a decent human being that supports trans people, queer or questioning people, intersex people, asexual people and the many other people who come under the plus.

@ofcom.bsky.social I'm struggling to see how this channel has not been banned yet!

Content warning: In a GB News discussion about LGBTQIA+ people, this contributor describes TQIA+ as "parasitic". This is a textbook example of dehumanising rhetoric. actionstorm.org/petitions/ma...

I spoke to a director of the company this week about what's it doing to make men better allies. The fact that he doesn't know it being a problem in the company, it was a bit of a shock. I said that it has happened to me. I just had flashbacks to when it happened.

This is atrocious. @ofcom.bsky.social why are these outdated views being allowed to be shared on a national news channel?

There's misogyny, then there is this.
