I am a professional writer and editor - and rather good at copy-editing and proofreading. I'm happy to volunteer my services to any trans or gay rights organisation that can use them (as long as I'm not depriving anybody of a paid job!)
If you need help, contact me!

The 'Murder Board' meme - a manic-looking man in chinos, a short-sleeved shirt and striped tie gesticulating in front of a wall covered in notes, photos and red tape.
It's actually a scene from "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia"

If you’re in a disastrous Joseph Losey film with Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and Noël Coward, it’s Boom!scrolling.

Club's classic advertising slogan citing its chocolate content is no longer in use, replaced by: "If you like a lot of biscuit in your break, join our Club."

I'd like to see Jay Leno's collection (and workshops) - there's someone with admirably eclectic taste.
