Catherine O’Hara speaking at John Candy’s funeral.
Catherine O’Hara always radiates such warmth. I’m sure her soul is now right there beside John Candy and God and she hoped. Smushed into the back of a minivan on her way home.

Yes.
It's also important to remember that the *other side*, despite having had significant success in infiltrating media and political circles, has also taken a multi-pronged approach *and they've had plenty of failures, too*.
It's that last point that's important.
Keep. Moving. Forward.

Good opportunities for Trans+ people who are interested in making change through politics.
We do need more Trans+ people in politics across the parties, in the support teams and eventually as MPs.

I've been working on this horrific story, about Matthew Pringle, the vastly wealthy businessman who tricked DJ Liv Nervo into carrying his child, and then sued her into the bargain, for several years. Very pleased finally to be able to share it with you.
Liv Nervo speaks out against the man who tricked her into pregnancy
Liv Nervo was six months pregnant when she discovered her partner had another family. When she tried to speak up, he spent years dragging her through the courts. We're helping her tell her story.

💯I remember PFC and those who led it with enormous respect and gratitude. They achieved so much for our community and helped set the conditions that prevailed until the UKSC judgement smashed the consensus last year. We can learn so much from them.

Arguments being weaponised against trans individuals are exactly the same as those used against others in the LGBTQIA+ community in 80's/90's under things like Section 28, something which Labour in the UK has brought back against trans and non-binary individuals. 1/

As someone who has used the Ladies’ Pond myself, I am glad that it will remain an inclusive and safe space for all women.

Our history reveals our humanity. Our humanity is what is being stripped from us today and what we desperately need to remind people of to demand a better future.
