I was 17 years old when this story ran. I am very aware that if I had been 27, there's a good chance I wouldn't be here to remind you of it. I try never to forget that as much as I chose my own path in life, I also got lucky.

TERF ideology is like a black light except instead of revealing grim stains on your hotel sheets it reveals grim people who were previously hiding in plain sight
This is genuinely staggering. Someone explains they’re just living their life, family, comfort, normality.
Murphy’s response is to lecture them that their basic rights are a “negotiation” they’re failing at?
What a patronising prick, human rights are inherent!
Cruel, inhumane & indefensible!
