Fresh off the Tories announcing their plan to strip trans people of, well, everything, opposition leader, Sir Queer Harmer, has decided to get in on the act.

Both parties are going into the next election on a platform of, “everything wrong in your life is the fault of people who are not like you, and we will make their lives hard”, because they need a scapegoat, and trans (women) are that scapegoat.

I’ve been talking to a lot of my trans sisters in the UK. The general feeling is one of fear, and even panic, with people desperately trying to work out how they can get away.

This war will be won, but it will not be won by our generation. We have lost this battle, and our main priority should probably be our personal safety.

The next battles will be for abortion, for gay and lesbian rights, for women’s equality. They will likely be lost in the short term too. We warned all of you years ago that this was coming. We begged for help, if not for our sake, then for self-interest, but it mostly did not come.

The UK, and US, are going into the darkness for anyone whose face doesn’t fit. Good luck, everyone, Stay safe.
