92% of trans people consider suicide

1 in 8 have been physically attacked at work

41% suffer a hate crime over a year

Transphobic hate crimes have trebled in 5 years

Yet transphobes in powerful positions pretend they're courageous victims as they bait a marginalised minority.
There's nothing new about opponents of minorities pretending they're the real victims, hounded just for "speaking the truth"

It's still nauseating to watch transphobes in a country in which most of the media is on their side pretend they're the ones being silenced and persecuted
Courage is standing up for minorities against those who bait, ridicule and persecute them.

Courage is never adding your own personal contribution to a mountain of bigotry piled on the shoulders of trans people.
I've just seen a Labour MP claim that supporters of trans rights are Communists, like a very bad parody of Donald Trump.
