A fox killed one of our chickens. It was horrible. I understood the fox needed to eat and it was our fault for poor security measures. We are part of nature. Its arrogance to think otherwise. To kill for 'fun' is barbaric

This is a poignant day for many reasons but I can't help thinking of my mum. She lived by Betty, at 18, married to a black guy and excluded from her family. Betty took her under her wing β€ She recognized me as mums daughter years later. A special lady β€
I'm a cis woman. Trans women are more than welcome to share any space with me I will feel safe doing so as would my teenage daughter. I'm a feminist and I believe in rights and equality for ALL women without the exclusion of anyone.

Thank you. There are no 2 sides. Human rights aren't up for debate. Health professionals need to be kind and inclusive otherwise how will they provide a good service? I'm glad you are looking into it.

Cis woman here. I've had half a bloody century of misogyny, sexual gropping in bars and gross comments from male strangers. I had NEVER felt unsafe or had problems with trans women. Unlike many of the haters, I actually know trans women. They are fellow women and good friends.

A sad few days for us in the LGBTQ+ community. Transphobia from JK Rowling (so disappointed) and toxic hatred fired at Rev Richard Coles for grieving the death of his husband.
During the same time, another child I know has bravely come out as trans. It has to be better for them.
