My industry is going through a renewed attack by transphobes lately, so let me be clear, I don’t just support trans people, I find the very concept of trans hopeful, utopian, inspiring. There is no world that must be lived in if a better world is possible.

Being an LGBTQ+ person or ally in the arts in the UK means constantly wondering if the person you're talking to at the party is transphobic, is the person you're emailing transphobic, is the person you're hiring/working with/building a professional relationship with transphobic

@ByDonkeys @brexitparty_uk This is shameful and infuriating and will only aid the Brexit party and the ever-rising tide of homophobia in the country. The idea that Britain is by default pro-LGBT is incredibly misguided. Many BP voters will see this and recognise their own views reflected back at them.
