No one has rights until everyone has rights

Wednesday 16 April was one of the biggest legal attacks on trans rights in my living history. I heard the news with frustration and anger leading to a sense of insecurity in living in the UK. I heard the feeling likened to the sense of grieving that happened at the beginning of the COVID lockdown. Only this time, we are not in it together. This time we saw people cheering in a courtroom as they stripped trans people of their identities, erased non binary people and ignored the existence of intersex people.
