These are dark days for the LGBT community here in the UK.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If for some reason you’re not prepared to stand up for the sake of trans people, then at the very least do it for your own. Because this Supreme Court decision will have ripple effects on other communities. Because it always does. They never stop at just one group of people. If the rights of one group are questioned, then everyone’s rights can be questioned. Gay. Straight. Black. White. Cis. We’re all vulnerable. Unless you fit a very specific criteria of what “normal” is, they will eventually come for you too. They always do.
