The extremes: In Afghanistan women are forced to cover, hide, stay out of education, away from windows, avoid the gaze of men. In Scotland women are forced to get changed in front of men, indulge the gaze of men. #IStandWithSandiePeggie

@DearRebelAda Why would a man, even if he identifies as a woman, be prioritised above a transplant patient? Was there something seriously wrong with him? Why would he get a side room? The female transplant patient died? I cannot get my head around this
