Its not easy to say this, but victims of hideous crimes are not necessarily experts on prevention. Campaigns like this are misguided, but they’re less likely to be scrutinised. MPs know this and use it to their advantage when they tag along and avoid committing to real change.

Last year the Regional Court of Cologne ruled that denying that trans people were targeted by the Nazis qualifies as "a denial of Nazi crimes".
Reporters need to cover this story and get comment from

This is Rosie Duffield, a Labour MP, liking a tweet that contains Holocaust revisionism. Trans people and gay people were sent to die in concentration camps by the Nazis.
This is a historical fact, and it is disgusting that a sitting Labour MP would approve of its denial.

Not every teenager has loving parents. Imagine a young person at a school that outs trans/non-binary students to their parents (something the Tories are pushing for). They want to access help online, but it’s flagged to an abusive caregiver as “harmful.” They’re trapped.
