A trans girls death leading to overbearing surveilance of trans kids by transphobic parents would absolutley track.
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.

iif you see people sleeping rough in the snow in London the severe weather protocol is active for Streetlink to get them into somewhere warm: 0300 500 0914

- Sports cap bottle of water
- Sports cap bottle of water

- Saftey shears
- Foil blanket
- Sharpie
- Earplugs
Things that that an unopened sports cap bottle of water can help with:
- Dehydration
- Cleaning wounds
- Washing out eyes
- Cooling people down
- Not raising suspicion
- All RCAs known
Things that the same bottle of malox can maybe help with:

I want the “no other minority would be treated like this” trans people to pay attention to the demonisation of muslims in this country, which has been going on longer than the press have been aware of trans people, and which is only going to get worse in the runup to the election
