Trans people need hope right now

After marriage equality was made the law of the land by the US Supreme Court in 2015, trans people have been, to varying degrees, a political issue in both the US and UK.

It started with bathroom bills in 2016, and the infamous fallout of North Carolina’s HB2, and has moved through several layers of moral panic since then. We’re at the point now in the discourse where conservatives and edgy centrist pundits are labelling anyone even remotely supportive of trans people as “groomers,” insinuating that they are akin to pedophiles.
