Anyone can become disabled at any time.

Your life can change in an instant, no matter how strong and healthy you think you are.

A Trans Girl Approached Me in the Ladies’ Bathroom and It Bothered Me. Here’s Why. Why the girls’ bathroom is a sacred space for women and how we must seek to keep it that way.

They shouldn’t need permission to exist.

Yet that’s exactly what the regime is attempting to do to trans people, and it’s wrong.

This was a beautiful read (have tissues handy!)
