Hard-won, vital legal protections have been upended – ultimately our lawmakers must fix this, says director of Trans+ Solidarity Alliance, Alexandra Parmar-Yee
I know I noticed it seem like almost overnight a few years ago that a bunch of American places online were suddenly angry about it. But no one in the real world cared. If it’s regional in the UK then I would guess London follows the US more than the rest of us?
