Picked this up from LoneMagpie. It's a subject that's a little too close to home for both of us at the moment, although more so for him as Eris was a friend of his. Eris was a fan who went to the same cons as us. She was also a transwoman. Was, because she committed suicide two weeks ago. I don't know the details of what happened, but I have no doubt that a contributing factor was the vicious hatred whipped up by elements of the press earlier this year against another transwoman.
I'm cis-gendered. But some of my friends and acquaintances aren't, and I don't want to be mourning any more of them before their time.
This is a Direct.Gov epetition, and you need to be a British citizen or UK resident to sign it. I doubt it will have any direct influence. But it might make a few MPs think about the issues.
