a sad yet familiar fact to many British trans people is that the UK is a hotbed of relentless transphobic campaigning. one trans-led organisation focused on countering that is @TransActualUK https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/11/18/transactual-uk-fight-transphobia-trans-awareness-week-activists-liz-truss/
