Trans women are routinely denied healthcare, safe housing and dignity.
This isn’t an accident. It is hate, fuelled by those in power.

As more & more British money disappeared into Chinese pockets to pay for tea, there developed a vital need to sell something to China to stop the haemorrhage of gold. From 1780, the East India Company realised that India already produced a product the Chinese would willingly pay for: opium.
