As many others have said, transphobia is rife in our culture at the moment. It is announced gleefully on TV, and many days I cannot walk into a newsagents without seeing numerous papers spitefully celebrating the latest wrong committed against us. It is *mainstream* and unavoidable.

If you want to be seen as supportive, and if you want to earn the trust of our community, your involvement in this tone-deaf initiative is not the way.
