Almost 60,000 women have signed this petition by @nionwomen.bsky.social women to say that the transphobes do not speak for them. Meanwhile the Daily Express front-pages seven transphobes, falsely claiming that they “represent women”. If they do not represent you. Please sign.

We want the media and politicians to recognise there's a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

It can be tough sometimes and we all struggle.

To help, we developed a health guide on Mental health & homelessness, made in partnership with Mind back in 2022.

There's lots of great content and advice in there which is still useful.
