This International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, let's raise our voices for justice.

This our ask is that you spare two minutes to call on your MP take a stand for trans youth.

All young people deserve an accepting and supportive school environment to learn and be their authentic selves. But the UK Government’s draft trans guidance for schools in England seeks to prevent that.

Please write to your MP, asking them put pressure on the Government to ensure the final guidance encourages safe and supportive schools for all young people.

We’ve put together a template that means it takes just two minutes: https://mermaidsuk.org.uk/schools/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=supportive_schools&utm_content=IDAHOBIT

Today marks the start of the first ever Trans History Week - it's time for the history lesson we never had.

Trans+ History Week is a week-long reflective period to learn and celebrate the millennia-old history of trans people, established by Q***rAF .

It’s a week to learn from our history, and build on and celebrate the work that the incredible trans archivers, historians and content creators are doing.

Today it begins, on the 91st anniversary of the N**i raid on the world’s first trans clinic.

How will you mark the occasion?
