Call me what you will but it will influence how I speak to you

After my little out burst last week about people misgendering me, I’ve given this a lot of thought and I really think that you can call me what you will, but remember it will influence how I speak to you as well! That’s not a threat by the way. I’m not going to try and …

Brianna Ghey Vigil, Manchester, in Sackville Gardens

Last night’s vigil in Sackville gardens was awesome. I arrived at 6:30 and there were about 300 people crowded near the monuments but people just kept coming in. In total I would say there was easily over 2000 people there, maybe close to to 2500. My friend turned up at 7:20 and she said the …
