We can be defiant against the current physical and legislative assaults on our identities where ‘they’ bully the vulnerable, inciting hate, violence, fear, and despair. If you, like so many are distressed about the current world… I can provide support and hope. Find my recent award winning book Surviving Transphobia here: www-dot-SurvivingTransphobia-dot
