As a Trans Woman, I am terrified to join the current campaign in the by-election for an Edinburgh City Councillor in Corstorphine; I am terrified of leaving my house and when I do, I am deeply afraid that I will not return home again, because of the high level of hate against Trans People. And […]

Before battles re-commence it’s worth re-visiting the mettle of the woman who stated in her First Minister’s re-election speech ‘I resolve never to shy away from the tough calls.’ We’ve seen that, she’s still standing, and it’s a very hopeful start.
