This can all be achieved by building a strong and knowledgeable community willing to fight and argue back against people. She also hopes that we can take this far enough to start having proper trans media to go against the narrative that is being pushed against us.

Having witnessed the erosion of rights in many countries over the years as a result of political ideology being given precedence over facts and knowledge, and the twisting of facts to suit specific narratives, is now fighting back by using facts and knowledge to challenge the anti-trans agenda and influence those who are in positions of decision making.
