We should be DEEPLY troubled about the sustained attack some of our LGBT+ charities find themselves under for standing up for trans people in the UK. Disturbed and angered that Mermaids can’t even offer support and advice because of the sorry situation we find ourselves in.

If a person of colour thinks something you’ve done is racist, regardless of your intentions, *start* with an apology. This weird notion that racism can only be a deliberate (& explicit) act seems to be getting bigger.
