I’m not being funny but… what is going on with crime at the moment? As every day goes by I am hearing more and more horrific reports from people, whether it’s muggings in Soho or hate crimes against (my) LGBTQ+ community.
I’d like to talk about this a little today. The Standard published an insightful article just over a month ago. This stated that in the past year alone, hate crimes against my community rose by 41 per cent and I wouldn’t be surprised if that’ll rise further this year. With anti-trans rhetoric coming directly from our Prime Minister in his party’s scramble to turn people against each other, it sets a dangerous narrative in painting my trans+ siblings as some kind of enemy when all they want is to be able to live as who they are.
