A transgender victim has been made the subject of a constant campaign of abuse, following a gang of teenagers who began to intimidate them last summer.
What started as a standalone incident has become something much more harrowing. For nearly a year now River, aged 29 and who name has been changed to protect their safety, has been harassed, had the windows of their home smashed in and, on one occasion, had to contact police when a teenager turned up wielding a hammer.
River, who lives in East Yorkshire, has come forward to tell of the misery to which they and their family have been subjected - which they strongly feel is a result of their gender identity.
