Merseyside’s trans community are fed-up being used as a “football” in politics.
People within the community, including Luis Rowley, are demanding both the Labour Party and the Conservatives start seeing them as actual people “rather than political hurdles” to get over.
Luis, who lives in Everton, said they wish to live in a world where the trans community “aren’t weaponised” and “treated like a threat”. They told the ECHO: “We are living human beings with family and friends, my mum reads the news and worries so much about the world her transgender son is having to live in. Political parties need to see us as people and not political hurdles to get past.”
