We have one opportunity to fight this – the window is small.

There is one way that could impact decision-makers and turn this debate around.

It’s a simple thing; we’ve used it in the past, in 1999 and 2003.

Governments will ignore the thousands who take to the streets. Politicians will file away our emails into a separate folder, to be answered with a mass-produced, non-committal message.

There is one thing that our Members of Parliament cannot ‘file away ’….the constituent’s hard copy letter on paper. A hard copy letter haunts the corner of your MP’s assistant’s desk. It is the letter that the assistant picks up and says to your MP ‘You really do need to read this, we need to know how to respond?’

If we want to impact the discussions that are currently being had about us, but without us, then trans people and trans allies, whether parents, partners, friends, neighbours and colleagues, need to send a paper letter that will haunt their desks.

Read the article to learn how to do this effectively.

Hear it from the King of Trans: Steven transitioned FtM in 1975!
