LGBTQ+

The United Kingdom has been getting worse on trans rights. Not only are the media and political parties capitulating to a handful of influential TERFs, but public policy increasingly reflects this.

Earlier this year, the country banned puberty blockers entirely. This is on top of multi-year waitlists from the National Health Service that jeopardize the lives of trans people in need of healthcare, which have been alleged to have caused an uptick in youth and adult suicides.

Enter Trans Kids Deserve Better. They’re a UK-based activist group that consists primarily of transgender youth aged 18 and below. They’ve quickly made a name for themselves after forming earlier this year with headlines from actions like climbing the National Health Service headquarters and occupying the Department of Education.

Most recently, they infiltrated anti-transgender hate group LGB Alliance’s conference and released over 6,000 crickets in the middle of a talk held by the most boring fake whistleblower, Jamie Reed.

Assigned Media had the privilege of sitting down with one of the activists in the group, who asked to go by Crash (He/They).
