Notes

My protest sign from the gender recognition reform/section 35 protests in January 2023. The front part was made on the way to the first protest, as a last minute decision to go, then I added the cardboard before the next one. I think protesting is a wonderful part of trans resistance [Formatting Note: a word is scribbled out before the phrase 'trans resistance'.]
