150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.

I've been on several Gaza marches and there are always more people than this and it's EVERY weekend. Yes, frustrating that the press report on one and not the other, I know, whatever, the press is skewed right, big news. But the fact remains...this big huge event is their peak.
