After weeks of constant rain there’s nothing like a bright sunny day to make me realise my windows are fucking filthy.
we hear so much about trans people from the British press yet so rarely hear from them - I'm really pleased this piece was commissioned, and will also be in the physical paper: www.thenewworld.co.uk/marie-le-con...
