Feel pretty sick. Just found out a councillor from my old CLP was actively trying to find out my dead name because he seems to think it is my real name and that he has a right to know. Transphobia has no place in our party. It's really quite scary.

Thank you to all the people in Compton ward who put their trust in me to be your new Councillor. I feel so honoured and privileged. The hard work starts now. 🌹 To the trans community - you belong, your voice is your power. Things will get better. 💖🏳️‍⚧️

4 years ago today, I said the words "I think I might be trans and I'm terrified" Today, I'm so proud to be trans and honoured to be the first openly trans councillor in the South West, being the person I needed when I was younger. It gets better. Chosen family always wins 🏳️‍⚧️💖

Trans people have known for a long time that our human rights have been under attack by successive Governments. The Labour Government must scrap the bathroom ban today.

The Council of Europe has warned that the UK gov’s treatment of trans people may breach human rights law. This must be a wake up call. We’ve seen an increase in hostility towards trans in recent years. Everyone deserves dignity, safety, & respect - that includes trans people.

I'm going to bed with such a whole heart tonight. Thanks to the all the people who came up and spoke to me at the Plymouth trans protest today. Your kind words mean the absolute world to me. This is just the start of things getting better 💖🏳️‍⚧️

5 years ago, I uttered the words "I think I might be trans and I'm terrified". Doesn't quite feel real that I'm celebrating my 5 year Manniversary today, it's a milestone 17 year old me never thought possible. Things do actually get better 🏳️‍⚧️💖

I just want to say thank you to everyone for all of the support I've received over the past few days. To my new followers, I hope you like the pothole filled roads of Compton. It's a real honour and privilege - Let's get to work!🌹💖🏳️‍⚧️ (Just to clarify, my pronouns are he/him 🙂)

I am delighted to have been selected as the Labour Candidate for Compton ward for the May 2022 local elections. I’m keen to help with local issues and hear your thoughts about how Compton, Mannamead, Mutley and Plymouth as a whole can be improved for the better.
