https://www.instagram.com/p/DVwJapNDGIO/ – Big protest at Westminster 11th April. Statement from TKDB: “On the 11th April, Terf group ‘199 Days Later’ plan to march in Westminster, because they believe the government has not gone far enough in excluding trans people after last year’s devastating Supreme Court ruling. They disingenuously claim to stand for women’s rights, while pushing a ‘feminism’ that harms all women by imposing reductive boxes and limiting bodily autonomy. The 11th April does not have to be their day. We can reclaim it.”
