Scotland is quite possibly not going to be our home for much longer sadly. Not sure where or how yet. But, waiting it out doesn't seem like a good option. The trends are all negative.
Not content with being transphobic in their manifesto, Douglas Ross has doubled down and said that people should complain if they see a trans woman using a female space.
We could talk about how he's wrong, where the law stands etc...
But it's just more transphobic emotive fodder.
Sadly, it will harm people in the long run.
The LGBT Youth report is showing the downward trend.

The report itself is well worth a read.
